yeah, but are you comfortable in your new shell?I left myself KID. Along with about 4 or 5 others-thats in the same week. As for those that care to know why its because the company will promise one thing and they will do something that is totaly diff. their response is always the same if you don't like it leave. I have seen people screw up things so bad that you would think they should be fired on the spot but instead they are promoted. I have seen guys stay for years and years and give nothing but the best service get left behind. (no i was not one of them) for those that think the merrit based system is dead think again. no overtime=late upgrade, don't drink the company koolaid=late upgrade, mgt doesnt like you=late upgrade. As for my reasons why I left they are pretty simple. no dispatch, no pilot friendly mgt. and too much of the you dont like it then leave. crew rot at the fbo, min rest overnite evry single nite. The company will try to push you as much as they can and as long as you get the job done no problem, but if screw up watch out. There are alot of senior people that are getting ready leave, i get calls everyday asking for letters of recomendations. The bottom line is toooooo many people are afraid to say anything online or at the fbo. you don't have to beleive me since i don't care now that i am gone.
It was a great place to be 2-4 years ago but now times have change and in my opinion they are not much better than a regional. Before i left nehires were telling me that when they interviewd they were told that it was a 7/7 schedule, but when they showed up mgt all of a sudden decided that it changed to an 8/6 if this is the company you want to work for be my guest.
BravoDude...I can guarantee you are RON, writing this stuff down, getting a good laugh reading the replies. You know CS is a great place to work...How do I know this..Because you and I flew together a TON! If I remember~we had some good laughs...AND YES YOU ARE LAZY, I have never cleaned so much on any tour since you! Do we have some problems that need to be fixed? Sure, but read the papers...looks like you guys may too. See Websters definition of a job.
And by the way...remember my upgrade? I swim, soak, and drink the kool-aid, worked the OT, etc. etc. We were promised 18 months, I got 18 months...Nothing more, nothing less. Guys in my class that didnt work a day of OT...same thing.
So bravodude...stop hating...in fact, why are you even on this page...don't you have a quick turn, or a cup of coffee to go get?
Next time you are close, give me a call, I will buy you a beer and we can laugh about the good ol' days, and talk about the recommendation you are going to write me!
In all honesty, the only thing about sucks about CS is that we have lost some AWESOME people~some great brothers and sisters like you. But as stated earlier~CAN'T blame a guy for turning down a "dream job" ~ but for the rest of us...this is a he!!uva gig...
Wish you were still here...Tell our CS peeps over there I said hello.
