Terms and EndearmentThe forum the beancounters hoped would never happen. Your news on pay, rostering, allowances, extras and negotiations where you work. Let others in the industry make educated choices on where the grass is less brown! Scheduled, charter or contract -
Well according to their website it is a Guernsey box no. (not an office) and they have an 0208 (London) telephone number.
Sounds like a London based start-up that think they are offshore but, particularly with a London telephone number, they ain't because the Channel Islands are losing their offshore status!
I make it a point never to deal with any company that uses the word 'solutions' in its name. If they're as unimaginative as every plumber, electrician and waste disposal contractor in the Yellow Pages I can't see them being much good.
The solution is easy to understand, Señor Flintstone.

Your salary with them is $8,000/month.
The airline contracts them to supply you for $12,000/month.
Their "solution" is $4,000/month in their bank account.
And all that obviously "offshore" and "no benefits" for you.

Advanced mathematics most pilots never study...
Happy contrails
Smells like shait, looks like shait so must be shait. Flightcrew Solutions had a contract with Latcharter come Smartlynx, a total disaster from what I heard. Promises made and agreements not held by either the contract agency or company. They lost 6 Captains and a few FO's in a few weeks time and apparently it was not smooth sailing at all. The Irish one does not unfortunately have a very good rep around the industry, undeserved some would say? I'd use extreme caution when dealing with the gent in question. Ask yourself a question: Would you buy a used car from this man?

Just check out this accident report from the Icelandic flight accident investigation board
Runway overrun on a 10.000' runway, Duty time busting and etc............
I worked for Flight Crew Solutions for 4+ years and every month I got the exact amount of money which was agreed in my contract, paid into my bank account and if there was a problem ( extra overtime or day off payment etc ) , it was taking care of right away.
As a pilot you are in full control of stopping the wheels from turning if your paycheck is late. Only YOU can decide how many days or weeks to fly without money.
You certainly are worth your name. Would you please ask us about our view of the said person. That is , those who had the displeasure of working for him and his show for many years, what we think of it him and his cohorts, before you post total utter stupidity such as you did on a public forum please.
