I worked a year and half with AAI, never had a contract, got paid 175$ a day, I was pushed to fly illegaly (If you don't do it, we send you back home is the standard answer at AAI).
The management calls their pilots the boomerangs (the stronger you throw them, the faster they come back). I made up my mind and quit my job without having anything else in view. I couldn't cope with the spirit, never seen such a bunch of liers.
I'd rather not be flying
