Question for Ex-Indy Air Pilots - How do you like current position?

[zkmayo]

I remember starting "Deliverance" and being able to do a LEX, DAY, or FWA round and make it back in time for the end. Good times.

Anybody not seen this?

We got stuck with one who came of the street flew f o a month and jumped the whole seniıorıty list and upgraded. Looks lıke with the last layoff he might be hanging in there close. Dıdnt ACA have a union what would have happened if you jumped the entıre seniorıty system and upgraded. i thought they preached integrity but iguess not.

Wow, what an outstanding argument for having a weak (if any) union and CBA.

Let me guess, if you were in his shoes you would have said this. "No sir, despite being furloughed, I really don't wan't to help out my career right now by being a widebody CA and getting some heavy/international experience. Go ask the next guy, maybe he will take it."

ACA/Indy was an experience that you simply can't fully put into words for someone who wasn't a part of it all. Oct 00 to May 05 for me - I think about my days in the 328 almost every time I walk out to my new ship. While I'm working with great people now, I've yet to see the quality in airmenship, personality, and "care" for the operation as I did as ACA/Indy. We didn't realize what we had at the time - the ACA/Indy experience was by far unique in aviation.

I've moved on to a fair 135 gig. No more commuting, a bit more pay (still low compared to national averages), great equipment, home more often, visiting places I'd never otherwise see, and best of all...no TSA security! While I miss the airline days - I'll never go back to 121 to what is now abuse of people at nearly every company in every fleet.

I treasure my experiences at ACA/Indy. I really learned how to fly there with some of the best CAs and FOs the aviation industry has to offer. I learned what it means to work with great people with ambition and drive. That place also taught me a great amount about me - learning "you" is a priceless experience.

Thank you ACA/Indy people!

"Independence was like the last few minutes of a long drive when the bus driver suddenly drops some acid and starts driving like a lunatic. Sure, it was kinda fun to drive really fast, but you knew the crazy bastard was gonna miss one of the curves and take everybody over the cliff sooner or later. "

3 of the ILFC ones are in IZAir in Turkey flying domestic and some international routes.

Everytime I go to YUL, I see the 4 ex FLYI birds sitting in the hanger near the terminal. Plus, looking at that tribute just made me more dismayed on how our upper management pissed away a potential great carrier. I only hope Tom Moore and Kerry Skeen never get another job in the airline industry ever again. But, now, they are laughingstocks

It was mismanagement
