There is no union, and no seniority system for upgrading. They upgrade the best butt kissers first, and let the people who won't push the FAR's to the limit sit right seat until they resign. If you don't mind kissing tail, being subject tobeing fired because somebody doesn't "like" you, never upgrading because you told them you were too tired to safely reposition the plane at 3AM, then it isn't the place to be.
I have four friends who went there over the last five years. All have left, and do not have pleasant things to say about the company.

Those Grob jets have been "on order", "on the way", "we're getting them" for well over three years now.

It is not the management at Alphas fault that the Grobs are not coming. They have the financials and the delivery slots but Grob is currently falling apart. Not much you can do about that. Alpha will more than likely lose money in the deal and not end up with the jets. Should have just bought mustangs at the beginning.
