A Call To Family Airlines - Scam Warning Warning

[NuGuy]

Heyas.

Back in the day, Trade a Plane was littered with these kinds of ads.

TAP finally did the right thing and banned these sorts of ads. Of course, there were way more "pilot's wanted/jobs wanted" in TAP back in the pre-internet days.

Nu

 

[say again]

How can I get my fifty bucks back...

Anyone who sent the money doesn't deserve to get it back. hahaha

I stopped by their office yesterday. They have a small office in a multi-office complex. On the outside of the building was a 6' vinyl banner with the names of 3 companies:

One was for Family Airlines: 747s coast to coast.

One was for Mini Care (they have an ad banner on the Family Airlines website). Interestingly, Barry Michaels is listed as the CEO of Family Airlines and the President of Minicare, and Stephen Leseten is listed as the Corporate Controller for both Family Airlines and MiniCare on their websites.

And I don't remember the name of the third company. I will have to go back next week and take some pictures and talk to somebody in the office.

For any pilots out there that paid for the application fee, if you paid via Paypal, you can demand a refund. If they refuse to give a refund, you can complain to Paypal that they are operating a scam and they can freeze the funds in Family Airline's account, possibly get your money back, and cause all types of troubles for them.

Lets do it via FI...get 50 yahoos to donate a dollar, send it in and demand the money back

But, what if they turn out legit? You guys will miss out on what will probably be your only chance to fly a 747. Sounds to me like a potentially good return on $50.

Brown , do you really think there is the slightest chance of things being legit here? Honestly, please don't tell us all you think so after everything that has been posted here. You are amazing me dude!!!!
If the place turns out to be legit and you get on the line flying a 747 I'll personally give you a $50 bill as a refund on your application fee....... (which is a pretty big deal for me right now being furloughed)
Don't answer those emails saying you might be able to help with the transfer of funds of deceased millionaires either they too are not legit....
just in case you ever wondered.

You really need a thread on this? Anyone who though this was real is a dufus.

HMMM, I wonder why they disabled the ability for us to leave comments there..... looks like an exciting place to work for ....did you see the size of their dispatch center? It looked almost as big as an ATC facility!

I think Capt Dan was standing on something during his pitch for Family airlines because he looks a lot shorter here.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QCLYYMqRtR8&NR=1

I guess those rudder pedal adjustments come along way back in the 74-400....

But in that one, you can leave comments. What is so funny, is that that user "Familyair" who posted the video, posted comments to himself. But actually he did it once under another name, then posted the exact same comment under a different name too.

hope that flights start soon. I will definitely being going to Vegas from Orlando for only $69! Expect the major to match your prices and try to put you out of business, so make sure you market the airline well. All in all I think your fare structure is great along with the inovative ways to produce income.

I discovered the ability to leave a comment on the non capt video.. after starting my post and then got to lazy to edit it.... I did take the time to post the question if they were for real. I'll have to ask why they are posting to their own video too... I guess I scanned it too fast to notice. Nice catch on that!

What kind of souvenirs are they going to sell?

Captain Dan looks like he's wearing a UAL hat pin. I had to dust mine off but it sure looks identical.
