Pros

The pilots are knowledgeable and good to work with.

Cons

The Preach safety and well being of people but it’s smoke and mirrors. First the pay sucks and the schedule blows because it does not allow a work/family balance. Also a lot of people don’t know this but you are not allowed to use sick time until after your 5th year employed. So you burn what little PTO time you earn. Also be careful of the sign on bonus. That is supposed to be $15,000. They tax it at a high rate and they give you a initial $7500 that you only bring home $4500 and then you get another $3750 after 12 months and then the final $3750 after 2 years. If you don’t stay they will come after you for repayment. Now the people involved with the Kentucky bases have a history of legal action against former employees for wrongful termination that is public record. Some people are great to work with but for the most part everyone is in it for themselves. So before working here, do your research. If it seems to good to be true run. There is no communication which they truly lack from the base on up to management. There’s no integrity with the people assigned to the base let alone the company
