Hi guys. I work for Silverjet (still now) so I think my opinion may be a bit more realistic than the one of some of you here who don't even work for Silverjet or worked ages ago.
I don't understand why somebody would try to say all that bunch of lies about an airline when the idea of this was to help people who want to join the company to have a clearer idea of what the airline is.
As all other airlines it has some points which could improve, but none of them are as bad as to leave the company nor anything, plus its a quite new airline, and that has good and bad points.
I used to do short flights with Ryanair and belive me, that was hard work, more than 3 B2B one after the other. The service is fine, it may be complicated for the 1st 3 flights but you get used to it. The pay is fine, if you work hard you get promotions in a very shot time if you compare it to some other airlines and then your pay increases a lot. About the Unions, they can all go to hell
I don't think I need them cos our managers are very supportive, so if I have a problem, I just let them know and they sort it for me.
Pax are lovely, but if you're not strong enough to take a bit of sht from them every now and then (as in every other airline) maybe you're not in the right job.
Food is great, but again, fussy people are everywhere.
Last thing guys, if u're not happy with the company, you can do as Stacey did, just leave the company cus if you are moaning in stead of working, you're not really making any good for the company (and trust me, we've got few moaners, they must come from super great airlines...)
I think Ianj gave the most realistic statements of how the airline works, so guys, listen to him, or if you prefer, keep moaning and doing nothing about it, and keep looking for that airline where you work once a month and you get a great pay + they go to the supermarket to get you the crew food that you like and get you a bed to have 5 hours of crew rest on a LTN-EWR, u hard workers
