Hey!been following this thread since the begining. In my opinion, having worked for other contract companies as well, Solenta is top class!!! They pay average, you will always find more if you look around, but the fact that there is NO flying "broken" Aircraft, Money is in your bank account at the end of every month, And the most important factor for me, is the recurrent training is unbelievable, better than I have ever had. I will quiet happily work for slightly less cash, Peace of mind is worth a lot of money. All I can tell you about the salaries is that they are Average. More than enough to live on, And if you take into account the cost of the training they give you, the package is well above market average. As for the others in this thread who are clearly against solenta, and seem like they work in the company(assuming from the quotes)LEAVE!you are giving the company that myself and plenty of other pilots take pride in working for, a bad name.

Missing the Point
Hi
A lot of you are missing the point.
1) You are building valuable Multi Crew Twin Turbine time in your loogbook, good for a future Airline job.
2) Unlike a lot of Charter and contract companies that offer more Bucks at least you get your money every month.
No I dont fly for Solenta but have 4 years of Algerian experiance, thier are worse places to fly and unfortunatly you have to deal with some real Wallys.
Remember you have to learn to Crawl before Walking and Walk before running this is an appreticeship we all have to do to make a lasting carreer in Aviation.
Be Positive and Learn

There we Go again...
OO IT!, you just pointed out a very interesting thing that kept us busy for the last 8 monthes!...Salaries!
I already have my popcorn pack and sit comfortly in my sofa waiting to see what's going to come out of your question!
...locked and loaded...
Trust me, you wont be desapointed (by Solenta's salary, and by the answers that will soon be posted below those lines by tens of tens of pilots thirsty of fresh blood)
...thanks for the coming entertainment...

OK here we go again,
From what i have seen sloenta pay pretty well- they actually have a vested interest in there employees, the management seems to listen, they have upgrade programs and treat you as if you were looking to make a career out of your employment with the company.
On site support is a available always, maintenance is top notch and generally employ well qualified and competent crew for the operation.
No i donot work for solenta either i am but a bystander. UNfortunately

Hi!Sku
Im rily not that much experienced in aviation,Im still a low timer.first officer on the ATR.My piece of advice to you is one simple one,LIFE IS A LEARNING CURVE,you posted a thread asking about job opportunities with Solenta and you got views about the company.Do wat you think is right for you.I myself once thoghout of getting a job with Solenta,but my insticts wouldnt let me.And I never did it.All these guys who are responding to have their reasons and I can tell you that 90% of them are SA guys,they know wats happening within their country.I trained there myself,SA is my neighbour.Aviation is a mess nowdays,pilots are exploited,overworked not paid well and in time and so many outrageous things that you can think of.
Its other you take their advice or you dnt.
Come to think about it,all this guys who saying SOLENTA aint a gud company to work for,who South Africans,what will happen to you whn you get thr.
Im not trying to scare the hell out of you or anything,bt gudluck
