Segrave Aviation, yep the worst

[In The Wind]

The new BS there is to fire guys as they are due recurrent training. Then hire Pilots off the street that are current. Good luck to the Pilots that are working for the Puddle Pirate and his "Scab" Mgt.

I had heard a little something about this, was not sure if it was factual or not. Segrave has never really had a great reputation. I have met some of their pilots though and all of them were very cordial. I have heard their manangement is not....

Call/fax ARG/US with proof. This bottom feeder will go down in flames and hopefully for good!

Dad and Junior are exactly what is wrong has been wrong with this industry for far, too, long. In spite of all that is said and written about them, people beat down the doors in Kinston for a "job".

Take what you read on here with a grain of salt. Segrave is not a bad place to work. It has its growing pains, but overall, there is little to complain about. They will, however, get their money's worth out of you. 10 rotations, 5-6 days off, and you can expect to work 18-20 days a months.

aren't they pegasus now?

That's a little more than getting their money's worth. That's god damn slave labor. There are too many pilots and not enough jobs. My advice to fix the industry is to not take the sh!t jobs. If you can't find a decent job, too bad. You are not meant to be a professional pilot.

I would hardly call it a ******************** job. Most professionals in this world that are worth a damn, work 22-24 days a month. Ask any business person, lawyer, doctor, dentist, etc.

Pilots, in general, are a bunch of lazy asses that think working 18 days a month is a hardship. Working 18 days a month (a little more than half the year) and making $85K is not a bad deal, a hardship, or a ******************** job.

Furthermore, changing careers in this economy is easier said than done. For most, it means going back to school, assuming more debt, and then prating and hoping a job in one's new industry is available.

216 days a year.
$85k=393.51 daily pay.
14 hr day=$28.10 per hr.
Think you could find a lawyer for $28.10 per hr?

Most lawyer's, doctor's and dentist's are not gone away from home during those 18-24 days per month either. And most of them are off on Holidays. It is really not an accurate comparison. On the other hand, now is NOT the time to quit even a bad flying job. Things will turn around, they usually do and that is when the bad employers will be hurting for pilots.

Actually, I was told that Segrave pays their Hawker Capt's $360 per day so it is more like $25.71 per hour. But I agree, I can't even pay my electrician that much (he charges me $30 per hour), and only because he is out of work and is doing 'off the books' cash day work.

And just who do work for that's so great in this economy? Slave labor? I don't think so. There are guys there making 85-100k. Ask those unemployed with their benefits running out how bad a job that would be right now. Hell, most of them weren't making that when they had a job.
