Pros

Interesting work Great team Fairly secure employment

Cons

The company is ran like an RAF Squadron There are no bonuses or benefits The employee ownership trust is a marketing scam, just a tax dodge by the directors A fleet of aircraft that should have retired decades ago Overworked key body of staff, which is expected to just cope with overwork The pay is poor compared to industry competition The management use the excuse "the pay is ok for the area" which is irrelevant

Pros

None, unless you count the free parking

Cons

Appalling standards of leadership and management. Some individuals still believe they're still serving in the military and have not adapted their conduct to the civilian environment. The shift leaders have very limited civilian aircraft experience and limited aircraft licence cover. The company does not pay for additional licence cover or type cover, so if you're a dual B1 & B2 with B200 & B300 on your licence don't expect additional pay. The O/T rate is 1.3x . The company deduct your salary during break times. They annualise your annual leave. HR personnel are unbelievable - totally unapproachable exemplify many of the worst characteristics would skin a fart if they could (eg HR allegedly mis-calculated working hours so they forced the employees to sacrifice their leave or work O/T for free for 40 hrs to make up for their mistakes). Old school 'bonds' for awful type training courses to maintain their ageing aircraft fleet. Limited access to IT - A truly shocking company to work for, could nt wait to leave.

Pros

Work with air craft and fly when permitted

Cons

One of the mot nepotistic companies I have worked for, you have to be related, in a relationship or having an affair to succeed in the company. The employee ownership is an absolute con Stop treating it like a boys club and when you have decent staff retain them and share the same perks that all the top entitle themselves to
