I can hardly wait for see that card in the mail again. The last one I recieved looked like some 5 year old made it on construction paper. It actually looked like it was cut out with plastic safety scissors. Perhaps there is a kindergarden connection............this may need futher investigation.

Relax my fellow Avaitors, the cards will be mailed once again.

Can you, we, go the distance.

The question is not how far. The question is, do you possess the constitution, the depth of faith, to go as far as is needed?

I don't know who started this post, or what his cause is, but this much is true: The list of good, hardworking people who are no longer with this company because of backstabbing, knowing too much information, personal vendettas, and speaking out for what is fair and right, etc., is long. Maybe this stuff does happen elsewhere as someone else noted, but that doesnt make it right. And to those people who are moving up the chain of command rather quickly who think " Oh, they would never do that to me," to those people I say beware. Any employee here is a scapegoat waiting for their time. Smart people here work the line and keep their head below the radar.

One would think that an unhappy work group would be all over this post in agreement. The silence is deafening! This clearly indicates to me that the change in DO has obviously had a calming effect on the company.

It also seems that the quote above comes from a disgruntled employee that spends far too much time being paranoid about micromanaging their surroundings and the people around them than doing what it takes to be part of the team and getting the job done.

Maybe most people are happy, and that's fine. It doesnt make what's happened in the past up till not long ago not true. And leopards don't change their spots- they lay and wait. This company has screwed alot of people over- just because they havent in the last 3 weeks is no reason to stand on a chair and sing their praises. But maybe you're right- things are now hunky dory- unlikely though. Usually calm waters just precede the next storm.

How does having an opinion automatically translate to micromanaging anything? Such a comment makes you look stupid when you dont know a thing about how I've formed my opinion. My opinion was and is being formed by knowing a lot about unscrupulous things I've seen happen and good people treated like crap by management that doesnt care about anyone but themselves. If they have fooled you into thinking they care about you, that makes you fairly pathetic. Wait until something goes down where you need backup- you'll find out quickly how things change. And I'm not disgruntled at all- I just call it the way I see it. If that is different from how you see it, so be it. YOU are not going to change my mind. I could maybe change yours with the information I have, but not the other way around.

Most of us understand that any employer/employee situation lends itself only to what we can produce today. When we can not or will not (or slam the company continually) produce today the employer has no other option than to terminate the relationship. After all we are taking their money. Business, strickly business. Some employers are better than others in the "taking care of" business. The employer/ employee relationship is a business transaction. Maybe you did not protect yourself in the beginning as you should have. Don't let personal vendettas or feelings get in the way of your future business plans. Let there be no doubt...Business is business...Avantair will protect itself, it is their fudiciary duty, and you need to as well...
After all some of us really enjoy it here...

I don't think the change in DO has had any impact yet. It's more of a wait and see kind of thing.

Also, people that work for Avantair have to be very careful giving an honest opinion. It'll get you fired.

Shhhh!

I agree with these guys, it's all slight of hand at AVair, I hear that the Mx is really atrocious!

WTF, who the hell are you to make that kind of remark against those hard working mechanics, its bad enough that they get treated like second class citizens, but to get bashed by some jacka*s like you is crossing the line. Sure the airplane is a maintenance whore, but what can you expect from an airplane that was designed to fly 10 hours a month. You cant blame the mechanics for that? I could make the statement that flyboys friend cant fly worth a sh*t, and that your a*s is planted in the right seat with no hope of upgrade in sight because of it. Would that be a fair rumor to spread? Or would that be atrocious?!

Only if you personally attack the Big Mans wife on the internet.
