3.7First Officer - Current employee
Recommended to other Pilots Positive business outlookApproval of management- great pay (for canadian standards) in the first three years - all the crew members know one another, makes each flight enjoyable - training is fantastic, and is regarded as is, if not, one of the best in the country - operating a fleet of primarily 737 MAX8 - overall fleet condition is pretty good - flying domestic, transborder, and international routes (mexico, jamaica) - depending on seniority, you can get a pretty sweet schedule - 99% of flights are a there-and-back type of flying, with a few multiple-sector type flying - non-punitive safety reporting policy, and is always encouraged to report, no matter how big or small
- corporate management not transparent with employees on how the airline is doing - lack of transparency and communication does create low motivation, sometimes resulting in people leaving - not entirely the comany’s fault, but lack of fleet growth. upgrade opportunity is stagnant and also reduces morale - sometimes there are some questionable investments being made, e.g. renting a yacht for a celebration, or art galleries. - in addition to previous point, if the whole goal of LCCs is to save money, some senior captains will be assigned a monthly total duty time over the MMG OT time, meaning they’re paid x1.5 - a lot of red eye flying
- be honest and transparent. the majority of your employees wants to see the airline succeed - explore allocating money to more appropriate areas of the company - don’t pay senior captains x1.5, and perhaps activate the ones on reserve, etc. - set more realistic goals, especially fleet growth, so this doesn’t destroy more of the morale
- overall, a great company to work for - the 737 is a great type rating to have, especially for a first jet - training captain’s are excellent, fun to work with, happy to help, and knowledgeable - understand there isn’t a lot of growth happening, and will be low seniority for quite some time
