G-450 in IND this weekend?

[h25b]

Not trying to be a smart ___, but it is not real hard work sitting on a couch or in the back of a Gulfstream. I suppose it is a little different in a 91 operation where there is not regulation protection. 17 hours is a long time to sit around though. I think I would make it clear one way or another that these kind of situations would not be tolerated. After a couple of times, I would just go check into the nearest hotel. If he shows up, who is going to fly him home. After once or twice he would get the picture. Besides, I don't need a "careless and reckless" violation because of this clown. You know these guys would get one too when the facts came out if they plowed it in after take-off cause they hit some birds or something.

That is why I like boxes, they don't complain and I don't need a "thank you".

Sitting around on the FBO couch is NOT rest, nor is it even close to being so...

I am sure a few pilots have made it clear one way or the other that those situations would not be tolerated. Unfortunately, it sounds like there is no shortage of folks willing to fly the G for this wad until they get something better. He obviously knows it , as well. I would imagine the pay may leave a little to be desired. If history shows, crap schedules usually accompany crap wages.

Are these pilots the same Troy, AL LR60 crew that hit the deers on landing and almost burned to death flying November One Dallas Cowboy?

I'll get right on that DH. Thanks for pointing that out.

Many posts, sorry, obviously that is what it looks like when you post just as your high speed connection is going down.

I rememeber reading a story about the f/o. He got f'ed up pretty good, but recovered and when the story was written, he was working at FlexJets.

If i wanted a manual labor job I would have worn a hard hat. Of course it isn't manual labor but you obviously feel above the whole rest/duty issue.

I've done my share of sitting around fbo's instead of paying for the hotel room. Guess what sitting around an FBO isn't rest. It's a pain in the ass. Especially with the NetJeters talking about the contract.
