It’s a startup airline that is actually growing, things change from month to month even day to day sometimes. It’s very hard for recruiters to give you the best picture of what your overall life will be like a few months down the line. You really need to understand what it means to accept the job at a startup. If you come here expecting everything just all setup for you flawlessly and predictably then you’re going to have a rough time. The other places have had decades head start on that. Even up to a month or so ago it felt like a mess as far as crew support went out on the line. As it’s been said, things are definitely trending in the right direction. They’ve made changes in that department and I feel like management at least is listening, regardless how quickly things get addressed or not. At the end of the day you have to be someone that accepts the risks of working at a startup. I mean ask any initial JetBlue or Virgin America pilots how it was first few years and I’m sure they’d all tell you the same thing. It’s complicated too because we have 3 different types of operations, the A220/Ejet passenger flying as well as the charter side. But that at least offers some variety of flying options for the pilots. Ejet charter for example has become pretty sought out with less openings available due to commutability and days off.
