Sats reviews

Been 10 years in flight ops and did every single thing in flight ops, from flight dispatch, remote dispatch, flight watch, and crewing. Your Annual leave starts at 12 days for the first 5 years and will only increase to max of 15 days after 5 years. Roster is really bad. Fake off and rest day, meaning you coming in midnight shift after your so called off/rest day. Currently you have to work 6 days shorter hours per week for every month due to no manpower. No travel incentive. Best to work directly under an airline, at the minimum you would still have staff travel incentives aka flight tickets.

* Reporting officers are given all the say in the annual / semi-annual appraisal exercise. They can write whatever they wish. There is no feedback given about performance and supervisors do not display any leadership or provide guidance. My appraisal session took place after the bonus was already given and I had to request for a discussion. I have seen my supervisor behave unprofessionally (including screaming, shouting, making personal remarks) with my colleagues on numerous occasions. My reporting officer's sense of insecurity prevented my career development in SATS. * The human capital (HC) department in SATS is in cahoots with such managers. Despite constant turnover and previous feedback, they never took an interest in my department. In fact, when I raised an issue over the unprofessional behaviour of my manager, I was told that he/she has a personality that doesn't like to be challenged.
