Martinair buys Superior...is this true?

[FN FAL]

Is this a good or bad thing for either company or the pilots?

 

[skybert]

It's true. I don't fly for either of them so I can't give any details.

first midatlantic, then union flights and now superior...wonder whats left

...although i was wrong on one count, the CP finally convinced the higher ups to increase the wages a bit

 

[pilotyip]

Probably true, one of our former pilots went back to his old job at Superior, but he said he would flying for Martinair

 

[wingnutt]

dam...USA jet that bad? the van only pays about 2 grand a month...

 

[Nolife]

Wingnut... did you used to work for MRA circa 2002-2003?

 

[wingnutt]

haha...i was around then, but not a full time guy at the time.

and you?

 

[Nolife]

Yes... I too served time there... actually I enjoyed it other than the low pay, which I knew about going in, and the few threats from AR. You wouldn't be MH by the way.

This is very bad for superior guys, last time they bought Mid-Atlantic freight not only did they screw a bounch of the pilots from MAF, but they also lost just about all of the MAF guys within a couple of months.

I'm sure doosh bag chief pilot at martinaire will find a way to make all the superior guys feel "welcomed"....MAN I HATE THAT LOSER!

 

[NtheNo]

Yep ...

I bet that's because he fired you ...

 

[wingnutt]

...i will not confirm nor deny the above rumor at this time

 

[NtheNo]

It's not a rumor

Martinaire bought Superior on October 18th 2006.
That's 100% fact. If you don't believe it, try getting ahold of
someone at Superior and see if they're still hiring.

Guess again numb nuts

wasnt referring to that rumor...that one was a rumor long before the union flights buyout...no suprises there at all

Guess again numb nuts

now thats the rumor i was referring to. and while it may not have been an official firing...can you deny your ass was on the chopping block??? :smash:

 

[kingairyahoo]

Guess again numb nuts

Hahahaha...youre right, you werent fired!!!

But then again, he refused to hire you because of your "stellar" track record at MDC...so in a way, isnt that worse???

Hey Flybet3

Hey Flybet,

Remember when you took off with the severed elevator cables and didn't tell anyone? Only a complete idiot would do that twice in less than 12 hours.

Had you killed yourself, maybe you'd have qualified for a Darwin award.

You walked away from your Cedar Rapids route and Butch Baxter warned
MRA about you.

When MRA took over MAF you were not even on the their payroll anmore!

That's why you never got taken over like the rest of their pilots.

BTW no former MAF pilot ever got fired from Martinaire and the senior
MAF guys are still around.
