Of course if your not GK, then I wish you the best at PW, and I don't wish misery on you at all. Your experience at PW will be just that, an experience in which you will learn from.

Well thanks for not wishing misery on me. I'm not GK.

But I've been with PW for a while and frankly I have never had any problems with GK or anyone in management. I knew what I was getting into when I accepted the job and the truth is this job has not been nearly as bad as some people say it is. I actually enjoy the flying, had never had anyone pressure me into flying when I decided was unsafe or illegal (cancelled flights for wx more than a few times), the mechanics I work with have never, ever pencil whipped anything (they take their job very seriously and are very safety oriented folks). As a matter of fact, it's a little insulting to hear what some people say here about PW's mx. I know these guys and they sure don't deserve the reputation some are preaching here.

Now, of course they could improve pilots QOL with some effort. It's far from being a retirement job. But if someone is unemployed and wants to work for an "okay" company, please go out and try it for yourself. Despite what people say, it has worked out for me and others too. Some pilots, have been with PW for 3 years and won't be moving until a very good opportunity come their way. Management knows and expects that. This is a time/experience building job.

As far as salary goes, PIC 1st year is 32.5k + 1k (6 month bonus) + 1.5k (12 months bonus), 2k (18 months) and the same every 6 months thereafter. They also provide up to 1k moving allowance (not much but it helps) and $200 uniform reimbursement every year.

Do your best to get your pax's from A to B. Learn the difference between uncomfortable/unsafe and you should be fine.

This is how I see it. Am I blind? Some here will say so.

Take care and forgive me for being rude on my first post on this thread.
