Avionco, The Destroyers Of Pilot Careers.
Fitzy690,
Glad to hear that Avionco is cleaning up its reputation a bit. I was lied to about my contract, both in missing info and in misrepresentation. I was not paid for work done, and for the work that I did get paid for, was often paid late, as much as 28 days late. This equates to almost two months with no paycheck! I find that they are vindictive, unscrupulous, and are destroying pilot careers on a regular basis. They also show great favoritism to you Canadian Pilots. If you are not on their Bombardier CLP program, then you are just Cannon Fodder.
Their non CLP pilots in the field are mismanaged, or have no management at all through the means of information vacuum, and the rule of, “Survival of the fittest and most ruthless”. There are many good pilots trapped at Avionco in these hard times, but there, you will find some of the biggest rejects in the pilot industry, and their own histories will prove this point. Avionco does not screen pilots very well.
I personally have found several of their pilots to be poor ambassadors to both Avionco and to the North American pilot Expats working abroad. I would not recommend them to work for. Even the CLP pilots are being constantly lied to, so that Avionco can continue to man the Bombardier contract they have in force.
These people will use you, lie to you, and then throw you away without you even knowing about it until it’s too late. Then if you challenge them, they will go out of their way to try and bar you from working with any other contracting company or employer out there. All of this, I know from first-hand personal experience. There is just no future in them.
Good Luck.
