Nahill resigns as CEO of Flight Options LLC

[Heavy Set]

Sounds like the interim CEO (Scheringa) has some pretty good aviation experience with something like 10-12 years at USAirways (during most of their good years). My understanding from reading about him is that he spent a lot of time in different departments and has a good understanding of operations, labor relations, marketing, customer service, etc.

Yeah, but people will say his experience running Metro Jet was not a good one - but at least he gained valuable perspective and has hopefully learned from his mistakes... What do you think about him?

Not a word...

I'll keep my mouth shut for once and cross my fingers. Best of luck to the new guy. Make us happy and we'll do the same for you.

 

[waveoff]

okay

I'm done keeping my mouth shut now! It's about freakin' time they put someone else at the helm with at least SOME aviation experience. Hey Johnny, did Raytheon give you that nice severance package I mentioned in the other FLOPs thread? I have to apologize to you though. I said that you would first run the company into the ground and THEN collect your multi-million dollar severance package. I'm glad I was wrong about the first part and you didn't take us down with you. Good luck at your next position with Mother Raytheon. So what if aviation wasn't your thing? I'm sure you'll find something you're good at. Everyone does. Now if only we could get rid of the rest of the clowns...

So anybody heard how the Board of Directors meeting went last week? Who answered all of their questions? Nahole was supposed to report to them, but he bailed out beforehand. Inquiring minds want to know.....

Scheringa (sp?)

At least he's off to a better start. Kept his word and updated the 'weekly' company message.

Re: Christensen leaving?

From what I understand, yes, John is leaving. He's wanted out of the DO thing for a while, but they wouldn't let him just go back to being a line pilot. I hear he's taken a position in Calif...not sure what capacity.

What a bunch of whiny, spoiled babies.

**CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED**ty Hotels? Crappy Maintenance? Less crew Meals?

You guys need to get back to your roots and appreciate what you have. Go fly 135 freight or instruct, relearn what the real meaning of crappy is.
