That's why we are interviewing and hiring their furloughed guys! It goes way beyond paint jobs and nitches. Customers really don't care about paint jobs as much as customer service and reliability.
Customer service and reliability is always important, but employees having a good quality of life and standard of living is also very important... I think companys with certain nitches have a great marketing group...

We strive to always improve on QOL and pay for our employees.
We will not set a standard that is to the detriment of the company, but increase as business increases. We are within the window of Pro Pilot Salary Survey as compared to aircraft an operation.
There have been too many companies who have set a standard for employees that unable to be maintained. We will not be one of those companies and I am proud of that.

As for paint schemes. I have seen one of our 300's parked next to a Netjets 300. Our paint job is far better IMHO.
As for other fractionals, a few have nice paint jobs and I understand why Jetsuite has chosen to paint the red stripe, but it doesn't fit what EAS is after. We want to market our business on who and what we are for our customers, not on a funny paint job.

Every prospective employee should ask themselves one question; "Is this company doing the things it needs to to be doing to be profitable in the long term, or are they just using up the assets?"

EAS is clearly one of the company's in this industry that is doing those things it needs to insure it's long term viability. No "deal" is guaranteed forever, if you think so, just ask any former employee of any failed business how that worked "guaranteed deal out for them?"

Private companies need to stay profitable, if you add value to the company and bring in more than you cost, you should have a long an successful career, not just with EAS, or any other firm you might join. Unlike the government, EAS lives and operates in real-ville, and you need to keep that in mind when it comes to QOF issues.

Sorry for the typo, that should read: "How did that guaranteed deal work out for you"?
