Easy to say « do not work there » when this is the only company giving you the opportunity to enter the pilot market and give you a contract… everybody knows that without some hours on a CS25 aircraft 95% of the airlines will not even bother answering to your application, even more if you have an atypic profile.
So yes SmartLynx has many bad points, but most of the people use it as an hour building airline and for that purpose thank god they exist and don’t ask 500h on Type to apply. Thanks to this, pilots can join the pilot market and be more credible to legacy airlines. The only problem is are they really going to sue you if you don’t pay their contractual penalty when you want to leave.
