Not to mention that the ATR is UGLY!!!!

Hey beer and Capt, what are you guys flying these days?

I'm no longer with Pac wings, working on A stars and Hughes 500's now. Still on Maui tho.

Ditto with the ATR Capt, only mine was in a BE-18.

Bling,

As I recall you had some trash can fun at one time as well......

Ref,
Get your sweaty tail back outside and pump some gas. They ain't paying you that big ol check to sit inside and mouth off to your elders.

 

[refplusnone]

na4life,

Can't wait till my next pumpin' petro paycheck. I worked one extra day this week so that means I'll be paid more fuelin the planes than flyin them on this paycheck.

Boooyah!!

I'm bigtime baby.

I haven't joined the trash can club yet-got pretty close yesterday though.

We were in front of TSKY in a "slow" airplane which caused ATC to slow him to 170kias. I had a good chuckle over that one.
And yes Ref, I'm not only a two time member of the bag of shame club, butt also the president. I actually think it's comfy.

Having flown both the 135 & 121 sides I can say that the 135 world is not all that great but is far better than the 121 side. At least flying the Caravan you have a C.P. that looks after it's people. Q.O.L. for most F-27 & ATR pilots is very poor if not non-existent. Eventhough pay, per diem and insurance are way behind the curve (and will never get better), it's the ignorant, iron fisted management style of the company that made me look for another job. If you come here you will sign a no-holds-barred, long term, ridiculous training contract for sub-standard training, be forced to move at the companies whim, never be home and have your senority and bids laughed at. The only saving grace is the pilot group but seeing them continuously bent over is depressing. It's too bad because Empire used to be a decent place to work but has gone down hill very fast. Why anyone would come here when they could go to Skywest is beyond me. Greatfully my time there is done and I don't have to deal with it any more thanks to J.B.
