Is the Piaggio a two man crew or not?

Sure..... People who wish they were flying a jet can deceive themselves fairly easily. A shame.

How can you tell a jet pilot in a room full of pilots...........you don't have too, they'll tell you.

Or...if they're CS pilots they'll all be quiet for fear of ticking off their fellow pilots and thus jeapordizing their upgrade.

If flying a jet is of no importance to anyone, why is there such bickering and jockeying for position every time your pathetic company TRIES to bring a jet on board? Oh, I can answer that- jet time is what brings the bacon home.

The P180 is an awesome airplane- I've flown it a little and I like it. That being said, jet performance is different than " jet like performance."

On a different note, word is that the new money people over there are trying to get rid of your CEO. Any update on that?

Hmmm... I wasn't here when the Premiers came on board but I don't recall any "bickering and jockeying" when the Astra came. Can you give us some specific examples of this "bickering and jockeying" that went on when the Astra was brought on board? Since it happens "every time" I'm sure you can provide a plethora of examples.

I could, sir, but I can tell by the tone of your post that it would be wasted on you, so I won't bother.

If Avantair ever brings a fleet of jets on board, hire all the pilots that you need for them off the street and keep your current pilots in the Piaggio, and you'll find out real fast that flying a turboprop is not what most people aspire to. :beer:

how bout that Twin Otter, now thats one fast turboprop, the dash 8 is up there too or the q400 (http://www.q400.com/)

I think once the luster of any aircraft wears off at the end of the day its all about how much you are paid and the QOL for which you make it.

While I don't agree with some of the things you you say on this forum, and I'm sure likewise is also true. I do have to admit you have been correct to a certain extent on some of the rumors and questions you have asked. You have made many valid points and made observations that many have missed. With that said I believe we have many outstanding pilots and all have a stake in it being a stable and profitable company, after all we all have bills to pay and mouths to feed. While your comment of a "pathetic company" was offensive to many of us who still work here, I do believe you also would like to see this company succeed.
cheers

Translation: You have no clue if this "bickering and jockeying" went on. If I'm wrong, please give specific examples. Truthfully, I think this is just another example of you going out of your way to badmouth our company in any way you can regardless if there is any truth to it or not.

An intelligent and insightful post. I have known and still know many outstanding pilots at your company. As a pilot, I have no wish to see any company fail. When I said " pathetic company", I should clarify that to mean the lying, stupid jerks that are in upper management. I'm glad to hear that steps are being taken to weed them out.

cheers back

You can tell by my above post that I'm not an unreasonable person. The bickering and jockeying, phone calls, and bull******************** that have gone on in relation to who flies what and many other issues would more than clutter up many pages in this forum.

You've said yourself that you havent been there long enough to know everything, and that's the smartest thing you've said. I don't badmouth anybody unless it's warranted. Translation: You don't know squat.
