FLOPS - How Long Before...

[HSDriver]

who knows, they are like the energizer bunny. I thought I barely got out in time about 1.5 years ago. I though they were going to be toast just after the merger.
But they kept going and going.....

Funny how that tends to happen in this industry.

That Scheringa guy is clueless. Big surprise given that he came from USAirways. And I still remember the days when getting an interview at FLOPS was coveted by all - maybe 5 years ago...

I also heard 10 in 1 day. Either a rumor from one source with a lot of gab, or it is accurate.

I even hear that guys are not even worried about burning bridges. They don't even summit a proper resignation letter. Instead, they don't bother to show up on day 1 of their tour, having fun knowing the company is trying to get a hold of them when they don't show up for their airlines. The only way the company finds out that they quit is the PM gets a Fed-Ex box that has all their stuff that they are turning back in.

Now that shows how bad things really are.

Now thats FUNNY!!!

Imagine dispatch frantically trying to call a pilot who's supposed to be on his way to work and the FedEx box on the program manager's desk ringing.

I'd pay to see that! :laugh:

Ask and you shall recieve. This is what it probably lookes like in the flops office these days. Fedex Box's

I bet the PM's must dread seeing the Fedex man. It's like their getting a "Dear John" letter.

I know that guys are told to send it USPS and put it on your last expense report. Ya right-I hear most guys are sending each item in its own box so there is tracking numbers for each item so FLOPS can not say you did not return an item. Whats that like 10 boxes per pilot? Sweet!

 

[Whoosh!]

Every time I see the title of this thread I want to start singing some Ace... "how long has this been going on..." It's probably what Sh1theadringa says when hears how many pilots are leaving per day. What an idiot. After all, according to the website, FLOPS "recruits and retains the best pilots in the industry, bar none."

Show some green my brother FracMonkey as I am here to make your day!

I just left Fed-EX/Kinko's a proud man with my head held high for the first time in MONTHS after shoving my POS BB and sh!tty game leather jacket in a box and sent it to clowntown priority overnight to head home in the morning a free man!

After the crap CGF and our tea-bag polishing PSM pulled on me the last few days, I had it. I refused to break the rules and be unsafe! I was directly told when I was hired that we will fly by the book and be safe, and that was the standard I consistantly held and never faltered from to the very end!

An interesting issue to ponder, Now that "M" can hire two new pilots with my salary to replace me, Who's going to fly his airplane till then? Don't worry and loose any sleep over this "trivial" issue as Sanjia's metrics will still show the airplane "crewed" with my SIC on FBO standby.

I'm off to have a well deserved beer!

I didn't even bother to send my stuff back in. I asked for a FedEx number multiple times, and never received one. I wasn't going to take the chance of sending it in and not getting paid. I even sold my BB on craig's list.
