Vantaggi

The individual people that you work with are a great bunch, who all pull together to achieve the best. This is despite the company structure and management lending itself to a completely ineffective performance of any task that it claims to be able to do. On the plus side, if you like work, you'll get lots of it at Gama Aviation. Lots and lots and lots of it, because every department is chronically understaffed. Also, if you like being disturbed on your days off- join Gama.

Svantaggi

Salaries are some of the lowest in the aviation industry. This is the job that you do until you get another job. Not one single pilot at Gama Aviation is genuinely happy there. Technical defect with the aircraft? Don't write it in the book, because that is sure to generate an uncomfortable "chat" with management. Want to take holiday? Good luck getting the dates that you want. Think you're entitled to 28 days holiday? And 8 days off a month? You should be so lucky. Think you're finishing work at that time? Good luck! Got an idea to improve the way things work at Gama? Keep it to yourself, it'll get ignored. Gama is somewhere you work because you couldn't get a job anywhere else. Use the time that you are sitting in their office to fill in applications for other jobs, because no matter how hard you work there things will never, ever get any better.

Vantaggi

WheelsUp appears to be a great concept, great equipment, pilots probably some of the hardest working in the industry and really work hard to make it go smoothly for the clients.

Svantaggi

Poor Management Model, pilots are overworked to the point of exhaustion and expected to work like robots, "don't think, just do" philosophy? The King Air checklist procedures will result in an accident at some point (a lot of "heads down" at critical bases of flight attempting to accomplish this ridiculous checklist that is basically a CYA procedure for the legal department - it borders on being dangerous! The clients always watch their assigned aircraft on an APP, always showing up early and pressuring pilots to accommodate an early departure ALL THE TIME, stressing out crews who NEVER have any time to prepare between flights, or simply grab a quick bite to eat before their next scheduled flight! HIGH stress environment, brokers/sales staff over sells the program but no matter what, pilots have to accommodate and put up with whatever the client is promised. Pilots become burned out very quickly and leave for other jobs.
