All of the Gulfstreams have recently been parked and sold. All of the Flight Attendants have been let go, and any remaining GIV pilots who haven't already quit are being offered downgrades with training dates months and months in the future along with associated pay cuts without any prior pay rate protections. If someone desires to fly the Challenger, either from being forced downgraded from the Gulfstreams or wants to internal upgrade from say the light jet fleet they must sign a non industry standard 2 year training contract rated at $60,000. Claims of doing internal upgrades based on seniority have also been false. Some have been skipped over unfairly and left with empty promises. Hiring direct entry captains who skip over already qualified talent on property hurts moral and slows personal growth. But new pilogs at year 1 pay are cheaper than tenured pilots who are too expensive. Transparency is as clear as muddy water. While some people on here paint a pretty picture because they look at different values is fine, but don't neglect or cover up the rest of the full story. Just make sure to ask all the questions and evaluate what you really what out of a company based on how they treat their employees. It may be sunshine and roses on the smaller fleet with their new toys, however that is not uniform across the board as numerous people are stil leaving each mouth looking for better opportunities. Take it all into consideration.
