Weren't you top 5 seniority when YOU got fired?? Just saying, it must not have been that bad.

BTW my monies on Kamikaize--he's gotta have like 125 #s on you!

125#'s What the hell is that supposed to mean? And with 6000 hrs total and he's still flying there? Gee, I wonder why he can't get out. No I wasn't top 5(although I was close.) You can only handle getting treated like garbage for so long until you get fed up. I just had a high tolerance for it that's all.

It was a ferry flight in vfr conditions. Also having left there looking from the outside in I see how lousy that company is. TW could care less about you or anyone else there. Nice of you to get personal about it.You could have been an adult and just refute my points. Also I'm glad your a perfect pilot and have never made a bad decision or screwerd something up. You keep drinking the kool-aid. I'm on to bigger and better things. At least my career is going somewhere. Also with a profitable carrier. Maybe you can stand being lied to all of the time. I just got fed up.Leaving that hole was the best thing that ever happened to me. I am truly glad it happened.

First of all it is nothing personal, and gee I thought I was being adult about this by merely pointing out your hypocrisy, my bad!

Second a ferry flight in VFR? With no DMI no ferry permit and VFR Laredo to where? Above 180 is still IFR. Had it been Detroit to YIP or Dallas to Addison it might be a little easier to accept but not legal. So dispense with the smoke and mirrors and just accept the fact that you were a pirate it’s ok.

I am not defending AJI I have no idea of what might or might not have been done to you or others I am only pointing out a double standard of not walking the talk. Of all the many pilots I have seen go through AJI I can only recall a few that I feel can legitimately go on a forum and literally trash the company. So if JE over at air whiskey and Richard in Topeka and a couple of others want to express there opinions I will support them 100% because they earned the right.

If this makes me a kool-aid drinker cherry is my favorite flavor.

I am truly glad life is better for you at Omni, I turned them down in ’02 it was just not for me, I guess The Pirates Life For Me!

The Gringo!
 
Oh please dont hurt me tuff guy!! I have 4 months left until im out of contract and then ill be leaving because I want to not by getting fired after working here for 5 years. Just think if you could of kept your mouth shut you would be a 9 Cpt enjoying being home all the time. Omni blows and you know it. I dont have a problem with people bashing AJI because they give us alot of reasons too. It just seems like all you do is talk crap.If it was so bad then why did you work here for so long before getting fired? As far as our fuel situation goes. I said that it was your choice to fly to ads with that much fuel not dispatch's and I was the one that said we should land at rbd. We all make mistakes but you act like you are better than everyone else.
 
Wow, kamikaze you are truly the intellect? You think Omni blows more than Ameristar? How many furloughed airline pilots and some airline Captains from Legacy carriers have come to Ameristar? I only know of one DC-9 guy whom was an FO for less then two years at NWA, and I bet he is glad to be back at NWA. I have met many from Omni. So whens the fight fellas?

Kamikaizi you definitely got something against Stupidpilot.

Anyway, is it not common practice at AJI to "Push Fuel" and in return get rewarded by good trips? Land with 1500#'s or less.

"Flight Followers" who act like 121 dispatchers and "DICTATE" your fuel cuz mangement wants them to. They argue with you if you want a lil' extra gas. Always undermining your decisions as PIC.

As far as maintenance it gets "pencil whipped" often. (Don't it!)

There is no comparison btw Omni & AJI.....But since you said to fact that "Omni blows" I want to know what's so bad about it?

Good Luck in your future endeavors after your contract.
 
Hey Bengal,

As you can see there are some pretty strong opinions out there. I have bad stuff to say about the company. Notice how I didn't say anything bad about the pilot group. Some of these guys when they disagree with you they can't refute you in a logical manner they resort to demonizing you. I was there for a while, it did some good things for me and some bad. Good decisions and bad decisions. Nobody's perfect. Hindsight is always 20/20 and sometimes you look back wondering why you did something so dumb. I have the benefit of having been there, and now I'm on the outside looking in and see some bad things I didn't see while I worked there. Overall the guys that work there are pretty cool. You just have a few like those guys that go ballistic when you have something negative to say about the place they work. So go in with open eyes and watch your back because apparently you gotta watch for who's sticking a knife in it.
 
you guys should just settle this like freight dogs. meet at the bar, who ever passes out first loses.
 
Matt I never had a problem with you while you were here we flew together alot and I was as much to blame that day as you were. The problem I have with you now is that you are always bashing AJI after you worked here for so long before you left. It makes all of us guys still here look bad when you constantly talk crap about this company and the things that go on here. If you were a future employer and had read the posts about AJI, would you hire a guy that worked there? If someone wants info on the company tell them in private like the rest of us do. As far as my Omni blast I dont know much about it except for what i hear from a few guys that work there. they work as much as we do and make alot less than we do for the first few yrs. You have said alot of bad stuff about them in other posts on this board and I was just proving a point that you always have something negative to say about everything. Im done arguing with you over this. Migliore di fortuna a lei nel futuro e vola la cassaforte!!!

OK truce. Although I think employers are aware of the difference between the employer and pilot group. They are aware that your just building time and that there are operators out there that will try to bend/skirt the rules if it benefits them. Most of them have been there done that and know the score. Omni's pay for FO is lousy thats true. Base is the same as capt pay @ AJI. The Capt pay isn't too bad though. It's pretty easy to break 6 figures. And upgrades are fast if you keep your nose clean. A capt @ Omni makes quite a bit more than capt @ AJI. And your building heavy Intl time which is exactly what the big boys are looking for. Thats the way career progression goes for us. One step forward and two back to get what you need. I really like this company. I feel like I get treated pretty well and the pilot group is a great bunch of folks. Like any privately owned charter company they try to maximize profit at the expense of their employees. So many policies are geared toward the companies benefit. So hang in there brother, build your time & split.

Merry Christmas
