Air Atlanta Icelandic
Pilot reviews
ADD REVIEWStay away
Pros
Due to extremely high turnover upgrades usually happen fairly close to pilots reaching the minimum hourly requirements.
Cons
No job guarantee, no financial security, extremely low pay, old and rapidly ageing fleet, no seniority, permanent discrimination, extremely low morale, very toxic work environment.
Advice to management
No use for any advice. They know exactly what they are doing and will not change the situation until they will be forced to do so by legal requirements (which will not happen anytime soon due to the special status of Iceland)
Advice to future employees
Simply stay away, this is absolutely no career choice for the long term!
However cool it may seem flying a 747 - DON'T fall into this trap!
Pros
the opportunity to get heavy jet experience
Cons
Bogus self-employment, typically combined with management by fear of losing your job. No stable income, no stable rosters, no loyalty towards/among personnel. Second rank treatment by the Icelandic Union Pilots. Toxic and disrespectful
Advice to management
Treat your contractor-pilots with respect / dignity and stop exploiting them just because you think/know you can. Treat them equal to the union pilots.
Advice to future employees
Stay away.
