Air Tahoma Facts

[BTSOMT]

I also heard from one of their mechanics that they blew an engine on a 580 a year ago and collected the full insurance payout to have the engine rebuilt (approx $150k, from the Throne Insurance agency in Seattle WA), but actually had it done by Lee Holly's friend at Miami Turbines for the cost of parts (closer to $35k). If that's true, NR and all the roto-ruders made a little over a hundred thousand for one of their pilots losing one in the air. Way to go guys!!!

I bet the John Throne company would love to hear about that!

Fact: Noel Rude is NOT a pilot, or has ever been one. He is a bean counter that knows to talk a good talk.

It is my opinion that he does not know how to "talk the talk" and the only way he can talk is if daddy is holding his hand 24/7.

ATI is no longer on the US Air jumpseat list for both mainline and express.

Sorry that a bad company is causing the pilot's to suffer.

I'm sure the "Scare Tahoma" pilots who are forced to jumpseat to reposition so their company doesn't have to buy them tickets will thank you for that!

Isnt this called insurance fraud. correct me if i am completely wrong.

 

[BTSOMT]

Is that "fraud"?

What ever happened to Lee Holley taking the compressor sections of a scrapped L-188 and cv-580, mating them to half timed out turbines, then putting them on airplanes??

Air Tahoma is not a authorized engine shop for christ's sakes!!

Bud Rude, who honks bobo, once said "my engine test cell is on our airplanes"!!

How are Lee Holley and Gene Contor able to get away with this??

One of two ways. Either the FAA doesn't know or doesn't care. Don't ask, don't tell policy between good ol' boys (BR and the POI).

Stanton Woodbury seems to do nothing!!

Must be a money arangement??

 

[Tahomos]

He's an enabler. Saving his own hiney until he can retire soon.

 

[Feathersword]

Seems me maties at the DET FSDO are doing nothing!!

They are about as useless as the barnicle on the HMS Feathersword!!

Wonder if they see these internet messages in a bottle??

That is THE question. How many more Tahoma pilots have to end up in smoking holes before something is done to improve things?

I hear a couple mechanics there are putting together a pretty good case for possible fraud and potential violations. It should be funny when they decide to come forward with what they've got. They have the rood people fooled. They act like company guys!
