Many pilots, including myself, peruse these forums to gauge an airline’s culture, and to differentiate between propaganda recruiting claims and reality.

You have given potential applicants a lot to consider - false claims about compensation, toxic pilot culture, and treating employees like they’re an expendable commodity.

You may have actually saved some people from making a horrible mistake by working for Connect. Thank you

Oh yea buddy what you said makes perfect sense. You, and these pilots you speak of are akin to a dog chasing it’s tail. Your never going to get a feel for anything here and that’s great because with keeping people like you out of the company we won’t have drama like there is on this forum.

Yeah I've started to seriously consider that they don't actually work there, and are putting up such ridiculous posts to underhandedly keep people from going. No other rational reason to post like that.

Nonetheless, this company is sketchy. Clearly their recruiting tactics rely upon lies about compensation expectations. Treating employees like an expendable commodity is a nonstarter for me - sure they're treating pilots well now because of the labor market, but when push comes to shove I have no doubt they will go back to their cheap labor roots and attitudes. After all, that's what they originally planned on doing.

Best of luck to everyone involved here, you're gonna need it.

Wise words to live by. Will serve all of us a long time.
Than being said, I shot my junk in just to see what happens. I flew the ATR, I'd like to see how the Dash flies so that I can rest assured the ATR is the better product.

Thumbs down Interesting

The previous flying was all expunged. No flying from July 23rd to August 8 then see above. All late AND two days in between, no flying! Now I’m no expert but it does not seem things are going well.

They can use the gimmick “Smart Captain”, all they want but I would’nt risk it and you’ll never see any of those bonuses. I wonder how many are REALLY buying this and going to work there?

Says one thing then another. I’m thinking it’s a bait and switch tactic or a bad magic act. They don’t think you see it but it’s really obvious.

The more information, and the more people realise what kind of company this is, the better. From the very beginning, it looks really shady and quite frankly, how are they even allowed to operate?

And then there’s still the profile.

To anyone who reads this forum. This poster simply has nothing better to do with their time except try to make Connect look like a bad company. Look at this posters history. It’s like some personal vendetta.
Not only that, but since this poster has ZERO knowledge of what’s going on, they try to piece things together in a negative way.

If said poster has such a great career why are they constantly posting negative things here? Note to poster, get a life pls. I am very happy here and this place is going to be the place to come while your sitting there whining like a little girl…..

Oh it’s definitely a bait and switch scam. $250K for a Dash 8 Captain isn’t a sustainable business model. That and no no revenue flights have ever happened so there’s no proof you’ll get paid what they say.
