Pro's and Con's of Ameristar

[Justthefacts]

There should be a warning label on the side of every learjet that states( prolonged use may be a hazard to your health)

NO,,,,That sign should be on the door at Ameristar and say "Prolonged employment is hazardous to your Health and Certificates".....

Never worked there, but seems to me their schedule of being on the road for weeks at a time would REALLY suck! The last Ameristar pilot I talked to said they where working on that though.

It's not s much the on the road time. It's the crap they try & pressure you into doing like flying unsafe aircraft, breaking duty etc. Although I'm not so sure it's purposeful, more like a room full of idiots in dispatch. The aircraft are so horribly maintained that I can remember 4 times where I wasn't sure i was going to come out of it uninjured or not.

Pilots voting with their feet is one way to get management's attention. In today's job market the loss of expereinced crewmembers is not easily replaced. If they are smart, they will fix the turnover problem like USA Jet did 8 yrs ago, we have heard maybe they are pretty smart at Ameristar.

Well you heard wrong,,,, Monetarily speaking it costs the company a lot less to train flight followers and crew schedulers than pilots.

And pissed off pilots cost the company $$$$$ in extra operating and maintenance costs.....

Which would you fix.......
