B19, can you comment about how things are going over there at avantair? Just curious if you'd care to share since you thought it wise to comment here in this thread. Any inside information you could share about your company?

They have a new hire class soon. I guess things are going well there. Small Fleets work in this economy.

Depends what the 5 year plan is

You know, IMHO, I don't think it's wise (or even possible) to come up with a five year plan. Given the dynamic nature if our frac industry, a two or three year plan might be the best idea. Throw in how volitile the economy is right now, and I don't even think a three year plan is realistic.

I agree. We did forecasting in college and I always thought it was pointless most of the time.

You don't know that. Nobody does, all they can do is speculate. All I know is that the union didn't protect a crapload of jobs within the company and it's going to take another crapload of meager yearly profits to make up for the nightmare loss from last year.

sad is an understatement. If it wasnt corporate greed and stupidity, we wouldnt be in this boat in the first place.

you cant get a little bit preganant.

Since when is it a pilots fault that the company will airline someone on day 6 all the way across the country to sit with a plane for 2 hours and then airline them all the way home on day 7???

Is it the pilots fault the company waisted all that cash to do so? This is just one small example of waist that has nothing to do with the pilots contract. We could post hundreds and hundreds of examples like this.

Can't resist - you Americans are always thinking of your in-flight catering......

It's a waste (or wasted) - waist = that chubby bit with your navel in the middle!!

This coming from a guy from a country that spreads bacon fat on toast. Ha. Just kidding.

Might be best if we don't debate obesity rates. I think we would lose that one.

With England? It would be a very close call.

At least our teeth are better.....







Sorry Mike.

 

[rajflyboy]

Maybe b19 will answer my question about "Management" waste ??

or will he chicken out?

 

[G200_PILOT]

He CAN'T answer. He's not allowed to from what I hear. Once you mention Avantair, he has to back off due to certain agreements. Might not be true but that's what I heard. After-all, would it be ethical for an executive of that company to come on here and talk about it?

Not saying this is 100% verified, but good sources say it's so. If it is, it's funnier than hell!

 

[rajflyboy]

Hmmm

I wonder if Avantair has the same types of waste that other fractionals are known for?

 

[G200_PILOT]

Dammit raj, if you keep saying "Avantair," we'll never hear from him... Gawd!!!

Wonder what the 5 year plan entails???
