I have worked at EBJ for the last 6 months or so and I have got to say, they have been great, they kept their promises to me and I am enjoying the flying, people, training and the salary.
Am very bored of the negative stuff that is flying around. Every company has its issues and I can tell you that the two previous companies I have worked for have had far bigger issues that will not ever be resolved! We as a company are moving forward with a great bunch of committed individuals who can recognise the gains and benefits we will all enjoy as this company grows...
I go to work and I come home with a smile on my face, even when the F/Os have nicked all the handling sectors off me! It’s a good place to be and I am sure in another 6 months time we will have grown and changed yet again...
How about that for a company moving forward...

Have to say people can be right bastards, there are even people who replied on this thread in this last day hoping that they will fold so they can move in on there customers.
Give EBJ some slack, they are doing well and have issues but as another poster says there are other companies out there with bigger issues!!
And l dont even work for them!!
Good Luck Guys!

What I heard about EBJ
I have two friends who have worked for EBJ and both have left because of the way EBJ had treated them. I heard from my friend that EBJ are unreliable as far as being payed on time if at all!
From the impression I got there are a few people who work for EBJ who are good people however there are a few others who can make your life difficult and have been the reason why people have left. They have lost a lot of pilots who have moved to other companies as other companies seem to offer better working conditions and pay.
For anyone who is thinking of working for EBJ beware!!
I have worked for a couple of companies in business aviation and I can say that from my experience and what I have heard about EBJ there are better companies out there to work for!!

Happy Pilot
I have had the pleasure of flying for EBJ for nearly a year now and I am really fed up with friends calling me up to answer idle bull 
manure that people are posting on this. Most of the people hear stuff from a 'friend of a friend' just plainly embelished cos it makes a good story! Give it a rest !
Any company that grows quickly, aviation or otherwise, is going to have operational and financial issues but we are coping admirably.
We all have company credit cards! I have never had a problem getting my expenses! I have never had a problem getting paid! I am not looking for another job!
We have a great bunch of Pilots who work hard and to a high standard matched only by the devotion of our Ops guys. Any company will have a turnover of staff. It is not as high as should be believed by the spoken of in here. Grass is always greener I guess.
Can I ask that can we stick to the original question and not continue with this prolific abuse! What about spreading some of the nicer rumours about how many aircraft we have on the way, how many pilots we are recruiting etc....
God bless EBJ and all who sail in her!!! [ok, maybe gone a bit far now!]

EBJ on the up
Firstly, lets look at the critisim, and see if we can justify this.
In this current climate, there is an abundance of jobs out there.
So when new pilots use companies such as EBJ, then go on to another company, as soon as EBJ has Given them a start. Then to slag them off, after being with them for all of five min's, seems to me to be a little harsh.
One thing that EBJ show's, is a willingness to invest in people. Which is a good thing, as some of these whingers, wouldn't get a foot in the door.
Myself Who speak to there customers on a regular basis, get nothing but good feedback from them. So what is going wrong? Nothing i would suggest. Like any company, which undergoes such a rapid growth, is liable to some degree of critisism. But in aviation you can only increase rescourses, when things actualy happen.
I think we should all be encouraging, and not slagging these companies off, as any damage done by miss conception, would inevitably effect us all. Not to mention all our future job prospects,
Oh and rumours, as with chinese whispers, get out of control. Next time your told anything about a company, Listen to the majority, that post there responses on pprune, with positive feedback.ss wipes

Ok, it was exciting for five minutes, literally. Get your facts straight or stay off the internet, simple choice really. If you are going to comment in such an emotional way perhaps you should use your real name. Anyway, I think I know who you are. If I was to judge you by your spelling and grammar, I would either go for the bloke who hoovers the aircraft or the director of flight operations.
Ahem.ss wipe.
P.S. Take your own advice and listen to the majority.

Hi Andy
Don't critisize my grammar or spelling, when you obviously can't read?
I was trying to defend them, or have you switched opinion?
Happy new year

EBJ fleet spare capacity is being heavily marketed right now which possibly indicates 3 things?
1. sales are more organised in 2008
2. they are not as complacent as they used to be
3. pressure on from above?
as they are a plc their financials are public knowledge for those who are interested.

For such a "great" company, there are sure some interesting comments flying around on here, from various people. If it was all roses then no-one would post on here. It's about the rough with the smooth. I know several guys who are happy, others which aren't. Each to their own. I wish everyone happy flying

I see that the EBJ chairman in the interim accounts of Dec07 states that he is 'disappointed' that the 2006 interim loss of £683,000 is now a £553,000 loss in 2007. And that's just for 6 months. So in the private jet industry's biggest boom period ever, they are still losing £1m a year. Long way to go.
