Fly on hard days off?

... never heard of such a thing. However I did hear that they lure you with a 6 and 4 flight schedule that never materializes. Also heard that the current "flight support" has turned into "customer support" and little support for flight crews are provided (e.g. weather routing, flight planning, dispatch). Sounds like they are on the skids. I too have heard from past/present pilots that the corporate environment there is not a happy place.

hard days off

Flying them is not the issue. Getting paid for them is. Everything you said is true. They used to be flight support when Meric and I were there. But towards the end, John DePalma felt he wasnt getting the max out of the pilots. So, he started shaving back on what flight support was supposed to do for them.
When you hate paying people to work for you but you have to, you find ways to abuse them as much as possible.
I dont know what else to say on this subject. I hated it there and I am glad I am free.

Annamarie, does the 31 still belong to Bettcher Ind?

I used to fly with a great guy that went there. If anybody knows where Richard Locke is these days, drop me a PM. (I lost his cell #, last I heard he had moved up to CLE.)

Hey Aero -

Congrats with your Thunderbird type rating man!

What happened to all your cool Gulfstream type ratings?

Thanks for proofing that even monkey's can fly airplanes. You are a disgrace for all Gulfstream pilots out there. That having said, I don’t believe you are a Gulfstream pilot.. A Gulfstream Airlines SIC maybe on the 1900, but that’s it.

Is your mil experience for real? It’s new to your profile… Some former USAF buddies at my company would love to meet you. They love your remarks at Flightinfo. Send me a PM with your base and we’ll JS over there for a few beers huh? What do ya think.


Big Kiss,
FD

Hey,

... Dutchdoor. I've missed you. Which bus station stall have you been manning lately? Let me know if you run low on chap stick. There's a drug store around the corner.

Did you ever follow up and check out that Learjet lead I gave you in Florida? It was ligit!



Mil experience? I was in the "Houligan Navy" Anybody can land on 10,000 feet of runway.

My profile was getting too "busy." Just cleaned winged it. Thunderbird 2 was the heavy.

 

[Flyingdutchman]

I hope you didn't pay for your Thunderbird type...

Talk to ya later amigo.

Any chance you wanna walk in my resume? still would love to go on a 4 day with ya!

fly safe.

 

[aeronautic1]

Lol!!

No problem buddy.

I just put a retired NW friend in a Ce550; job doing indoc as we speak. Turned a Hawker friend onto another gig yesterday. It's not what you know... you know?

You want to be my friend? Beechnut 1900 - PULEEZ!!

 

[aeronautic1]

Oh

.. and Dutchdoor... That's EX-Wife. You can keep her, thank you very much.

 

[Flyingdutchman]

.. It's not what you know indeed, It who you know.

.. Don't burn any bridges behind your ass...


.. And the people you’ll meet on your way up, are the same ones you’ll meet on your way down.. Question is.. When and where am I going to meet you???

it's a small world amigo, you should know that by now.

What's wrong with a Beech (200) damn it! make fun about my dog, maybe about my chicks, but not about my planes!

Now, log off and grab a cold one.

Big hug + kisses
As always, your alien friend,
