Silverjet - The 'Unsivilised' Place to Work!

Airbourne-Adamski,

Thanks for the post.

"But of my crew was chatting (Galley FM as usual) and saying her friend left us at easy for SJ and is now desperate to leave SJ due to poor wages, bad management, no care for staff, not much work and generally not a good place to work (apart from her crew colleges)."


Unfortunately you don't surprise me - although 'not much work' is different to the norm. Most crew are exhausted with back to back flights to New York and Dubai.

The big problem with Silverjet, as you have hit on the head, is bad management and no care for staff. It deteriorates on a daily basis, and as long as the people at the top remain, things will never improve for us or the health of the company.

Most of them are running from other companies and are desperate to control things by brute force rather than respect and intelligence.


Your friend is not in a minority. We have had several people join at levels including IFM, go through the months of training and investment, and then leave shortly afterwards. Some of them have been excellent people to work with.


We have recently even had one SC leave within a week of going on line!!!!!!!


Guess what the company just shrugs it off as if there are plenty more out there. Not believing in the brand, wrong beliefs e.t.c....... When will they get real?


Sad thing is your friend had something to judge Silverjet by, and therefore an idea of how an airline, or for that matter any company should be run.

If they could, I am sure they would crew our planes totally with people without aviation experience. Great on paper, no complaints, just God help them when there is an incident that would quickly become an accident without people with experience.

Thankfully the CAA stops us doing this totally.


Unless things change dramatically, and by that I mean, management, price of oil and passenger numbers, Silverjet looks like another Maxjet!


I sincerely hope that someone in management is reading this, and I'd be kidding myself if they weren't, and for the first time steps back and smells the coffee. I'll probably just get another threat from them.


The recipe is there for the company, but just like the Titannic so are the ice-bergs which are getting perilously close!!!


Well I am off to put my CV into turbo-boost, take out life insurance, avoid my Silverjet slave masters e.t.c...


Wishing everyone regardless of their views a Happy New Year.
