Attention FLOPs Pilots!!

[fracsdispatcher]

Flops dispatcher, perhaps you should be concerned with filing some flight plans and let the pilots worry about the flying stuff. Have you ever thought that had flops mgmt stepped up to the plate like NJA, flex and CS that maybe a drive towards a union wouldnt have occurred??? Flops mgmt is doing the pilots wrong by not following suit and paying them what they are worth. Remember, Flops mgmt had ads in the NY Times, boasting that they had the highest paid pilots......the idea was that, if you were an owner, wouldnt you want your pilots paid what they are truly worth??? I agree...but look what your mgmt is doing now. SO much for that ad, uh????

How would you feel if your friends doing the exact same work you were doing were getting paid plenty more than you currently are? Wouldnt you ask why your mgmt wasnt going to do you right??? What does that say for Flops mgmt and how they view their employess???? It's a huge slap in the face if you ask me.

Last but not least.....I hope that flops mgmt does the right thing and sticks to their original motto of having the highest paid pilots out there and does them right otherwise flops mgmt is taking the pilots on a ride down the "Highway to Hell." Your right, ACDC still lives as you say.

How would I feel? Ha, if I am doing the same job as my so called "friends" and they are paid MORE. Then either they need to take a pay cut or get fired. Why, cause I can hire someone else to do the same job for less. After they are gone, I will say, great job management for getting rid of the waste. Don't need to go to outside the country to outsource, we got workaholics right here in America...

Mumbling to myself, friends, yea right....Put your head down and do your job....

RESPONSE TO:

#1. I don't think any pilot would loose any sleep over this one.

#2. I dont think any pilot would loose any sleep over this one.

#3. Thank you for your help on this one. I'm sure that every pilot would rather take a two-hour hot meal break over crewfood. I'm sure that the crew will let the supervisors know why you delayed the flight by two-hours.

#4. I don't think any pilot would loose any sleep over this one.

#5. Make sure that you explain to the supervisors why this flight was delayed. I'm sure that the pilots will take care of this one for you.

#6. Thank you for getting us a later show.

#7. That's great. This will result in nothing more than a "fatigue" call. Then you get to jump through your ass in finding another crew. Ultimately, costing the company more money. Looks like you wont be getting a pay raise. The pilots (NJA, CS) already received their raise...did you?

#8. Like you're in a position to suggest anything. If I were you, I'd be looking over my shoulder. Come Monday morning, I'm sure that their will be hundreds of unskilled laborers that have just finished reading the Sunday Paper Want Ads waiting to take your job. assumming they can pass the one-week training course.


Do you have some misguided anger? If so, it appears that your anger is directed at the wrong group of people. But, then again, everyone likes to blame the pilots. It's much easier. If you, along with management, would just accept the responsibility for your own screwups then daily operations would run much smoother.

My guess it that you're just having fun with this post. At least, I'm sure that's how any pilot would read it. Nothing wrong with a little fun.

Thinair, trust me, management is not exempt from my wrath at work either. I keep em hoppin like a bag of popcorn. I got plenty of salt for them. I consider continous improvement as nondiscriminatory. Misguided anger, maybe on the chat rooms, but not at work. If I screw up, it's only once of that issue, then I move on and don't point fingers.

No one is perfect and I know it, if only our owners knew it and quit trying to get a free ride. But, we gotta understand that they are business people and will always try to get something cheap. It's their nature.

You're making quite an assumption here. Namely, that he/she/it has any friends. Judging from its response to you, my guess is "no."

Just like management, who obviously succeeded in hiring you...

Yah, poor assumption on my part.

I know someone who will work as a fully qualified dispatcher for a lot less than you get. Lets get you fired, get rid of the waste and have this other pal whose a workaholic take over your position.

Why dont you save Flight options money and work for free? You could do a janitorial job working late night at Walmart and earn your living that way.

Well I can tell you one thing the dispatchers at Options are just glorified secretaries. All they do is answer the phones. They do not file any flight plans. With that in mind, most of them were biggie sizing your order last week.

Hey rocker, they might just have been the janitor at Wal-mart last week. That is the type of people they hire to be dispatchers at Options. The company drives all the good ones away.

Dispatcher, as far as you keeping management hoppin like popcorn. That is a crock of crap. If you really are a dispatcher and do work at Options. You know you would be fired in a heart beat if you were causing any trouble and not drinking the kool-aid, which I believe is in the water in CGF.

 

[wolfpackpilot]

I will suggest that crews start their duty day at the fbo irreguardless of trips assigned starting at 0800lcl. Unless of course we can repo at 0600lcl.

Glad your with Flex and not NJI... cause you'd be the one getting fired! Our dispatchers are absolutely the best in the business and a pleasure to work with.

Yes I agree....

But I would caution pilots not to respond to someone claiming to be a dispatcher by attacking your coworkers on the basis the comments of one idiot.

I appreciate the work of dispatchers and other workers who support our operations.
