New Chief Pilot for ASA

[bailout]

i also remember him telling us in indoc that we shouldnt get the leather jackets or zip ties or wear our hats up high, other wise we would look like the other "U-Boat Commanders" that work here.!

but the funny thing is, he was right on with that one..!

 

[whatitdoing?]

B.S. is a CP? This shouldn't be a shock to those who truly know him. He's friendly, but I can't think of any other person who drinks more kool-aid. He hid in the GO for years, so this is probably his move to accelerate his corporate climb. His goal is to be ASA's CEO. It's just one more thing on the resume. Expect ABSOLUTELY NO SUPPORT and getting offered kool-aid for refreshments. Sorry to hear this........

 

[whatitdoing?]

Hoser...are you talking about the same B.S. that I know? Besides a casual conversation, have you actually worked with him? Gone to lunch with him? Have you ever been behind those "locked" doors at the crystal palace? Well, if you haven't, you really don't know Brad. He's a perfect CP.....and loves kool-aid.

 

[www.]

My crystal ball says that once the contract is done that...
1. SH will take over CT's position. CT retires.
2. LS will take over SH old position.
3. LS will replace all current, except one, ASST CPs and CPs and make the, except one, the new CP.

Talk amongest yourselves.

WWW. I didn't realize when I talked to you last that was your "crystal ball....." Oh $hizzle my nizzle.

On another subject, I really like Brad. In my experience with Brad, he's always been forthcoming and I think he can unravel (hopefully a lot) all the crap Nelson took away from the pilot group (especially the Chief Pilots authority to do anything!). Brad's a good guy with a positive attitude and very smart. Let's give him a chance. Maybe, perhaps maybe, this could be a move that ASA is becoming somewhat, sort of, less micro-managerial? Okay, probably not, but let's see what happens anyways.

I'll go on record saying nothing but good things about BS (except that I love his initials). When I came back from my longer than planned vacation, it was BS (heh heh, I got to say it again) who personally spent a week with me 1 on 1 for my modified welcome back/company indoc training. I found him to be extremely helpful, fun to hang out with, and truly cared about helping me out.

I think we are lucky to have him as a chief pilot, and I have high expectations that all of you will agree once you've had a chance to deal with him. Let's give BS (heh heh) a chance.

That being said........BS if you do become a schmuck I will personally kick you Auburn A$$.

No to all the above questions. I'm willing to give the man a chance, but obviously most have had different experiences with him. We'll see very shortly. Besides, I only deal with BD and RC myself. But I'll try BS too.

Hoser
Roll Tide!

Fred L. was the nicest CP I ever interacted with. What a class act and he was always there to help out. I hope everything works out for him !!!!!

B.S. Give him a chance. If he screws up bury him with the rest.

 

[Dude]

Fred Lambert is a model for what Chief Pilots should be. I am very fortunate to work alongside several that are just like him. When I had any issue that needed input or resolution through CP office channels, I dealt with Fred and Fred only. If something needed fixing or tweaking, I believe Fred Lambert was and still is the most capable of getting the job done. Someone needs to set up a little fund and donate, including myself, and send Fred on a killer trip or buy him a cool toy. Tell me where to send the dough. His contribution to the pilot group in the last 6 years made ASA a lot more tolerable.

I think you're going to be 100% right on this one. My own "crystal ball" has LS moving into SH's spot, with SH's blessing. I know that both of them would like to replace the CPs.

Give him a chance

Let's give BS (heh heh) a chance.

All of the people saying "Give him a chance", this is why ASA is where it is now. Now matter how much crap is heaped upon us, we keep opening the door for more. Instead, why aren't you saying "Hey, how come some dude from the G.O. who has less line experience than 3/4 of our pilot group is now going to be a CP?" or "Why is the company installing a management person into a line pilot support position without posting an opening for the position first?"

As I said when I started this thread, BS is a nice guy, but that has nothing to do with his qualifications for the position. I've been behind closed doors with him at the G.O. and I can promise you, he is no friend of the line pilot(nor is LS for that matter). It was abundantly clear to me that both BS and LS think they're much smarter and professional than the rest of us.

On another subject, I really like Brad.

The fact that you support the Trojans kills any credibility you have, so your argument is invalid! I just arrived in SLC again, so I'll have to catch up with you soon!

It gives me more credibility you little punk! Gimme a ring, maybe we can hook up and watch the gauchos play, or swim, or freebase....Whatever it is they do anyway! Just Kidding.

And that, folks, is a great story of the soap opera this company really is....

I agree completely. I guess in some far off way, I keep hoping Skywest starts to implement their own people. I doubt it, but who knows. At least that would kill the good ol' boy network.

I take it back, BS is the best possible choice. He has honor, integrity, and the best damn smile around. Congrats........
