Most of the time he is on vacation for months at a time but when he is around he threatens the pilots to fly. I’ve heard him threaten some of them with death, belive it or not. He is an abusive employer and will try and force you to fly even if it breaks major regulations and safety hazards. I would never go there if I knew I was going to work under him. Ask if he is around before you go. If he is not the company is run by his son Shaun who is a very understanding boss who really does focus a lot of safety and treats the pilots moderately well. Just know your FAR’s, know your rights, and just save enough to come home early.
