One of the worst companies in EU

Pros

I can't remember any, but if your goal is to fly and build hours, this probably isn't the place for you. They barely have any contracts, so you'll spend a lot of time on standby or reserve. And if money isn't important to you, then you'll fit right in—because the pay is pretty poor.

Cons

Not sure where to start. All is so bad, they treat you with 0 respect. They take the worst contracts no other companies want. They choose to send you to work in not safe countries and if you don't want, they will fire you.

Advice to management

The managment should be replaced by 100% Not only management, but all of them who are working on important positions and literally have no idea how to do the job.

Advice to future employees

Better don't apply. You will regret pretty fast and wish you have started somewhere else. Waste of time, effort and health.

Poor Management and Lack of Support

Pros

If you are looking for start and you don't have better option.

Cons

Working in war zone without any emergency plan, forcing them to stay there or you lose job. They don't respect crew at all. Very Toxic Workplace Culture. Not a Place for Professional Growth

Advice to management

Hard to give them advice since there is lot of cultural problems, respect to the people. They experience is low, either their first job in aviation or another ACMI. They are signing contracts that nobody wants.

Advice to future employees

Avoid

For a Summer Job or zero hours cadets

Pros

Flying to different airports for different Airlines

Cons

Soviet mentality ( in it´s worst meaning), they sign ACMI contracts to fly in conflict areas without proper risk assessment. Zero respect for the cockpit crews and continuous breach of contract.

Advice to management

Just retire, go back to school or simply commit suicide. You are beyond repair.

Advice to future employees

Avoid.
