Regions Air????

[AV80R]

Archnemesis – yeah, that’s the word I was looking for. I knew it, I was just testing you!

...KT and ML should be there soon, hopefully..

Awesome! Can’t wait!

I THOUGHT I could get the PIC time here..

Well, sometimes things just don’t work out exactly we’d planned, time for plan B maybe? B as in Big Sky?

Don’t know much about BigSky but if they’ll take you to the left seat in 12 months or so, I’d say do it yesterday. If you start at the end of March 2007 and upgrade 12 months later, you might be interviewing at FedEx by March 2009, don’t wait –

Besides, it'll keep Jen busy recruiting new replacements and I know she just loves that!

Get~r~done!​

Ungh, that cab in MWA. You could beam it Star Trek style to any third world country and it would blend...all for a 9:00 overnight...minus 15 minutes on either side for the ride-I never liked that! I liked the folks there, but I got to say that there was gladness in my heart when the hotel's Suburban showed up to give us a ride instead of the wore out chevette wagon taxi...what a wretched p.o.s. it is! Straight from the suburbs of hell!

Man...I knew this day would come. I thought that it would come back when I was an FO at Corpex and our cities were up for rebid. The pilot group was great there and that was what made me enjoy most of my time. I had a Regions Air Saab driver check in for the jumpseat yesterday out of CLE. We gave him a ride down to ATL. Sounds like things have gone way down hill and he is headed to Exp Jet.

I know there are some people that have been at Corpex since 1999, hopefully that will find a good job out there.

EVERYONE there should be sending out resumes as fast as you guys can get them out. Best of Luck!

Friday is my last day! WooooHoooo!

Was that TD in the jumpseat?

What I found funny during one of my technical interviews was that the interviewer looked at my resume and said, and I quote, "You fly the 'A' model? Oh $hit !"

 

[BlackPilot628]

It was indeed TD.

 

[CopilotDoug]

COEX has been very accomodating. One of their female Captains came down to the broom closet and mentioned that she did the interviews up in CLE and that ANY Corpexers who needed a job would have their resumes shuffled to the top of the pile. She was cute too!

 

[Tram]

Yeh, gotta give it to the COEX guys.. I've had a few contact me already... It's nice to see the help..

Okay, so to answer the original "any 411 on Regions Air" question. When people find out where you work and offer to move your resume to the top of the stack at their outfit it probably isn't a good sign!

The Proof is in the Puddin'

The other night while I, the Prince, was sleeping in my 1000 thead count sheets and bed of roses; I slowly drifted off to sleep dreaming of 100 brunette virgins and cowboy-clad midgets when a vision came to me. It was about untold tails from the past and present...
...Corpex's growth rev from pax flt ops and government subsidies for 2004 (22.5 M) and 2005 (21.9 M).
...in 2001 and 2003, the company actually officially posted a profit. (but the pay freeze is still chilly)
...annual lease expense on the 340A in '06 was 600k, while projected between '07-'10 to be $1,014,000/year. Compare that with DOT grants totaling $880,000/year for 3 cities. (Awesome, now how do I highlight that red as it should be)
...May '06, J-CO (the actually owners of the J32s) wanted $7.4M paid to them seeing that the company has not paid them from 9/01-5/06. Fred and Doug (who actually deserve some sort of award for being 'Used Car Salesmen of the Year') actually got out of the debt by offering 8-10% in Corpex stock to J-CO which accepted it.
...the most recent bank switch concerning our pay checks is actually another spineless way to get out of paying the owners of the one remaining Saab, who have an automatic withdrawl set up to be paid from the company's old bank account.

Absolutely embarrassed to work here. Oh wait, what's that I hear coming...it's the ATTRITION TRAIN and it's making a pit-stop in white trash mqy! Choo-Choo, get on board!!!
Akeem has spoken...shhhhh

Hmmm, my main concern here is - exactly why does Corpex come to your mind when you’re thinking of 100 brunette virgins? Am I missing something here?

Also, did my explanation on your Airtran thread make sense to you? Princess – I’m worried about you!

Don't be envyous of my superior German genetics, rapist wit and fantastic hair! My track record speaks for itself (and you know what I mean!). So when you are done waving white flags at other countries and sucking on Ricola herbal mints, give me a buzz and we'll do lunch (you know where)!

 

[CopilotDoug]

It's priceless when your CEO has to send out a company wide memo to dispell the rumor of his forced resignation! Can it get anymore dysfunctional? You bet!

New theory on who is buying Regions: Northwest Airlines

Reasoning: Regions is already saddled with a couple million dollars in debt. Northwest will come in, take ownership, offload its hundreds of millions of dollars in debt onto Regions. It will clean the books up for NWA and leave Caldwell with a sore behind and scratching his head. I am sure Caldwell would figure out a way to transfer the hundreds of millions of dollars in debt to a local Children's Orphanage, all the while finnagling another partially airworthy J-32 out of BAE in order to keep the company floating for a few more weeks. Anybody else happen to notice the Company Organization Chart for Regions is outlined with a Septic Tank?

 

[Tram]

Why would Northwest want our 121 certificate... They obviously have their own..

Northwest airlines.. Riiiiiight..

I never heard that rumor until the memo came out.
