Precision Air (indecision air)
To all applying to Precision Air, especially expats. Some expats have been lucky to get in as FO's, and only with type ratings. Don't think I've seen an expat in the left seat there.All expats must be type rated. FO salary is crap, and you will fly with some cowboy captains for sure.
@Petit - good luck there. Rather try other ATR operators. Like Solenta in South Africa.
If you saw the flying skills demonstrated by the captains of Precision Air, that I have seen, you will run the other way. Landing on runways opposite to traffic flow, ignoring ATC instructions, landing with 20 kt tailwinds on wet runways and stopping 100 m short of the end of the runway at Mwanza, because the 737 crew are too lazy to do a circuit, or procedure turn. Near misses daily with these idiots, who lie about their position, distances and eta's, just to be given priority over other traffic. and lets not talk about them canceling flights all the time, no ticket refunds. They are also known to depart 30 min to 2 hours early . . screw the schedule, the plane is needed somewhere else. Also leave bags behind in Nairobi a lot, cause the crew couldn't be bothered to refuel and maximize payload.
Good luck, I wouldn't fly for them if they paid my rating . . just my personal view on them.
One or 2 expat pilots, paid there ratings, got some hours, and are now in a better place i.e. Qatar and corporate jobs. . .
