Great Communication and Fair Pilot Pay
I’ve had a very positive experience working with RAAD as a drone pilot. One thing that really stands out is how they treat and compensate their pilots. From my experience, a significant portion of the project pay goes directly to the pilot, which shows that they genuinely value the people out in the field completing the work. Compared with other drone networks I’ve worked with, including FlyGuys, I’ve felt that RAAD puts more emphasis on taking care of its pilots. Their communication is also excellent. They stay in contact with me consistently, often checking in every day during active projects to make sure everything is good to go and that I have what I need. I never feel like I’m left wondering what’s happening with a project. There are still a couple of areas that could improve. Payments can take some time to come through, so I’d like to see a faster and more consistent payment process. The website/platform could also use some additional tweaking, particularly when it comes to selecting available jobs and uploading completed project files. Overall, I’ve really enjoyed working with RAAD. The strong communication, fair pilot compensation, and the way they treat their pilots are the biggest positives for me. With some improvements to payment speed and the platform, the experience would be even better.
