The 35 is a real plane.

It's way more diffuclt to fly than any other a/c out there.
Especially the 60. It's takes skill, concentration and determination to fly the 35. Determination to stay in the dam thing. or just stupidity.


Hey Cheney......" go F*&$ yourself"
whooooooooooooottttttttttttttttt

 

[FL410guy]

LOL...Numb nutts crack me up. The thing is...WE ALL FLEW THE 35 and went on the bigger better things. Its a fun airplane no doubt but after 2 hours it starts to suck in the cramp cockpit. Also, how would you know its better if that's all you've flown? Ahh... Its ok little man, you're just feeling sad cause you wish you had a 60. And one more thing... The 60 is easier to fly, its great! Don't blow a vessel thinking to hard and don't worry... BED's times is coming.

P.S. I have a great pic of me pissing on Bill Clinton Birth Place sign on the side of the road in Hope Arkansa... I will cherish it forever.

I call "not-lav-bitch." You are displaying signs of latent homosexuality, here.


On thread topic, what's crackin' out there at "THE NEW JETRIDE!" guys? My plane just went on a Skyjet 6-month contract. WTF? I thought we were going away from those? Anybody hear about new planes, bases, uniforms, anything???

 

[starcheckdriver]

That sux about your contract, but on a suckier note....

Did any of the Jetride guys' paycheck this morning look a little too low for 5 days? Shouldn't the pay have been from 9/27-10/1, which would equal 40 hours of pay? If so, I was shorted about $200.

PA guys with direct deposit....Does Pinnacle mail a pay stub to you?

 

[FL410guy]

I ran the numbers and it looks pretty close. Taking account for the higher medical premium we are paying. I calculated 5 days with .18% taxes and another 125 for med and it came out real close.

payday

I just talked to LXP in dispatch and she told me that this paycheck was only for 3 days. Pinnacle runs salaried employes Mon-Fri. So this paycheck was only really for 9/27 thru 9/29. We will get the other 2 days on the next check.

Hope this helps.

I heard the same.

As far as the Skyjet contract, I think it sucks. My plane has been on it for almost a year and will be on it till April. I personally have only been on it for two months but hate being away a week at a time all the time.

 

[Rake]

Try two weeks on (lately more). You'll love it, not! I feel I'm deployed downrange everytime, because you never know when you're coming back.

This is misinformation. Here is Debbie Hutton's response regarding our paycheck today:

Yes, the checks for the pilots were mailed home. JetRide employees were
paid for 28.6 hours this pay period, which was computed as follows:

80 hours divided by 14 days times 5 (number of days left in the pay
period after close)

You guys were paid for 09/27, 09/28, 09/29, 09/30, and 10/01.

 

[AirplanesSuck]

How do you pack for two weeks? I just talked to a JetCorp pilot the other day (now part of JetDirect) who said they are going to a 20 on, 10 off schedule, with travel days tacked on front and back (so really 22 on, 8 off). You PA guys have been out for more than 15 days lately? Mandatory O/T? You should tell them to pay you O/T at the JetRide rate.

 

[Rake]

Pack for one week and do a wash. Who knows when I'm coming home. The 45's schedule is very "dynamic" right now. No comment on OT. This has been addressed before and no solution was obtained.

 

[Downwind]

OT, yeah, that's REAL funny. OT doesn't exist on PA property.

What higher med premium? We pay $2.00 a month at PA.

15/15 or 16/14, or 18/17, pack for 9 then wash. Our remote schedule sucks, no doubt.

 

[CFI4LIFE]

No OT? Best be airlining me back to base on my last day then, I don't fly for free. Ever.

 

[Rokit88]

Word! I turn into a pumpkin on my days off and the only thing that will fix that is MONEY!

 

[AirplanesSuck]

Companies like Pinnacle and Jetride do not need our charity. As much as they may want it, gaps in coverage are direct results of staffing and schedule incompentencies. I'm always glad to help out in this respect, but for a price. The idea that schedules can't be covered and the slack must somehow be picked up by those of us who have no control over it whatsoever is simply absurd.

Write emails to Wynn, guys. Tell him that it's unacceptable for a company worth millions and making millions in profit to ask you to work days off without just compensation. Reference contract pilot day pay. Be respectful... he'll listen.

 

[cl604driver]

i heard that the jetride cp got a g-4 type and told nobody???

 

[starcheckdriver]

i heard that the jetride cp got a g-4 type and told nobody???

He told anybody that inquired about his absence in the office. And before any starts to rant about the justification for him getting the type....Jetride's POI and some others from the FAA mandated that a member of management be typed in the aircraft prior to commencing revenue operations. So, it was either the CP or the DO.

 

[Ritz Carlton]

Pinnacle will not pay over time, in the past if a pilot worked one of their scheduled days off, the policy stated that Pinnacle was suppose to pay that pilot $100.00. As far as I know one pilot just resigned and they had not compensated him for the 10 days he had worked and that is a fact. There is no progressive pay scale in place and no overtime policy in place at present. They have lost 4 pilots in the 45 program in the last few months and that is a fact.

 

[starcheckdriver]

My guess is that most of the pilots from the former Jetride will not stand for working days off without compensation. As AirplanesSuck stated earlier, most are happy to help out the company in a jam, but not for free. We work enough as it is and value our time off. Working overtime without pay is just plain wrong and no company should expect their employees to do it.

Food for thought....I don't always need money for working a day off. Sometimes getting an extra day off the following duty rotation will suffice as just compensation.
