Martinaire Has Bought Mid-Atlantic

[I Hate Freight]

Well, it's a done deal and is supposed to be completed by the 1st of May. Mid-Atlantic pilots will be receiving a detailed notice shortly. I'm not sure what will happen to the guys at Mid-Atlantic. I assume pilots with regular runs will be safe in their base cities. I understand the floaters or "standby" guys at Martinaire must be based in Dallas or San Antonio so MAF's floaters may have to relocate.

This is not a merger, it's an aquisition so Mid-Atlantic will cease to exist. Mid-Atlantic pilots will have new bosses at Martinaire and nothing further to do with Mid-Atlantic or Atlantic-Aero.

Also, There is talk that the Mid-Atlantic pilots have to go through the entire Martinaire training program for insurance reasons and have to sign a training contract in order to keep their jobs.

Anyone have any "actual information" other than rumors?

I HATE FREIGHT!

dont worry man, with an attitude like this...

Just tired of breaking my back for the past three years, sleeping in sh*t holes, working horrible hours, being filthy at the end of every day, eating out of vending machines, being treated like dirt at FBO's.. etc.. etc.. etc

This work makes you a great pilot but gets old...

I HATE FREIGHT!

...you wont be around long enough to notice the changes. MRA has a way of weeding thru the pack

You're right! Let me adjust my attitude:

I have LOVED breaking my back for the past three years. I LOVE sleeping in sh*t holes, working horrible hours, being filthy at the end of every day, eating out of vending machines, being treated like dirt at FBO's. Three years of this is nothing! I want more more more!! Hey Eagle, don't call me!

Funny, you don't know where I work, LOL! I guess Martinaire can hire only the best for $78per day!

I LOVE FREIGHT!

It's obvious Martinaire and their pilots are doing better than Mid-Atlantic WAS. If I were you I would find another job becouse you wont last long with your attitude. I can guarantee it!!
