IFL is advertising on climbto350 for Falcon captains. Why do they not upgrade from within?

cheaper to hire a type rated guy.
 
I don't work there so I'm not entirley sure but from what I understand they have hired low time FOs in the passed (less than 500tt). This would create a situation where they may not have anyone eligible for upgrade.(insurance mins) I'm sure they would rather promote within, but who knows. The Company I work for hires a lot of street captains also. It usually makes for a really happy work atmosphere. lol

I have a friend over there that explained this too me (the work atmosphere that is) but what I don't understand is why would you be pissed at the Captain, and not at the company? The guy that took the job did nothing wrong, and the company is just looking out for its bottom line. I'm not saying its right, but I'm saying I don't get why people would dislike the captain. I don't know about you, but I want to have a good time with the people I go on trips with.

We usually get pissed at both, apparently being a d-bag is a requirement for a street Captain at our company.

Damn that has to suck for the guys that have put some time in though...one thing-do they respect date of hire when you upgrade? Cause those street guys are screwed in the end if they do!
 
Yup, aviation seems to attract D-bags. Sorry, that must make the trips suck!

lol don't, you never had the honor of having me pull gear for you, I'm talking Falcon guys, one in particular. The stinky one.

ahh, the stinky one. He possesses all of the qualities that you DON'T want to see in a pilot. Can't fly the plane, zero CRM and he smells horrible. Always makes for a pleasant day flying with that guy.

They didn't used to, not sure if it's the same, but guessing it is. From my expirence unless your in a union, hire date doesn't mean squat.

Just makin' sure... ;)

If things go well, you might one of these days. Been wanting to make the transition to the Falcon for a while, hopefully it'll work out.

And as far as I know, I don't stink... Hopefully someone would mention something like that at some point during a trip. :D

No, this guy smells so bad that when you fly the plane after him, you stink for a week. The other joy of having this guy around is the part where he lounges around the company apartment in his blue speedos that are 2 sizes too small for him.

OK, I'd have to say something at that point. What do the other Captains at the apartment say to him?

How about everyone carry cans of Ozium and spray him every time he comes by?

:D :D :D
 
So, where is IFL's Ad for Falcon CA's? How many are they looking to hire, and will they be based in PTK? MFE? PIL? MIA? SDL?
