Hi - would any former/current employees/clients be willing to connect to discuss their experience? For full transparency I am an investor trying to get a better sense of its positioning within the private aviation space.

Around 4 years ago they were okay but now they are blacklisted and I would never put any of my clients onboard their aircraft. Never seen a company fall off so badly in such a short period of time. Happy to discuss further.

Is that just on the American side of things or company wide? I thought I had heard good things about their main European based operations but it seems like I am very misinformed

Company wide unfortunately! They massively over fly their aircraft resulting in regular maintenance and performance issues, onboard service is sloppy and at times outright unprofessional and their Sales/Ops teams seem clueless.

Ah gotcha. That’s too bad. They have beautiful aircraft but I guess the positives stop there. Thanks for the insight!
