Pros

Safety conscious. No questions asked for weather turn downs. Some management are phenomenal, some are mediocre at best. 7/7 schedule.

Cons

Pay. This is my third year without a raise. Now, because of the Union, all the pilots will be in a pay freeze until 2020 - which is two more years without a raise. You have to deal with the greedy pilots who reject contracts because they want more. For example, Air Methods offered guaranteed 3% raise for the next three years, plus 3% back pay for work and 5% back pay for OT. Because the contract was rejected, now we get nothing. Several pilots are going to the Airlines. Pay is way better, and after the first few years the work/life balance is way better.

Pros

Only pro was the hiring process which consisted of two interviews and then an offer. That should have been the first red flag.

Cons

Private Equity controlled organization. No onboarding process or training provided. You are sent to their HQ for two days of learning how to turn your computer on and how to open a couple of computer applications. They are looking for a zero to hero hire. Be prepared. Tumultuous with lots of turnover. Was told this was a career-long role and in a couple of short months, the CEO was fired, the VP of sales took off. New executive leadership team created an environment of fear and layoffs. Lots of huge egos and very little tolerance for questioning poor business decisions and strategies. No attention given to the voice of the customer and what would strategically help move the needle. It really gives off the odor of a company trying to be sold.
