AIN on Avantair

[hangarrat]

Anybody that goes to work for an aviation company expecting to see a dime from any profit sharing plan is an idiot.

Like the guys at Southwest when it was a start up, right? what a bunch of losers those guys were.

on the other hand, depending on your definition of "expecting" you may have a point. I wouldn't take a loan out against a profit sharing check that i didnt have in my hand any more than I would leave a current aviation job for some other company that said they were going to get a big shiny plane one day and I might be able to fly it.

So....you are telling the world that you got several Profit-Sharing checks....yet you guys have never made a Profit? OK.....I'll step back and let this one simmer....LOLOLOL

I did receive several profit sharing checks in my first couple years here. If hazmat was here for 6 years as a pilot then he got several of them too. They were discontinued about the time Avantair became a publicly traded company. My guess is it had to do with the difference in the way that public companies are required to report the finances. I am betting the CEO has a plan. Watching the financials, I would say that it may not be long now. In the mean time, I get a check every pay day and am fortunate enough to not have to worry about a furlough, I fly a great aircraft, I enjoy the passengers and crew I fly with and most of the overnight locations.

As posted on another thread:


So Flame On BTSI, if thats what makes you happy.

btw, i didnt look up the dictionary term, i figure its on FlightInfo so it has to be right :laugh:

God, I really despise fueling BTDI. HR, you are not quite correct on the profit sharing in the beginning. There were annual bonuses of $3000 per year, but they were discontinued when the payscale was adjusted in '06. BTDI, 5th year FO pay is $48k. If you are going to slam us, at least use the correct data.

I got no paperwork from back then to prove it but I am pretty sure they were called Profit Sharing early on. The last check we recieved before we went public in 2006 was called a Pilot Bonus, I think that was because no other department but pilots got one.

I could be wrong, point is, there was a bonus and we are told there will be one again. I am good with that. Things keep getting better here and in this economy, I think we are the lucky ones.

OK...you 2 Avantair pilots are now disagreeing with each other on whether or not you get Profit-Sharing Checks. My work is done here....LOL.

Wow dude, you really are an A$$. I am guessing that CorpFlunkie, HangarRat and many others will not disagree to that.

Glad your work is done. Now go away.
