Pseudoname, maybe starting a new thread might get some more attention and response.

Gathering?

O yea, I can already see it....

We are greeted at the door by the lawyers of PJ, Avjet, Clay Lacy, blah blah blah... LOLOL "I'm really here to have a nice dinner with the guys and watch planes take off, seriously!! "

 

[WW24dude]

I'm surprised. I thought Avjet was a pretty well respected company in SOCAL. It seems some of you are putting them on the same 'plane' as Pacific Jet. Anybody have anything constructive to say? If I'm intested in a Westwind job where can I send my resume.

Thanks in advance to some...and per Flightinfo.com SOP, no thanks to you usual suspects...you know who you are...

P.S.
I heard 94th Aero was a gay bar...

I don't think anyone here puts AvJet in the same classification as PJ. They are a decent operator....you just have to watch your back and keep track of expenses owed to you.


94th......a gay bar?? Yeah, it's real gay....all those pilots drinking out by the fire pit and evaluating the jets land.

I agree, AVJet is one of the better companies out there... sorry if I implied otherwise. Honestly, theres nothing worse than PJ. Problems in your expenses are pretty common everywhere you go.

94th Aero is actually a pretty good restaurant, at least for VNY... I believe they have one in a few airports as well, I went to the one @ W.Palm Beach while I was there @ FSI.

I agree with WW24Dude, isn't this thread about AvJet and flying the westwind? Good input on the topic would be appreciated.

Avjet is a good place to work, it is a 135 operation, so certain things come with flying charter that you just have to deal with.

While I was employed there (I left to pursue a part 91 job) I never heard of anybody not getting paid their expenses. Sometimes it took a while (couple weeks maybe) but I never had any of my expense reports "lost."

The people were great to work with, and I'm gonna miss flying with a lot of them. I would say if you are looking for a flying job in Socal and don't mind the 135 lifestyle, by all means apply and try to come aboard. The flying is good - great clientele, lots of hours available. The equipment is great and if you get hired onto the Westwind, the chances are that in 2 years you will be flying a late model Gulfstream Product. I'm speaking from experience.

There are a lot of "sleazy" 134 1/2 operators out there and Avjet isn't one of them. Best of luck.........

Psudo,

Yes, an even better idea than the first. Maybe we should all show up with an differeng screen name than our own on a name tag. You know, if you like "English's" posts, you show up as English (gender not considered). If you like "Ace-of-the-Base", you show up in that drag.

I would laff my tail feathers off though ... I'll bet every one shows up as "Psyci ...", what's that kid's name?

Anybody use Ultranav in the Westwind ??

Westwind Ultranav anyone???? Do any of you westwind drivers use Ultranav? If anybody does, would you be willing to burn a cd for me? I've used it in the GII and Hawker and would like to use it in the westwind if I can. Thanx in advance

 

[Makesheepnervus]

Transmach,

How about getting your cheapskate boss to buy a copy of ultranav?

 

[TransMach]

Ultranav

Sheep,

Well, first I didn't make the above post. I sent Mark (webmaster) a note. I can edit it, but I sure didn't post it. In fact, each time I make a post the "number of posts" doesn't increase. And, if anyone cares, EVERY time I post something I sign it "TransMach" ... which this guy didn't.

He's probably just as mistyfied as I am.

Maybe HIS cheepskate boss can buy him a copy.

The Real TransMach

P.S. -- I've never set foot on a G-II or a Hawker

 

[Makesheepnervus]

Strange things are afoot...

BTW I do have an ultranav disk for an astra, but I don't think that helps you much.

Signed,

"TransMach"
