that sounds about right for PW. They are a bunch of idiots. Treat their pilots like crap. Treat the customers like crap. Im so glad I dont work there anymore. Maintenance issues all over... pencil whipping.... cutting corners. Eventually someone is going to die.
Oh and dont ever think of refusing a flight over maintenance or weather. No matter your exemplary employment and training records... you WILL get fired.
