God doesn't this story remind me of the bitch at Wanco in ASH.

Linda Wachner was the CEO of Warnaco.

Wachner was referred to as "Tha Dragon Lady". Most of her verbage contained fire...

Never fly an airplane that you can stand up in the baggage.

Never fly an airplane you can't walk under.

I remember her getting on the plane and turning to the Captain and saying, "are you a Fing ahole too?"
He says, "I'm fing ahole one." jerks his hand to the other guy "thats fing ahole two."
So she fires him on the spot. He shrugs walks off the plane. He didn't even get to the parkinglot when they ran to rehire him because she found out they couldn't go without him.

Priceless.

PS somebody pull Jeff out of the sun. Or at least reinstate him on NBAA airmail so we can watch his ramblings there.

Nice! Should have demaned a 10% pay raise before he went back!

LOL, I've personally seen a crew on that plane land and told to be ready for an 0430 departure, resulting with the crew sleeping on the plane, bcuz someone wanted to play golf in AZ...I feel for those guys.

I guess this is why I personally never want to fly any of the big g's, I just don't love money enough to have that lifestyle. Nice airplane, nice check, not worth it.

I've seen that airplane make 3 roundtrips to Europe in a week with the same crew. This includes the 2-3 legs a day you will fly, hop, skipping around Germany, France and the UK while you are over there. I don't feel for those guys because I know firsthand what it's like. They need to move on as I did before a CFIT situation occurs due to fatigue.

Tell us more about flying this Queen Wachner out of Nashua. We need to expose more aviation "dictators" in this business. I've got a list......

If I can save one person some of the grief I was exposed to in this business, I'll feel some vindication. I surely wish someone would of gotten the word to me.

I wanted to fly a G one day

I know this will sound a little stupid of me but when I saw the movie "The Devil Wears Prada" I thought that was mostly a fictional character.

After reading this series makes me happy in my King Air pt91 (I can stand in my baggage and walk under it---just not all points of the belly), and makes me a little nervous of that feeling to want to fly the large g's and falcon's later on in my career after the children leave the nest.

BUT size of plane doesn't mater because I got a buddy flying Beechjet and averages gobbs of RON’s a month. First problem I see is his boss is single so there is no anchor. Kid you not. He told me yesterday: they spent 4 days in Vegas, 3 in San Diego and they where going to Jackson Hole for 3 more before he came home!!!!



Whether you are flying or gone folks, we brought this reality way back when we got our commercial flying license....the realization didn't hit us until now.

I'll name one if you go first! My witch lives in the Northwest.

 

[psysicx]

So is this Linda chick still rich or just another broke CEO?

 

[StaticWick]

So are we just going to flame the chicks? what about those typ "A" business men?

 

[Raskal]

Uh, no. All the dictators in my flying world are men, with only one crazy chick who likes to complain about how hard it is to eat kosher in switzerland

 

[sydeseet]

Alright, I'll go.

Patricia Cornwell, the author. Used the fly her on charter. She is one of those types that forgot that she was born just as ordinary as the rest of us. I refuse to read any of her books, even several years later, won't give her one penny. Even if it would help her buy the Mach 3 Turbo blade that she needs.

As far as A-hole fella's go, they all just blur together into one miserable bunch of "thank goodness I don't have to fly them everyday types."

Thats funny! I flew her years ago in charter. What a serious C-U-N-T.

 

[CarjCapt]

In the last 36 hours I have flown 12+10 RJAA to KSJC. We sat on the ground 30 minutes, then flew 3+15 to New Orleans. Then the onwers wife realize she forgot a hand bag in Tokyo, so we have to fill up and head back to RJAA .. 13+39. A break? Yes - we rest 5 hours then do RJAA to KNEW. 13+45

This is what my life has come to. Amazing. What did I ever do to deserve this? Well, got to run. We have a 0415 departure to EGPH...

Jeff,

You have got to be kidding me. Have you forgotten:

"Life is too short and death way to long"

 

[TGTVS]

This GVJeff is not the Jeff Beck, Gulfstream contract pilot, that so many people know. Please don't confuse GVJeff with my friend. Jeff Beck would not do a flight like this. In fact, there are not many operators or pilots who would do such a flight.

Flew with a guy that did contract there,storys are all true according to him.
She had to give up the airplane a while back.
Cheers

 

[GVPILOT]

Here's my theory, everything is bull. The flight times just don't jive, a test run I just did of the route RJAA - KSJC at M0.80 gave 10:28 or as he likes to put it 10+08, zero wind, as opposed to 12+10.

And did anyone notice that not once did he come back to comment on anything?

Go figure!

A troll is a troll is a troll.

Hey, some of us Trolls aren't too bad...but the imposters are full of sh&% !
