How can I secure the best contract offer?
Some pilots right now are finding themselves in the attractive position where they have 3 or 4 offers to consider as they look for the next step in their career. Ensuring you have your priorities in order, careful consideration of the pros and cons, and having a pilot staffing agency to do the groundwork on the company and offer are key to making the right choice.
