Be Careful
Hi everyone,
I've read this ad on a website.
I don't advice you to apply to this company...
Some friends of mine have had a lot of problems with this company during firefighting season.
Poor maintenance, low salaries, old aircarfts....
After a helicopter crash, a Chilean pilot has pressed charges against this company. No Social Security (means no health insurance).
Not many Spanish pilots want to fly for them so they are looking for pilots outside Spain.
Company :
FAASA Aviacion

bogus operators
I especially like the "EASA" part...means zip to nothing. I know of another flakey outfit located somewhere in Europe, not providing work permits as promised, not paying salaries, no employee contract...stay tuned for another episode of "Is it possible under JAA regulations?!?...Yes it is!"
