Snippets from an email sent out by a chief pilot!!

"We are having a going out of business sale. Stop by my office and pick out a poster, or logo tee shirt, pictures, pins, memorabilia, or other ASA artifacts. Everything must go and it's all free."

So this is how Delta is going to reduce RJ capacity!

ASA will never go out of business. We make too much money, specifically from all those ASA pilot training items... FAR/AIMs, E6Bs, plotters, kneeboards, etc.

And Delta makes all their money off of their plumbing/faucet business
 
We need to get rid of a few middle mgmt people before we got out of business!!!
Yes, SH and CT would be nice to start!!!
 
SH needs it for ASA.
Hey let's blow more money on appreciation WEEK!!!
 
Laughing!!!
Cool sucks!!!
:uzi:

I never thought about that, where's the link in ourasa to get our employee discount on faucet fixtures?
 
May SH be extended by scheduling (again). Maybe that's why he hasn't flown in a while......

Actually, since he wants fresh faces in the CP offices now, shouldn't he be going to the line soon? He'd unfortunately be an FO, though. Number 969 is the most junior Captain on the newest list and he's a 998. :eek:

Isn't it great that our own System Chief Pilot can't even hold a Captain slot?

So is RC leaving the company? Didn't think he had a medical anymore?
I know I have been at ASA too long when the chief pilots are junior to me!!
 
Yesterday? I stopped by his office and it was locked up. I'm sorry to have missed him. Thats one more number up the list...

He's a pretty funny guy, as long as you're not the punch line. His humor always seemed to have a victim.
 
Is it possible that a message to call got lost during the in range call?


Crew: Hey Ops, Austin in range.

Ops: Bottom of 24. Have C.P. Connelly call S.H. Copy dat?

Crew: OK, Bottom of 24.

Ops: Rahg.
 
As usual, there is more to this story. Many pilots have had trouble with RC and his attitude. RC treats people like $h!t unless you are in the inner circle. He was told to change his attitude and he refused. Some of you might want to get the other side of the story before you go off on SH.

The only people who have trouble with RC are those that screwed up somehow and RC called them on it. Or maybe his dry humor offended them somehow, who knew. Or maybe they called him at 2am when he was on call and asked him if they could ferry an airplane in jeans and a t-shirt, and he went off on them.

That being said, if you did screw up, and you were honest with RC, he would help you out. Like the guy or not, you can't argue about how he represented the pilots. Those that went in his office knew that he was not a company kool-aid drinker, and didn't kowtow to SH in the hopes of getting promoted one day.

And that, to me, is why he was an effective chief pilot.

Actually RC was a company man. The problem is that the company is looking for a new attitude in the CP office. The "dry humor" as you call it, was not what Skywest is looking for. Aren't you a union person? How do you defend a management type going off on someone? That isn't appropriate anytime. I'm very surprised you would condone that behavior.

RC didn't like having to leave DFW, and then SLC. He held a grudge about having to relocate to ATL. Then he took it out on Scott in public. That doesn't work in an organization.
 
I'm a union person as much as you're a union person. I'm not sure how that is relevant to this discussion.

I'm also not going to speculate as to why he got fired, or what type of humor SkyWest wants in their chief pilots.

I'm just going to say that I enjoyed working with RC, and it's a shame how this all went down.
