The job is the base,
not the airline.
Rating an airline as one company is useless. CrewReport rates the actual job — carrier, base, rank, fleet and contract type — from people who have flown it. Ratings and peer benchmarks, what it really pays, the seven things crew ask each other before they sign, and a feed where they are already asking.
Reviews come from verified crew, under credentials we sign without being able to read them, so nothing we store pairs a review with the address that earned it — no shared column, no shared key. That is narrower than “we could never work it out”, and the difference matters. What that does and does not cover.

Rated by base, not by carrier
The same airline is a different job in Dubai than on a European base, direct-hire than through an agency, widebody than narrowbody. Every rating here is scoped to the actual job.
Verified crew only
Every review comes from someone who verified an airline work address. We sign the credential without being able to read it, so nothing we store pairs a review with the address that earned it.
Measured against the market, not in isolation
Every carrier is scored across ten categories and set against the median of its regional peers, so a rating tells you whether an employer is actually better than the alternatives you have.
Nothing publishes on one person's say-so
Scores, pay bands and every crew-reported figure stay suppressed until enough separate people have answered to publish one. That holds on a carrier's own dashboard as much as on its public page.
What is actually on here
One corpus, read nine ways. All of it is free to crew — every section below opens for a year each time you contribute one review, one pay report or one crew report.
The carrier directory
Every airline in the catalogue, scored across ten categories by the crew who fly for it — with the headline score withheld until enough of them have rated it to publish one.
Browse airlinesThe network, on a map
Every carrier and every crew base on one globe. Filter by region, fleet, contract and pay band, and read the corpus by where the job is rather than by whose name is on the tail.
Explore the networkOffers, side by side
Up to four carriers in one table — categories, pay, package and what crew report about each — for the point where you are actually choosing between them rather than browsing.
Compare carriersCrew bases
A carrier page says what an airline is like. A base page says what it is like to fly out of one place: who crews it, what it pays there, what that survives tax and the cost of living, and what the roster does.
See the basesWhat it actually pays
Basic, flight pay, per diems and allowances, reported by crew and normalised to one currency at the rate on the day — with the package split out, because a large-looking number is often mostly housing.
Open the pay explorerSeven crew reports
The things no airline publishes: whether they are really recruiting, what the roster does, how long the command takes, what the type rating cost and what bond came with it, what the selection was, what the layovers are, and what crew make of the aircraft.
File a crew reportA feed that runs all day
Posts from verified crew in topical channels and one room per carrier, ranked by how much a thread is moving against how recent it is. Screened for names before anything publishes.
Open the feedVacancies, next to the evidence
Adverts from carriers that have claimed their profile, each rendered beside that carrier's own ratings and crew-reported pay for the exact rank being advertised — plus who crew inside say is hiring.
See the job boardThe industry matrix
Every scored carrier against its regional peer set, category by category, in one table — so a four is readable as better or worse than the alternatives instead of as a number on its own.

Ten questions, each rated one to five, plus an overall score and what the job is actually like in the reviewer’s own words.

Benefits package
Pension, medical, loss of licence, leave, staff travel — how good is the non-cash half?

Did progression match what you were told at joining?
Commuting policy
How workable was commuting from where you actually live?

Post one review, read everything for a year.
This site only works because crew tell each other the truth. Write one review about a base you have flown — or file one pay report, or one crew report — and every figure on the site opens for twelve months. Reading, reviewing and reporting are free, and stay free.
If you are the airline being reviewed.
Claim your profile and reply on the record, one reply per review. An Employer account adds sentiment by base and by subject, comparison against the carriers you lose crew to, vacancies, campaigns and a seat for each colleague. It never lets you edit, reorder or remove a score — which is the only reason the ratings beside your advert are worth anything.
