I see old information posted from closed threads...just wondering if anyone has any recent experience or heard anything new about this company. Just wondering if company culture has changed in the last couple of years.

Terrible doesn't even fit...... Simple search of google will fill you in.

The Georgia operation is the worst. Start out at like 6am and fly a C208 from MCN, I think, to ATL. Then sit in the FBO for like 14 hours on duty and fly back to MCN that night.

I guess they put on a great show during the interview though. Your PRIA is in jeopardy at PW. My info is from April/May when I was invited for an interview and did a lot of research before answering the invite. Never went after I found out all the stuff I did..... especially since I was applying for the MCN job where I would get like 1.2 hours flt time a day for 16 hours of duty. You can't live on the wages if you fly in Hawaii.

Thanks for the info. A colleague of mine is leaving current company to go fly C208 out of Maui. We work in a pretty crappy enviroment...I could not imagine anything as worse.

And I'm sure he/she hates it. If not they must be stuck up Gabe's behind. That man is the foulest person I have ever met and deserves to be pushed off a cliff by all the former employees whose lives he has made a living hell.

DO NOT... I repeat... DO NOT work for PW. They are almost on the way out I hope. They are barely hanging on by an EAS contract. Take the crappiest bottom feeder regional and multiply it by 10. Your certificate and good employment record will be in jeopardy everyday. They terminate anyone who goes against the grain. And by against the grain I mean, not breaking FAR's to suit the companys needs, writing up mechanical problems, trying to start a union, etc etc. Hope you catch my drift.
