Cargo plane crash at CVG

[mudflap]

Looks like i'm glad I didn't take the job!

 

[flyinyourShorts]

I'm glad you joined up here Chris, being the "company spokesman" and all. Your all SO loyal to the Rudes now, wait until they screw you like they do everybody else. I didn't think it could happen, but in the end they screwed me too! And if the FAA doesn't shut them down they will do it to you, wait and see. I know your going to show Noel this post, and I hope he hears every word of it.

Being that EVERY pilot that worked there when I did, with the exception of the Cheif Pilot and another Captain, has already left... I don't think I backstabbed anybody! If anybody got backstabbed it will be those two guys in that cockpit by the company itself. It should tell you what kind of company Air Tahoma is when 11 of their less than 20 pilots leave in a three week period! Ask all those guys that left why they left, you will get the same answer, Air Tahoma scerwed them in some manner.

Yes I was very loyal to Air Tahoma, and I busted my rump for them my few years there. Only in the end to get shat on... that is egg on my face, i'll admit to that.

Yes I applied for the D/O job, but was needed to be Cheif Pilot in the Philippines and the owner said he wanted to run the company for a while. I was recomended for the job BY the FAA, but I don't know if I would have taken it anyway. I'm not saying I would have done any better, but the five or so pilots he ran off would still be there if I was.

Yes I left them for a much better job, but if that's not a good excuse than why would YOU leave Chris? Until Air Tahoma learns it can't treat people like crap and actually maintain airplanes nobody will stay around. We see now where it gets you when you save money in both training and mantinence.

Yes I trained everybody that came through the door for a long while, and I have a couple FAA ops inspectors that will attest to the training I gave was excellent. If you would like to see my letters of rec from them I will be more than happy to show you them. The current training must be pretty bad if the Captain on that flight was begging for more IOE only not to recieve anymore because Air Tahoma cannot afford to do that due to lack of crews. There is no way I would have signed the guy off of IOE if he was begging for more, that's the difference between myself and some other people in the company. There is nobody left there that I trained.

I am saddened Air Tahoma actually killed somebody, and that's something the Rude's will have to deal with. I just hope they one day relize it is the way they run a company that killed a pilot. So Chris, tighten your seatbelt down there in the office, you guys are in for in for a ride!

Updates??

Anyone have an update on the investigation, etc??

 

[DrRaptor]

Huh...funny how people can't read all the info

First off - Eddie, no updates that I know of. NTSB was only confirming to us what they said in the paper- it's gonna be a while before they know anything concrete.

Steve - Ya know, it's funny. I signed up for this site on Saturday morning, and didn't get activated until this afternoon, so I have no clue as to how I could have posted anything before. The person I see you claiming to be me says he has 1200 hours. I think that's just a bit shy of 10 times the amount of time I have, that should have been your first clue. I only knew of what you put up here because I walked into work one evening to find an e-mail on my company e-mail with a link to this thread on it. It's amazing how I say not a negative word to you or about you to anyone, and this is the thanks I get.

Have a fun life Steve, but don't e-mail me. BTW, the guys at CalClassic know what kind of person you are now too, as several have seen this thread.

 

[eddie02]

Thanks....Let us know if you hear anything further. Also, have they released the Captain's name?

 

[DrRaptor]

We're not going to be releasing the Captain's name. That's a decision from on high and was encouraged by the NTSB guys who were here. If his name comes out, it'll be when the NTSB releases it.

"Nurse Raptor...oh Nurse Raptor...hurry upstairs, Noel wants his feet massaged again like only you can do. And no...you still can't use your hands."

Holy company kool-aid drinkers Batman!

Dr. Flatulence w/ his 40 Super-Cub hours has spoken all bow down! (Note to his I.T. guy...that's not syrup in the keyboard)

YOU are giving Emperor Shorts crap?!?! Surely he's deserving...but YOU?!?!

 

[Tahomos]

Word I Heard is the Nerd was given the bird (Dr. Raptor was flushed by Bud et al). Looks like we can take the "Ops" out of Ops Peon.

 

[BTSOMT]

Any more info on the Air Tahoma crash? Did the NTSB give a ruling yet? Any rumors?

 

[JetsByJune]

I heard this airplane lost both its engines. was this a maintenance issue or a pilot training issue. what is the captain doing for a living now ??????

 

[cargopod]

From what i understand the company has got him back on the line flying as a Captian.I also hear that he is the ass. DO and director of training..Isnt that ironic.

 

[BTSOMT]

What person is responsible for the first officers death? Are they taking care of his widow?

 

[cargopod]

I would venture to say not as well as the captian that was the reesponsable for the flight

 

[cargopod]

Shorts guy.. Is this Steve Mathis?

Your statements are terrible, the dust hasn't even settled from the crash and you are saying some pretty harsh things. No one knows what happened yet.

I heard that you recently applied for the Chief Pilot spot there only a short time ago. I also heard that you trained crews while you were there. I also heard that you recently quit because you got a higher paying job somewhere else?? Sounds like you are stabbing your fellow pilots and employer in the back!

Instead of bashing for personal gain, I hope everyone will stop and support our fellow pilots when they need us the most.

What ever happened to this guy. did he drowned in the company cool-aids..This is the kind of calling out only done from the privacy of a very rude place.. its like Rude behavior in the bed room..this is a person for the outhouse wall..at least he will be in very rude company there..

 

[mudflap]

Rumor is he left Air Tahoma for Air Cargo Carriers not too long ago.

Funny thing about his post is ACC is the "higher paying job" flyinyourShorts left for! The rumor I heard also was SM give him the contact information to get on with ACC when flyguy22 kept saying how much Air Tahoma sucked and how he wanted to get out of there!

I wouldn't help somebody after porting something like that about me on here! Guess SM is a pretty good guy in my book

 

[flyinyourShorts]

I just try and help out as many people out of Air Tahoma as I can. You should know flap about me helping people ;-)


It's funny how quickly AJ's idea about Air Tahoma was when he realized if they actually typed him he would be the one blamed when he didn't fly airplanes when they were broke! He just got an "enlightenment", that's all....

You're doing a great service to these guys and their families to warn them about these hazards.

As i was told in ground school in front of 10 other people :If there are maintence issues we dont replace the aircraft we just re place the captian..Get the picture..

It seems that intimidation like that could potentially get one of their pilots killed in an accident.
