English,


I understand that you were offered a position with CitationShares and turned it down. Maybe you had something better to do making less money, or you were just somebody that had to fly the "big iron", that was your desicion, but if you would have accepted the position, would you have had an issue with wearing a $400 suit jacket to look like a "Five Star" pilot? If you say "no" than we wouldn't want you here anyway.

NRHpilot,

I think I know who you're talking about and she's a spoiled United Brat. Guess she just couldn't provide the "five star" service that needed to be provided. Guess she'll be paying back her contract for awhile!
 
No, I'm not dissing CS. I was actually very impressed with the operation. I turned it down for personal reasons (making more money at the same time). And, I dress better than most pilots on the road. But you'll never see me putting my health at risk while flying just to look good! The jackets come off on my plane when its hot - period.

Don't know what I would do with a 400 dollar suit.

Oh yeah, return it to Goodwill :)

Actually not a United brat, picked up a job in the DAL area flying the same equipment. Seems to be what she wanted.

In reality most of us don't really like the $400 suit jacket. It wrinkles the second you put it on, it's hot and uncomfortable. I know management has been looking at new jackets. Anyway, it's not the jacket that makes a five star pilot, it's the person wearing it. I also don't believe it represents the company well to put down other people because they chose for one reason or another to work for a different company. In this back stabbing, dog eat dog industry I don't see how you can put a person down for trying to make the best of their career. One of the things that makes our company a nice place to work is most people don't spend their time bad mouthing others.

As far as your comment about United goes. . .I have several friends that are laid off and I'm sure they and thier families would not agree with your belief about them being spoiled. Also don't forget one of the Bravo PMs is laid off United. It might be a good idea to not throw around comments like that, unless you believe it part of being a five star pilot to insult your PM.

Hey Jetjohn,

If you want to know the truth about CitationShares here it is. If you'd be fortunate enough to be hired here, you'll find the best equiptment, the best pay and schedule and most of all the best experienced, professional, and well dressed pilots that any any fractional has to offer. We are a very sucessful, growing company only looking to recruit the best. You'll notice that no one posts negative comments about us. There is a reason for that, think about it! Good luck in your search.

Bogie:

Y'all must be one of those kool-aid drinkin management types with the bonus blinders on.

There has been plenty of stuff posted, what I would call reality-based rather than kool-aid based information, bout what C.S. is all about, and it aint all positive.

Get real man! Your company makes lotsa pilots happy, and lotsa pilots unhappy too. If y'all do not know that by now, PM me and I'll give you some info I've heard in private from some of your pilots.

Search for posts by Bluepost for instance. Somebody mentioned FLX 757, he sure was P.O.'ed at the company a while back, and others who have posted negative info. Guess you need to be lookin' a little harder Bogie.

By the way, how's Bacall doin?
 
Bacall is doing great. Thank you for asking!!

Believe me, I am NOT bad mouthing United pilots, I do have several friends furloughed from United as well. My comment was about that particular person. She felt this job was beneath her after her experience of having the opportunity to fly for United.

English, I know you're a good guy and I wasn't trying to come down on you. I'm sorry it came across that way.

Cs

I have a few friends over there as well. S.S.D.D. It is a fractional. The profit margin is small because they all sell the shares too cheap trying to outsell the next fractional, and they try to make up the difference by underpaying and overworking the pilots. And the upgrades don't go by seniority (aka a management suckup moves ahead of other qualified pilots), and the schedule and benefits are average...

Its just another fractional.
 
Sovereigns at CS

How many Sovereigns do you have on the property now and how many do you expect before year end? Are newhires eligible for FO slots on the Sovereign? Will the Sovereigns be Hawaii-capable and flying those flights for owners? I would imagine a number of California owners would want that flexibility...

Any opinions on flying the Sovereign yet?

Bogie:

To be clear, it was this part of your quote most shocking to me. You failed to respond to this in your reply, so I say again...what are you smokin' man? The kool weed? Listen up to what people are sayin! There have been numerous negative comments on CS, just look and you will find.

Get your head out from behind that desk, flyboy.
