God it's great to see hats coming back to corporate av

 

[Flyboy Sabre 65]

I saw that. I don't even open the magazine anymore. SO GLAD we don't have to do the whole stars and bars routine. Just suits for us!!!

 

[Diesel]

actually i did enjoy the 50-150hrs per month. Pilots with little scheduled time off.

We're here to work......

 

[2000flyer]

A flight attendant on a Hawker 700??? Holy CRAP!

 

[Fokkerflyer]

Don't forget the namecards at every seat and gold framed and signed pictures on the return flight! Who are they, Chuck Yeager??

If they only could find the right color tie to go with that uniform, the're all set. I wonder if they wear the hats in the cockpit.





No, sad, really...

Nnnnnnnnnnniiiiiiiiccccccccceeeeeeeee

I feel sorry for anyone who has to try to come along and undo that mess.

No life outside of work. 24-7-365.... I bet there are 20 hour duty days in there too.

Pilots dont need no stinkin rest!!!!

Love the purple ties.

Someone please send that CEO some info on fatigue.

 

[been-there]

I would do it just for the "unlimited free car washes".


Love this quote from Nechvatal,

"This job is all about flying and we don't really have a life too much outside the job."

 

[Gulfstream 200]

There has been far worse in "ProPilot"..

although that 120hr+ month (am I right?) sounded pretty brutal....thats one sore a$$ in a Hawker 700 going .72.....ouch.

I do agree on the fatigue issue. 120+hrs for a 2 pilot operation is an incident waiting to happen. Scheduled service?...OK....91 corporate? no way. I would bet there were some 18hr+ duty days in there...nice.

I gotta say though....at least they seemed to take some pride in their work. - now if they dont fall asleep and hit a mountain some night....

.

 

[KeroseneSnorter]

120 hours a month hard time plus the normal corporate pilot paperwork and everything else. Brutal.

That would explain the picture........Nechvatal is probably only thirty five....he just looks 50!!!!

 

[Diesel]

Anybody remember the lear that went to europe and back?

Honestly though a 700? There has to be better choices out there for the same price.

Plus your cruising along at .72 the ultra did better than that.

If you really want to impress the clients use a X or something like that.

It sounds like they do some loooong legs.

 

[sydeseet]

You suppose this hawker is equipped with the same "berthable seats" that the Europe trotting lear is?

Sometimes it's laid on so thick you can't see your nose.

Who reads this magazine anyway? Many other free options out there.

 

[Gulfstream 200]

The 700 was their very first a/c purchase and it sounds like it paid for itself quick and they are already eyeing G's and Challengers......sounds like a success story for a small operation to me! -

now as far as those 120hr months and those dorky uniforms..well....cant help there..

Funny the Propilot threads cant go without mentioning that Farkin Learjet operation who flew to Europe, caught a few hours in the Bearthbale Lear 35 to save a few bucks, then flew home to Tahoe.....what a dip$hit operation that was!!!!....anyone know if they are still around (or alive??)

 

[Diesel]

Yeah but G200 if that's how they operate a 700 imagine how they will operate a challenger or gulfstream.

They will start to sound like the Dallas cowboys GIV crew.

I've never seen a GIV look like an CRJ with exhaust stain and all down the side.

That's it, Thanks! Just wanted to see this mess that everyone was talking about!

Oh Im sure....I wasn't defending the way they operate by any means....just that there is nothing wrong with a company operating a Hawker 700.

(as long as its not MY company...)

 

[Diesel]

Oh i wasn't saying the 700 was a bad plane I'm just saying for the mission they were doing it seemed like they were stretching it on a lot of flights.

It sounded like they were really stretching it.
