I heard that 8 guys on medical leave from FLOPS, just received letters of Termination today! Nice management we now have.

Oh and more good news "Special Ed" is now a ground instructor. The company thought that this "Of good moral character" needs to teach ground school. For those of you who don't know Special Ed, he sucked an big Red Engine cover and lied to the company about it, and flew live trips and then turned the airplane over to another crew.

Nice Job Guys.

wait a minute... how do you "suck a red engine-cover" and still fly live legs??? wouldn't that flame out the engine?
 
Same $hit different management team. Meet the new and improved we love you now work for less because were great people. Vote NO.
 
Well, if it was a BeechJet plug type engine cover, after the engine shoots a 20 foot fireball out the back :-) , you could jump out, climb up on the wing to fish the cover out of the engine inlet, and then climb back in the airplane, restart the engine and away you go... How's that?

If this is true, you can only vote NO.
 
How about the check airman that was hired as a captain that was a special friend even though he only had fo seniority who had a eec on the engine that would fail continuously and decided to take off with a citation 3 out of Aspen in summer and the engine rolled back at rotation..

Anyone that has flown a 3 knows that is a scary ride with both power levers stuck through the panel on a good day..

Or Another check airman that was friends of county that would bust more than 50% of the guys he did rides with just to prove he knew more even though he decided to take off in a Citation X with contamination on purpose.

Both examples of pilots that should have been canned that were friends of ed,tim,ron,ken,mike,joe etc....

Didn't see anything on the union board about this. No statement form the union MEC?

Any more information would be appreciated.

Nice.
"I heard" means about as much as "the latest gossip is..." or "my girlfriend told me that her brother's buddy...".
Come on, don't you think you should deal with facts only if you are trying to make a profound statement about your position on a sensitive matter like this?
Geeze, man!!!

You're have better taste than this. The topic was brought up almost 10 day ago and this is what you have to say?

Dime-

It's been 10 days since you posted this, and the seniority list hasn't moved.

I've questioned this practice in the past and found it is required.
After 6 months of medical leave, the employee must be terminated to recieve long term disability insurance. A couple of guys I know who went through this, got their medicals back and were rehired at the same senoirity number. ( at Flexjet)

That is not the context that these people were fired. Just so everybody knows they were rehired a couple of days later.

I only did this topic to show how B19 and other cronies work. Fire first and think about it later, then rehire back. FLOPS did this with the 70, and the hostages.

There is no loyality toward companies anymore, because of crap like this.
 
Management didn this where they could get away with it, to keep these pilots from having their medical LOA's extended via the contract. Its that simple.

It just shows how fast this management can affect all of our lives. Just one letter and those pilots families lives changed.
 
When a crew couldn't make a departure in IMC from a high altitude airport, Special Ed tried to get this crew to fly by granting them a one-time waiver for relief from the second segment climb requirements!

What an amazing man he must be to have such authority!:rolleyes:

Nice leave it to special ed.

One of our "other, scab type" checkairmen "2nd hand info" flew a BeechJet from Aspen to New York nonstop. The story goes, the Cleveland Controller(old FLOPS scheduler) called BJ Program Manger and asked if this could be done, and program mgr said no, controller said its happening now. This was swept under the rug.

Ya gotta love mgmt taking care of their own.
 
I am glad this is public information, I might forward this info to my former 91 employer.
We were all laid off when that department closed after many years in business, so they could go with FLOPS.
Will try my best to explain Special Ed and Second Segment to non pilot CEOs, but they will get my drift.

Thanks Guys.
