Yes, I like Panam!!!
Like a lot of pilots in the community, I am reading the pprune forums, and I have been reading all the posts concerning Beijing Panam for some time.
I have read all kinds of things there, but this time I feel like I should add my contribution to the debate.
I have been working there for some time, and the first thing that strikes me when I read the posts, is the amount of nonsense relayed by people who don't even work there!
"I have heard this...", "I have been told that...", "the rumor is"... and this goes on and on.
Come on everybody!
Anyone who has worked there will tell you: come and see it for yourself!
This is the first flying school of its kind in China, so there has to be some minor problems, but hey! what flying school has never experienced some problems?
As to the allegations concerning the "group of friends", "the close circle of friends", getting all the promotions, this is all nonsense.
The fact is that it is a close community of expats, and we are all like a family. Every instructor who works for this company is given the opportunity to rise, and the promotions are based on hard work, consistency, punctuality, seniority and experience.
As to the management team, they all have my complete trust and support.
They are always here for us, you can call them day and night, they really make you feel that you are a part of a great community. These guys are highly experienced and highly respected people in the industry, I really trust them to make the right decisions.
I feel happy to be involved with such people.
So let me just say: come and see for yourself what a great place this is.
