Thanks for telling all of us you jerk off, or your boyfriend jerks you off. Either way no none cares about your social life.

 

[flying_gringo]

thank you Nightflight... you provide me with a prime example of the folks that have no place in a cockpit.

simmer down and relax dude... I hope your not this easily set off in flight... or your ill placed anger and ego will lead your way into the hillside one night.

let us hope your alone.

Gringo,


I think we have all heard enough of what you have to say, and I agree with the other user who stated that "you speak in order to hear yourself talk". My goodness, you sound like a guy we used to have at "Ameriscare" back in the day.

In all of your 121 gripes about lazy pilots, I'm assuming you advised dispatch to never file your flight plans, and/or give you the weather/notam info?

Also, if it was such a good experience with great pay, why aren't you still there? You found something better didn't you? Just like the rest of us. I did my time there, was never written up by dispatch, never had any problems whatsoever, and I feel I have the right to complain about the company after seeing what a first class operation is all about. Not to mention having a life again, versus the 10 day on the road schedule. The 135 life is for some people, but for others it's not. For those who don't have a care for it, leave them be. Our lives are our own business, not yours.

Oh yea, I agree with the captain upgrade based on merrit, skill, and etc...
I hate flying with guys who scare the hell out of everyone. Oh yea..........flew with a bunch of those at AJI.

135fr8r-

I left for better money, better equipment, and more time off - but for a low time guy it was a great introduction to jets - and a golden opportunity as far as pay. I get tired of all the Ameristar and part 135 bashing...they tell you the pay and schedule up front - you take the job or you don't... its not forced upon you. it was a good job - and I feel I came out a better pilot because of it.

and like all ameristar pilots - sure I took the flight plans when we got 'em... but if dispatch was busy I wasn't afraid to file myself. I do it now flying a challenger - most corporate guys I know do their own flight planning.

I think this horse is dead and beaten. I'm going back to the bar.

Gringoboy. . .Dude, you can't take this too seriously now. Just having some fun with you-I knew as much as you like to hear yourself, you would get a rise out of it. But frankly, listenting to you so you can hear yourself is getting boring.
Good night.

Jumpseat?

Do any of you guys know if Ameristar has any jumpseat privileges?

 

[SquirrelDog]

The guy may talk alot but he's got some good points!

 

[coolyokeluke]

I agree SquirrelDog. There were some good points.

I'm in my third part/full time 135 job. The one thing I did wish we had however was a seniority based upgrade. That is your seniority enabled you to apply for the upgrade, the talent/knowlege/skill portion being up to you. I've seen too much brown-nosing-politics-golden boy status in who gets to upgrade and who gets fired when the business cycle slows down in small 135 companies.

wtf...the guy is tired of hearing the bullsh1t about his former company, so he comes in here to straighten a few things out, and half of you yahoos whine because hes talking too much. what a load of crap.

youve heard the saying about not being able to see the forest for the trees? well, put your glasses on before you walk smack into one of them there trees!

so he got off on a rant, so what? and i especially love the remark about total time. as if that has any bearing on life in any way, shape or form. perhaps he just figured some things out that takes your normal yahoo another 6,000 hours to put together in their feeble little minds.

relax and enjoy the voice of someone who has been there...good stuff gringo!
