Pros

Nothing! Only suffering and waiting for the day my contract end

Cons

First of all, the salary didn't worth the efforts. Everyone who just entered this place felt like they were trapped, especially when they asked us to sign the contract immediately with zero knowledge of the real situation happen in this company. They assigned us as management trainee, but in reality we were asked to be the owner server. It has been a common jokes that we are management trainee doubles as a dishwasher, guest server, and luggage lifter.

Pros

There's nothing that makes me want to stay. I’ve already given my best effort in the first three months.

Cons

Without realizing it, this office hires a lot of people as employees but also treats them like 'Maids'. They use the word "please" as a cover but force employees to work overtime and serve the owner in hosting guests. The tasks range from being a waiter, washing dishes, to doing so-called "beach clean up" which are actually cleaning the yard of the owner's beachfront villa. Local employees are treated poorly and paid below standard, all while the owner and their family live a lavish lifestyle. The Love-Bird are equally unreasonable, constantly yelling without listening to the reality on the ground. It’s a stark contrast to expat employees who received special treatment. Then there are the Management Trainees acting arrogant. One MT with the highest salary is also a director of a shell company created by this business. Be careful—they’ve set up many shell companies instead of employing people in their main office.

Pros

I am afraid they are NO pros in this company. Go to another company if you want to fly in Indonesia and build hours

Cons

The management is not making the correct decisions at Susi Air, they rules the company with an iron hand and he doesn't listen to any advice. They are very rude to his employees so he is not liked by them and even less by his pilots. Here I wrote some lines for future aviators who want to join Susi Air after 2020: - THE MANAGEMENT IS ASKING CURRENT AND FORMER EMPLOYEES TO GIVE 5 STARS REVIEWS IN GLASSDOOR, SO DON'T TRUST ANY 5 STAR REVIEW AFTER 2020. ACTUALLY I WAS CONTACTED BY THE MANAGEMENT TO DO A 5 STAR REVIEW BUT I CONSIDERED UNFAIR AFTER ALL THAT IS GOING ON IN THE COMPANY. - The management is appointing relatives in the Susi Air administration. So be careful they have eyes and ears everywhere. - The Training department is upgrading pilots who stall airplanes in the simulator right after take off, even one new captain stalled an airplane in the ILS, the Training standards have lowered considerably since the new management took over the pilot training department. - You have to pay for all your caravan training, so is a Pay to fly scheme. the total cost is more than 8000 USD. - There is no maintenance for the airplanes, Susi Air is barely following the engine manufacture standards for engine maintenance. They force you to pass notes to maintenance in a separate paper instead of logging in the maintenance logbook. As well some of the maintenance stuff that they called themselves engineers doesn't have any license to work as an aircraft engineer. By the way they sometimes hire maintenance personnel from Facebook.... - The safety department is totally corrupted by the management. If you do a safety report you will be invited to leave the company immediately. - If you are not a friend of the administration your life as a pilot will be as hell. No holidays approval, random schedule changes during days off, and other types of nightmares. - One pilot resigned before starting his training and he was asked for his passport for "visa cancellation", but it was not true. The real story is he was forced to pay his training bond to recover his passport. - They are hiring pilots with doubtful logbooks from doggy countries. - If they give you an Indonesian pilot License you will be forced to give it back to the company. - They pay you in Indonesian rupiah at an unfair rate. The rate they pay you is 13,500 IDR while the correct rate is 16,240 IDR. - no health insurance - very shady work visa where you have to leave the country every year and need to give your passport to the "visas services guy" in a fast food restaurant. - All the pilots are leaving Susi Air to other aviation companies even a few resigned with no other job offer after suffering all I wrote before. - STAY AWAY FROM SUSI AIR !!!!
