I am quite surprised by the comments which Jaz have made about contractair
I have just completed a 6 month contract through them. As a pilot who has actually been represented through Contractair I am sure i have far more knowledge into what support i get in my contract instead of these direct guys. Trouble is there are a lot of rumors and some like putting things into others heads. I love the flying here and the local are very friendly.
My advice flybean is to make your own mind up and stand on your own two feet. I am happy here and have been very pleased with the support i have received.
Unlike others contractair have actually come to visit us and spend time with us. They have helped make this contract better. I will always go to them first when looking for a job. Sorry Jazz but difference in opinion here!
