Air Flamenco

[ACT700]

My best friend used to fly for Air Flamenco. He was killed in a crash off the northern coast of Puerto Rico September 29, 2004. His name was Gamalier Rivera and he was twenty-nine years old. Before he died he told me some horror stories about how there usually was no place to check the weather and the usual pressure from the company to go regardless of weather, fatigue, or any thing else. I don't have a very high opinion of that outfit based on what he told me. But like most of us who were/are just starting out with our first job, we don't want to piss the bosses off so we go even though we sometimes know we shouldn't. Point is, you/we/I can get killed in a plane crash if we do things we shouldn't and to hell with what the bosses think. A quick phone call to the FAA will take care of most of these kinds of problems. If Gamo had done that, he might still be alive to fly another day.[/quote]


Yeah, that would have done the trick, because the FAA is here to help.

To be young and naiive again...
