Not what it used to be! - Mechanic PHI Aviation Employee Review

Hardworking environment where you have the opportunity to learn a lot if you want to do it.

None that personally effect me. Long hours aren't for everyone, and get old quickly. Need to find a balance if you want to succeed.

In 2026 very few to none! Most long-term employees are just marking time to retirement. This includes people in mid and upper management.

The benefits are getting more and more expensive and cover less. The KPI evaluation process punishes workers that have to use sick time for being off work for short or long-term disability under doctor's care. The Hartford insurance company is allowed to delay employee treatment for months even to the point that the employee is terminated after a year of waiting for surgeries. Threats and intimidation are the current management style from the top on down. Computers are more important than quality mechanics. The field bases are dangerously undermanned as far as mechanics and the answer from management when ask about is they can't afford more mechanics. But they always have money for new department heads and computers, tablets and computer programs that never work at the field bases. Major parts issues always waiting for parts all over the Gulf. The morale of the work force is DEAD no matter the effort it isn't rewarded. As Jamie Hinch the CEO stated, "Our reward is a paycheck". In almost 30 years at PHI I have never seen the work force so disgruntled and untrusting of the management. PHI is like a rudderless ship adrift at sea.
