who gives a s.hit what airlines like. I don't even think 135 helps at the majors.

The original poster might give a s.hit. That's who I wrote my experience for. Nothing is going to help at the majors for the forseeable future. But if the original poster of this thread wants to go to SWA, ATA, AWA, JB, or the like, the most likely path will be through the regionals, and 135 time will help get him a job at that level. Airtran requires 500 hrs pic 121 time just to interview. You don't care about getting a 121 job great, but somebody else on here might.

The right main gear retracted on the ramp on that airplane in DAL. two weeks later, aftert a fresh inspection the right wing comes off in Norman, OK. The poor pilot held the mic button down and screamed right up until he hit the ground.

the right lower spar cap separated, followed by the separation of the wing, in clear smooth day VMC.

of course the aircraft was airworthy when it left the Texas Air shop, the log book said so didnt it?

It wasn't a king air was it? I think it was a Cessna 400 and was a problem with the wing spar caused by the iron side of the turbo. There is an AD for Cessna 400s now because of this problem. Texstar wasn't that bad a place to work. I had fun, and the pilots were a good group of guys. Anyone know if Joiner finally got on with Airlink? Hope So.

where the initials of that pilot C Lo. I think I would shed a tear if I heard that happening.

GTA is a small family run company. I worked there for 1 year as requested when I joned. I had no idea how much I would learn about flying. I did the Hou - Dal run twice and night for 7 months. M-f, 3pm -1 am. 6 hours of multi per night. The epuiptment was ruff but the engines were well taken care of. Mostly because of Rox's power managenmt program that was in effect.

Here's what makes it hard for most people. Understanding that if you don't fly then the owner has to. He really has been doing it too long. And if you complain then you give bonnie a stoamch ache and she has too much to worry about with 15 other kids on her plate.

I came back to work for them for a few weeks after my corporate job fissled up. I would be flying for them today if they had a houston based run.

Get the job done and they will leave you be.

Dont worry Wingnutt, we can all see his bitterness. It dosen't take a rocket scientist to see that he probably couldnt hack it over there, got his pee-pee smacked by Bonnie and decided to take his antics elsewhere. Then realized he should probably clean up his act or Paul would do the same thing to him over there.

But you're absolutely right, it's funny as hell that one could claim that any of the three are any better or worse than the others. If you ask me, having three fatalities at one operator is a whole lot worse than making a few bucks less when the pay matches dollar for dollar to fly the same dam airplane.

Wingnutt was a lot more gracious to you than I would have been there, sparky. Or would you like me to use your real name as there aren't too many bufoons that failed at GTA and went to Texstar
