I was a check airman there, but when I left there were two. RW was the only all checks(on the 580 and 240), and JB was a line check airman on the 580. JZ was a check airman but he bailed not long after they got him requalified. Rumor is Bruno asked for more OE, but RW and the Rudes told him to "suck it up" because he wasn't going to get it. It has also been said Mike Gelwick was in the room when they told him that..... Now that's a disturbing thought.

RW should have been stripped of being a check airman(and chief pilot for that matter) a LONG time ago. I can remember getting new hires from him, who had been signed off from OE, that were NOT ready to be loose on the line. Not to mention these people had reduced OE time!! I even told RW one day, per the company training manual, you couldn't do that to new hires! But they always got away with that, as they got away with giving Bruno none. Now they see where it gets them.

Has anybody been able to find the entire transcripts of the crash yet?
 
If this captain asked for more IOE and was refused, who's more liable? Him or NR, BR and RW? AND how are he and RW still flying the line after a great man was killed?

This is going to keep happening until they can't get pilots, or buisness.
What if we boycott DHL, tell our friends to do the same, and then send a message to DHL letting them know that operators like this just aren't acceptable.

This would be a very good idea
 
Does DHL or Fedex have any idea of what Tahoma pilots and mechanics are forced to do? Are they concerned about their liability?
 
I believe there is man by the name of Rob Mcandrew that works for fedex that needs to know about this thread. does anyone have his information.
 
FedEx will send air tahoma to davie jonses locker soon enough!!

What will air tahoma do with no DHL or FedEx contracts??

What ever happened to the other four airplanes Noel Rude, who honks on bobo, said were comming??

Did canceled contracts cancel them too??

This is quite bothersome to know that FED EX would let this type of crap happen.

Bud and his dud spud will be caught with their puds when Fred shreds (the contract)before more Tahoma pilots are dead.

any update on the alzheimers of B rude. i wonder when the FAA will step in.

The FAA WILL NOT STEP IN! Their POI should be re-titled their POE because he is their PRINCIPAL OPERATING ENABLER. He is a good ol' boy from another cargo carrier who is trying to get another pension. He will do nothing, the Air Tahoma pilots will do nothing and the Rudes will continue making a boatload of money.
 
Feathersword, you are a funny mutha.

"...honks on bobo..."

...classic!
