this is no union and i don't care about sticking together. it is a dog eat dog world. however, i would probably help you or anyone any way i could. and if i wanted a job bad enough i would undercut you in a heartbeat.

PS: we will all probably be working until we are 80.

Anyone who sees this as anything other than PFT needs to have their head examined.

As for the retirement end of this discussion, how are the rest of us ever going to get somewhere long enough to retire with people like this gem running around ? He is simply putting in the notion of sharing the type rating expenses to place his name in front of everyone else that is not willing to undermine their qualifications/experience in such a way...

And as for "continuing the dream," this kind of garbage is turning the dream in to a nightmare for all of us.

So your the guy they banned. I'm glad I kept my mouth shut.

If he wants to share his experience, he should get on with a frac or instruct at FSI. No one on here had better say a word about PFT from now on.

He has his retirement. The vagaries of the market are something everyone has to deal with. I got hosed by TWA and AA. Guess I have carte blanche to whore myself out because I won't be walking away with a seven-figure retirement. IOW, the frailty of anyone's retirement is irrelevent to this discussion.

Hey Illini! Looks like we'd better shave our legs and put on the mini-skirt and fishnets. Guess we all know what we are--we just haven't determined a price. TC

.....he posted it all publicaly(sp) all i did was paste and post....... by the by i got banned from recieving nbaa mail now cause i replied on their forum to what i thought of this guy.............

Not to bash here, but the guy did not post his information in a public forum. The NBAA forums are for the use of it's members, and the content shouldn't be copied to a public board.

It seems Semperfido has changed his mind on the subject and has gone back through and "edited" all of his posts. If you have been pursuaded to change your mind, admit it, it's OK. Don't go back and make it seem like you were on the other side of the fence all along.

AA717, I guess I'd better bust out the ol' school girl outfit. Any tips on how to really make my cleavage "pop?" I'd like to be able to hold the check for my half of my type without using my hands if you know what I mean.

Exactly.

Oh, man, that schoolgirl schtick does the trick! Well, so to speak...

If you want better cleavage, try putting on 40 lbs. and turning 50. Works big time! TC

no I haven't changed my mind. however, i did reconsider how i may have said something. is that a crime?. i am a free market guy. i have never paid for a type rating. it doesn't mean i wouldn't though. there is no level playing field. and union mentality won't help you. the guy in question is being competitive and given his probable age he is using tools at his disposal.

It isn't about continuing the dream; it's about continuing the paycheck. And apparently, the frailty of this guy's retirement IS relevant and influencing his decisions. Is he required to conduct himself and his career to other people's standards ?

just to keep the record straight......... it was sent to my mailbox as well as published on the forum......... i suppose you are right in hindsight i should have deleted the name but............. i didn't ......... i was so angry and shocked that a person of such caliber experience and exposure would be willing to that ..... it clouded my judgement for that i am sorry........ i am not sorry that i put the post on line though........

Wanting to continue a paycheck doesn't make this guy special, especially in this business. He was able to work a long career for ONE company and get to retire. And using that good fortune to undercut everyone wanting to do the same thing else is BS. By the way if your so concerned about everyone's retirement prospects you should be against this kind of thing to... Can I ask how you would feel if you were applying to this position for the hope of a stable long term position with a possible retirement and then in comes this guy trying to wheel and deal his way to the top of the stack by taking advantage of the fact he ALREADY has a FULL RETIREMENT??? He can conduct himself however he wants as long as he doesn't care who he p*ss's off in the process. Most reputable D.O.'s / Chief Pilot's frown on this kind of garbage and by the way most are on that particular board (NBAA Airmail)...

I do think it is wrong to put his name on a public forum. However then again he was asking for it. Is the NBAA Airmail really that private? EVERYONE I know in the business has access to it.

JEEZ, You Crack Me Up!!!

How in the world do YOU KNOW if the guys retirement is frail or not????? Quit making assumptions about someone else' economic situation. I would be just as wrong if I assumed that the guy has a $10 miilion pension and is just doing this because he's not ready for full-time golf yet. Maybe the strength of his package is what is influencing his decisions to "share" the cost of the type rating.

BTW, we are all in some way "required" to conduct ourselves to other peoples standards. I believe its called professionalism. Do you pick your nose in the cockpit, come to work unshaven or without a shower, wear wrinkled clothes, skip the pre-flight, check the weather, fly in or near Thundserstorms, think you know how to operate the aircraft better than the AFM. I could go on and on, but these are just a few examples of conducting ones self to other's standards.

And Ruhroa, nice job with the post, shows some big ones.

Do I have to answer that? TC

Yikes, Man !! I made no assumption about this guy's retirement. Financial motive was mentioned by someone as a reason why the guy in question was so interested in continuing to fly after his retirement. I was merely addressing that possibility from personal knowledge...not making any assumptions.

As for other people's standards, I was referring to big-picture, life choices as in whether one wants to fly during retirement, how he intends to go about doing that, and whether he must change his choices ( he doesn't ) when his methods rub some "other people" the wrong way....not whether he shaves before coming to work or skips a preflight.


Have a nice day.
