Weststar

Word to the wise for anyone currently being recruited by Weststar for AW139 or AW189 ex-pat positions. Your contract terms and conditions(i.e. pay, rotation, travel) will not be honored nor recognized by the current management operating the company. In the past 12 months pay cuts have amounted to as much as 35%, rotations arbitrarily changed, and travel cut. At any point during your employment you can likely expect a pay cut or rotation change in order to "manage our costs better." As well, maintenance has plummeted with the mismanagement of company resources and engineers. Expect a third world level of maintenance on an already overworked/underpaid maintenance staff. Your "local" maintenance staff is sorely under qualified to maintain complex equipment of any variety.
