Culture & Communication

You need to have the right attitude in order to be a good fit. We do not believe in hierarchical, complex reporting structures. At CRAFT, the DOM is expected to be in direct communication with the pilots and to be hands-on with the day-to-day functions of the operation. This is not a cushy desk job.
