Rottweiler,

You mentioned you had seen the training schedule for the 11/11 class. Any word yet on what a/c will be offered on the 11/25 class? Thanks,

Titan

Training schedules won't be out until nearly month end for December. If you are starting at the end of this month you may find that you won't start systems in December due to Christmas and New Year. Don't worry though because even if you get a break of 2-3 weeks until January you still get paid 75 hours a month

When I see something I'll let you know.

 

[Rottweiller]

Ok...would three to four years be long enough? Because that's how long it will likely be before many of us climb out of the hole...

They may (read probably) would ask you to resign seniority. It's their call. There are still quite a few pilots with 121, 135 experience who don't have furlough rights looking for a position.

The Oct 28 class has changed aircraft assignments. On Thurs morning everyone was told they were going to the Rj in ATL. Rumors are heavy they are getting ride of the Dork.

10/28 class

The fleet manager for the CRJ came into class this past Friday and said everyone was going to the CRJ in ATL.

 

[Menace]

redundant

Oh, sorry Jimbo, for some reason I didn't see your posting until after I sent mine.

It's late and I'm tired.
Also, I'll bet I can guess who you are in class.

The company has been trying to get rid of the 328's for some time but the problem was that the final ten had long term lease's and unless we could unload them all at once for more jets it wasn't worth it. I have two of my buddies in class with you guys now but it's important that you all work as a team to be successful. Lakers, forget that crap way of training you learned over there, Voss is not here and this company does care about it's pilots... All that said, welcome to AWAC.

Hey, Wiskey Driver since I am pretty sure you did not come from lakes and therefore would not know anything about their training then maybe you should not be telling these folks to forget about something you know nothing about.

I would say to all you Lakers, remember what you learned from lakes and approach your training here the same way and you will be very well prepared. One reason why this company likes lakers is because they are usually easily trained. Wiskey driver is correct about one thing the company will treat you well.

Vairiable Operations System Slowdown (I think that's what it was called) AWSOME....

 

[Wiskey Driver]

I only speak on things that I know about!!! Been there didn't stay went to TSA where the training was just as bad. Now for some more info for you since you seem to think that I am sooo uninformed on lakes. Several friends there now and several that I have helped get hired here, several in my class all say the same thing lakes training is the worst. Sure if you can get thru that BS you can make it anywhere and that's why AWAC likes them. Next time you feel like you want to challenge me in open forum make sure that you have all the facts...

OK, that's more along the lines of what I expected to hear.

For a second there I thought I detected some arrogance in your first reply to my question.

 

[discostu]

Trick, I wouldn't presume to CHALLENGE the likes of someone with so much experience and so proud of that 150, 152 time. However from what I hear maybe you didn't learn so much from your lakes experience and if you were there then you must not have made it... give the whole story.

someone that acts like they know as much as you usually doesn't.

Just my OPINION which hopefully I am entitled to just like you are entitled to your OPINION.

Peolple should be proud of where they came from and use their experiences to make the current job better.

The whole story, I left and went to Trans States with about six others. Something about not being paid while waiting on a checkride that had no seniority system to it kinda gets stuck in ones throat. Don't live with my parents man, got a wife and kids with bills to pay. The bank can care less of when the checkride is they still want to be paid on time. I am happy that you had such a great time and experience there, but if you liked it so much why are you here???

Looked at the original posting and it could be read as that. That was not my intention I assure you.

 

[Menace]

F/O,

just for the record. On the first or second day of class we were all given a letter addressed to our former employer that said we were resigning and giving up ALL rights to recall. They then took the letter (after we signed them) and mailed them directly to the chief pilots. I doubt they will make any deals, but who knows. They definitely want people here for a long time. They emphasize that throughout training. I'll tell ya too, this is a place where a lot of people will retire. It is that great of a place!

As for those of you who may be worrying about our study habits, don't. We're all doing fine in the class.

Discostu and Wiskey Driver

I agree with Whiskey Driver on this one. Lakes is a means to an end, we are happy to have you all here, just please don't bring the infamous or should I say notorious training philosophy along.

 

[Wiskey Driver]

I don't think we'll hear any more from him on this, he gets the point. BTW I will be in the crew room on thurs if you want to discuss this MAN to MAN!!!! I told you before I am not now nor have I ever been unapproachable to you or anyone else here. Oh and one more point, I checked no complaints in my file buddy.

Good day to you...

WD AKA TrickDaddy

 

[discostu]

no clue

You are for once correct tough guy, you will not hear from me any more about this one because you have missed the point and are clueless. Are you really that oblivious to think that just because nothing in your file means no complaints.

You proved another of my points though so thanks for that. If you never took a checkride at lakes you were never an employee.
So to talk like you have so much knowledge about it is absurd.

The only reason I made a post to begin with is that your arrogance became way to annoying to deal with.

Oh and why don't you quit complaining about being in the right seat, from what I hear you are not ever close to being ready to made the slide to the left.

Can't wait to see you in the Crew room mr. approachable MAN!!!

P.S. hope you haven't P.O.'d somebody from AWA?

 

[Wiskey Driver]

You are way too funny for words. Check third paragraph and learn to put together a sentence. I see ya thurs. Don't punk out either...

 

[45000BTU's]

I see ya thurs, Dont punk out either

Dude--Can I watch? It'll have to be after school though since I got something going on third period. But make it before 4pm cause mom's picking me up! I hate it when people "punk-out" don't you?


Children, Children---Can't we all just get along?

This is really disapointing to see. I have enjoyed the fact that the topics related to AirWis haven't turned this way.

Good Job.

This is the end all sign that an argument is lost. Critiquing someone's grammar and threatening to beat them up. How pathetic.

 

[Brett Hull]

Can i have one of your jobs when you two get fired for swinging your purses at each other?

 

[discostu]

Beechnut,

you are right I will try not to stoop to that level anymore.

and I will work on my grammer. (couldn't resist)

I see ya later (again I'm sorry)

[Wiskey Driver]

Oh no!!!! I don't know what I am going to do now, discoduck has put all of my business in the streets. OK OK I guess we all know now that I am a bad pilot no skills at all in fact everyone that I fly with has to take control of the a/c at one time or another during the flight. Most are afraid to leave to take a pee for fear that I am going to mess up soo bad that they are going to get violated or worse DIE!!! We all know that I was hired only because of affirmative action and not because of the 2000+tt and the year of 121 and the yr of 135 pic turbine I guess it's all over now, there will be no fight as I am going to resign now that I can't hold my head up in public anymore.

I sure hope that you are proud of yourself disco you ruined me, it's death to smoochy for me.

WD.

 

[cheezpilot]

.....Well.......anyway.....where were we? I have to agree with beechnut. I am very disappointed to see this on an AWAC message. Is it worth even talking about lakes at all?
