The bad is: ACC used to be the "Best of the worst", from what I hear; it has now slipped back toward the middle of the pack. I hear the company is struggling financially. (Which one’s aren't) I also hear that the airline side of the business has been in bad shape for some time and the end of the Iraq contract has really hurt the company overall. (That is at least "third-hand" info, so take it for what it's worth.)
I've heard this also.
Cheques always clear and they don't have a history of laying people off
Back a few years ago they furloughed a couple completely out of seniority and at the time fired a few guys on pretty luke warm grounds. The Chief pilot at the time is now gone but I hear the new one isn't much better.
The tobacco chewing guy is actually one of the better people they have there.
