hmmm...dang I know I saw somewhere that a flexjet manager lied on the stand. i guess it was in a different article, or perhaps I'm totally crazy. I cant seem to find it so I obviously cant back it up.

I guess not any more.....

Wouldn't matter to me. They asked me to stay 2 years, I told them I would.
I don't need a piece of paper to honor my word.

nice spend 70,000 to not pay 5000?

Yeah, my thoughts exactly. The company was pretty much obligated to go to court as that's what they do.

Allen will have an interesting story IF he ever finds himself in an aviation interview again.

Always gotta look at the big-picture.

Here's a hypothetical for you: In exchange for those two years, they told you that you'd be a type-rated pilot in the Challenger. After you sign the paperwork they say, "Actually, no type rating, and you're going to be a flight attendant." Would that sit well with you? Would you stay on for two years on your word, even though they broke theirs?

"OK, you can be a pilot, but we still won't give you a type rating. And you're still on the hook for two years, because you promised." How about that?


Why should Bombardier be able to hold the pilot to his half of the contract, but he can't hold them to theirs?

I understand what you are saying, and if true, what THEY did was wrong.
All I know is Flex has met and exceeded all my expectations. I did my research before I applied, asked a bunch of questions, and took the job. I don't know what was the past, all I know is how they have treated me. And they have treated me fairly.
Did this gentleman get his type? I did not see that listed anywhere. If he did, I would expect him to live up to his obligation.
And, two wrongs still don't make the situation right.

That's why sometimes I wish I had gone to law school like Dad wanted......but I'd like to think I'm actually a human being and not a bottom-dwelling, scum-sucking leech.

I'd say you be singin a far different tune the day you find yourself needing one. (knock on wood):smash:

There's good and bad in all industry. Granted the %'s are skewed. But still good ones out there.
