“HAHA I guess the Hotel Bills have all caught up with them.”

lol

Must be the TBN hotel!

I heard rumors that besides a color copy of every pilot’s DL and his/her pilot license, the hotel mgmt now wants a copy of a valid passport and a birth certificate along with a credit card (for name verification purposes only). TSA agents will then meet the pilots in the hotel lobby to administer fingerprinting and dna sampling tests.

Then again, if you change the airline's name, maybe all this will go away??? ;)




 
Is just the name changing or is someone buying the company?? Maybe everyone will have an American Eagle employee Number soon.
 
eww, someone to buy corpex???

They must be desperate to get a
121 certificate, 3 towbars, 6 GPU's,
7 old fords and 12 486dx66 computers!
hehehe, and our $7+million worth of
EAS contracts...(yeah, Fred, we can
find the EAS stuff on the internet...
it's public domain, and it's $2+million
more than in 2001, and UIN is only
$.98M of the difference).

We could be worse off if Eagle bought
us. With no union, we would just get
stapled and bumped off the bottom of
the list by the AA recalls that are
super-seniority and getting left seat in
the -700's...

Oh yeah and SWA, AirTran have
certificates. But Pace doesn't have
121, just 125?

Maybe there is hope!!!

We could be Hooters Express, callsign
"Topless"...

Well, a nice dream, anyway...
hehehe

Not true. I think you meant to say Pace has a part-121 supplemental ticket. In fact, Pace has been part-121 “supplemental” carrier for years (just like Fedex) AND earlier this spring got approved as a part-121 “domestic” carrier as well (just like Corpex). There’re pro’s and con’s to both tickets but from what I understand, the “domestic” ticket will probably be used for the Hooters side in the future.
 
Interesting that you mention
Fedex, and wondering if UPS
does the same thing...given that
both operate sched international
operations!

Or do they?

The tangled webs we weave...
 
Supplemental can be scheduled (i.e. HootersAir you bid a line, and get a 4 on 3 off schedule, you know your days on and off a month in advance, nothing different than 3C) Domestic can be less than “scheduled” too, have you ever done a “charter” flight out of MQY? You know like we used to do every now and then (and I think still do)? Technically it's a part 121 flight because that's what the certificate says (even though we are told "it's a 91 leg"). Like I said, both tickets have their pro’s and con’s from pilot’s and mgmt’s perspectives. However, both are still part 121.

In my 135 days, we were an unscheduled
carrier, but we flew the same things 5 days
a week...as I said, the tangled webs we
weave and I really was just stiring the pot...
"callsign Topless"...I don't think that would
get past the censors, but it would be cool!
It was a joke, only a joke!

The last charter I am aware of was done
by JZ, and I am really glad that I didn't
have anything to do with it...get him to
tell you the story sometime!

Old French proverb...
"He who jumps off a bridge in Paris is
in Seine."

By the way, that is a joke too...

Hehehe
 
Learn a lot in a Duchess? Ha. I learned more about dispatching from Homey than from any other pilot at Regions.....er,.... Corporate. He was totally selfless about presenting us with unusual situations. It's boring here without you, Homey. If I buy you some hot wings, will you come back?
 
“…totally selfless about presenting us with unusual situations…”



Lol, anything to keep y’all from browsing pornsites on the internet and bying toys on eBay ;)



How, ‘bout I buy you some wings next time I’m in town? I think I’ll get a better deal on ‘em lol



Flight Experience: Yes :)

Ratings: Tennessee Driver's Permit. Must have adult in vehicle at all times. (that would preclude most corpex pilots and dispatchers, wouldn't it?)
 
Name Change???

Guys,


I'm here hanging out with the 4 new hires at Pace + Rob R. & Carol came over to say hi too.

Well, we all heard that Corporate Airlines might become RegionsAir. Probably just another rumor; however in case it's true, I’m sure “CORPEX” call sign will have to be replaced with something new. So we all came up with a few call sign suggestions. Here they go:


“REJEX,”

“RETREAD,”

“CHEEZEWHIZ,”

“N*****,”………


Y’all keep the list goin’ lol



Luve, HomeY : )
 
RegionsAir Callsign

First things first; Morning, Fred.


Hmmm, let's see

1. Bubba
2. Fredex
3. Barney (all the new young FO's will have grown up with him)
4. Bankrupt

Just a few ideas... Keep 'em coming

big things are comming???

Good Evening Fred, and welcome to
page four...

With the current lack of crewmembers
the CP has been out on the line...and
one of the persons was told "I wouldn't
be surprised to see another type rating
on you license."

I guess that this why we aren't getting
our raises...saving the big bucks to get
some brazillias!

hehehe

Been listening to that cra*p for years. He is just trying to keep what is left of the new guys from leaving. It is all a bunch of B.S.

The CP doesn't know what is going on anymore than the rest of us dumb pilots.

Big things are cummin' (right up our rear ends)
 
How about Cotex? To stop the bleeding? :D

Or Foodstamp?
 
While no pilots can go on vacation
due to the lack of staff, Rumor has
it that Fred is on vacation and that
is why there will be no followup
meeting this week!!!

And now a message from several
senoir check airmen...

ANOTHER THING, STOP THE OT!!!!!!!!!!!!
CLIFF, LES, AND COOL COOL DUDE.
 
Please tell me you are kidding

"I wouldn't be surprised to see another type rating on you license."

Come on now. Do any of you really believe this? Sounds like Management is trying to keep pilots from learing the truth, and that Fred wants to keep more money for Richie. The Scheduling department did get their raises. GRATZ guys.

Did anyone hear anything about the meeting that took place last monday? Just wondering if they were taking it seriously.

Um, actually, uhhh (scratches head in deeply contemplative
mannor)...no???

Caravans don't require a type...but they cost more than
jetstreams!

hehehe

Crapex, Look one post above your last...
 
Last edited:
Cessnas, yes....Caravans, no.

You know, lots of Cessnas only require ONE pilot....... Quick upgrade for FO's. Then the Jetstream would be our widebodies. HA!

The way I hear it, Regions Air is a done deal, just waiting to dot t's and cross i's.
 
Haven't heard that one about
Mesa/corpex. The only thing that
would surprise me is if we got newer
or larger equipment...and a realistic
pay scale. Will check with some of
my sources.

Did read the article in the 07/29 USA
Today, with pic of one of our whitetails
in LAF..."800 turobprops in service, 30%
less than 2001"...and "those turboprops
aren't comming back".

Kind of out-of-step with the company
line about the "continuing viability of
the 19 seat market."

See ya

I've heard rumblings, too, about some sort of Air Midwest/3C sort of thing, no details, however. There are some interesting things happening, though. The name change, a possible new maintenance base in UIN, supposedly they are spending money on a new dispatch system (and we know they NEVER spend money they don't have to), and now these rumors. It breaks the monotony to speculate, anyway. And in the absence of any REAL news........ Nature abhors a vacuum.


Good Morning, FRED

P.S. (Firebird...... Papa?)

I read that Thursday too....ironically enough, while sitting in STL for 6 hours trying to catch an American Connection flight. Memories, memories:rolleyes:
