JR had been using clear water and some additive (clear stuff) that was a sanitizing agent and smelled good. Then we got word a month or two ago to just use the blue juice. So, who knows what is good and what isn't? Does the blue juice actually corrode?

What's the final word on servicing the Lear 60 lav? Is blue juice okay or not? I was told by Bombardier and several pilots that it is corrosive to some part of the lav. JR got a memo saying to use the blue stuff.

What does PA say about it? Plain water or blue juice?

I called Walt and ask him what was policy and he really wasn't sure. He asked me to call Bambardier which I did. They said that JR was the only known company that wasn't using the blue juice. There is no limitation on using the blue juice and that was there recommendation. Some guys dont use it casue its a pain in the A$$ when that stuff gets on the carpet. Some say it corrosive but haven't heard of a case yet. All I know is flex and Bombardier are like brothers and FLex crews uses the blue juice. So, the reason walt put the memo about the blue juice was becuase there is no evidence proving other wise that we found.
 
Blue tabs are ok, but don't leave em in the airplane. We had a nasty nasty cause they melt in a hot airplane. A lot of the FBO's have them to just request them, but don't store them. I believe you can use what ever you want just make sure it doesn't smell like piss back there.
 
My interior is blue anyways. Spill on (just kidding).

Well, I have had more communication with PA+JR=New JR in the last week than I have seen this whole year. Kudos to Wynn and John for putting some info out. I'm anxious to see what comes out in the conference call.

Old JR guys; What schedule do your remote crews work?

Comment; This new JetRide name is going to screw us in HPN. The hotel there always thought we were with Pinnacle Airlines and always gave us their rate.:) I guess I could keep the old badge (as cheesy as it is). On the flip side, I will no longer have to give my three minute spill about how Pinnacle Air is not affiliated with Pinnacle Airlines. Sweet. I'm cool with the new name. Maybe we can get a new cool paint job. Something other than Turkey Turd Brown.

Things are looking up. I hope it continues.

Do the JR planes use bart4?
 
I lmao with the Turkey Turd Brown quote.

Anyways, the floater crews work a 8/6 or 9/5 schedule. Crew swaps happen on every Tuesday so your in position to fly on Wed. If you finish your tour on tuesday ealier enough you can get the 8/6 and fly home that night. If not you get the the 9/5 schedule and fly home on Wed. So, thats it in a nut shell. The other crews work on call 2 weeks and off 1 week. Thats the schedule I'm on and I would have to say if you like to be home, thats the one to be on. I over night about 3-5 times per 2 weeks. Thats avg for this summer anyways.

I knew that this whole thread was eventually headed straight into the toilet.
 
kind of an off beat question...

I wonder how those tird balls are feeling now, since they left to goto jet"un"select. Things did improve substantially since!

Also, I have been searching the internet, to find out why Dan Lucey got violated, with no luck. Does anyone know why?

Also, since the merger is a past event. Is Airnet going to go after those cheeseballs?
 
Can't understand why some of them aren't sitting in prison.
Isn't it illegal to conduct conflicting business while you're a cooperate officer of a publicly held company?

Also to take a client list or any reproduction is stealing!!
 
No but airnet is and they had a judicial responsibility to the shareholders.
You can not conduct business that conflicts with company interests with that companies assets.

Whew got out of that one didn't you? Just curious, why did you apply for one on Climbot350 then? I have been following this blog for some time and you come off as a yes man.

Do you know me. I don't think so but at least I got enough balls to show who I am. And If you did see something on climbto350 it came with a cover letter saying I am only looking for part time work. I don't hide it from my CP or DO they know I may do some side work now and then so mind your own buisness junior.
 
Nothing wrong with looking for full time work elsewhere either. The interviews I have gone on the the conversations I have had with a couple Part 91 outfits I almost went to told me how good things are at Jetride. They couldn't beat the schedule with enough extra compensation to make it worth leaving. I enjoy my family too much.

Wynn knows people will look around. He does have a problem if you leave and make a lateral move. Not for the reason one might think but because he dosen't want to be the kind of place pilots do not like to work at. He would like to have people stay until they land their dream job and along the way they get a nice low attrition rate and pilots who go out of their way for the customers.

Besides anyone who is a pilot and has been in the industry long enough should know a job can dissappear in a heartbeat you should always have eye open on the industry and be constantly networking.

So quit bustin' Dave J's balls about it.
 
Well put MNR. I lost a job a while back and I didn't have a finger on the industry at the time. I vowed I would never be so unprepared again so my family wouldn't have to go through that again. I keep a membership on 350 as well. This way I know what is going on. I keep my network running as well. I felt very secure in the job that I lost. Had no reason to think it would ever go away. I learned a valuable lesson that day. Would I leave this job? Sure. If it were to FedEx, SWest, or a very secure job in my home town with great quality of life, benefits, and pay. I don't see the latter happening anytime soon. As for FedEx and SWest. It's all a crap shoot there. So Ritz, if you want to bash me and try to stir up a hornets nest with my employer... go ahead. I'm sure the D.O. knows I have a membership on 350. But, guess what. That's how I found this job. Besides, if I wanted to leave, I have already had plenty of opportunities to do so. I chose to stay here. My check has been here and has always cashed. When I have been questioned about anything by our D.O. I have answered honestly and never have I had a problem with that. I recommend that you, Ritz, keep your comments to yourself. Especially if you do not work for Jetride or Pinnacle. To pick on someone is fine. To potentially screw their livelyhood with heresay is childish and irresponsible.
