Really Need Ya'lls Advice!!!!

[CAVOK69]

Funny about the remote control! And yes, several times I have had to say " captain in the plane buddy, not outside of it."

But I appreciate all of your advice, I have a decision ahead of me for sure. The company is all part 91 and this is their only plane so no duty regs being broken. The things some companies do to save money.....

Hopefully soon I will have some options come my way.!!

Ace ... I've been reading some of your posts and I just do get you on this one. You have been around and seem to be a moderating voice of reason. (unless we are talking about NetJets )

I am just trying to figure out if you are serious or just trying get some sort of reaction from other folks.

I know. I don't know why, but I just can't stop reading about NetJets. You must admit, it's the most dramatic thing going on on this board.

As for this thread, I am completely serious. Just like people stepping over dollars to save dimes, pilots sometimes focus on things that really have no bearing on safety and hang the 'safety' hat on their own personal hangups. I'm just a real practical old pilot who likes to cut thru the crap.

I don't think I've ever had anyone come on to me before on flinfo. I think I'm blushing!

As flattered as I am, my hubby also has a screen name here. Better keep it under wraps lest I be banned from the internet forever.

The problem is that Ace thinks chicks who fly Citations and drive Bimmer convertables are easy... TC

I have to strongly agree with Gulfstream 200 here. I can't believe the whole room sharing deal either...and I have spent way too much of my life bunking up on an aircraft carrier... not even close to the same deal. BTW, that's one of the many reasons we smarten up and flock to the civillian side when we get the chance! But, I digress....

I fly 121 now, and even the greenest young F/A gets her own room, just as nice as the captain's. I can't think of anything worse than being forced to be stuck with a tool 18 nights a month!

No, I just think they're HOT!

English and I go way back. Her hubby sounds like an ok guy, flys for a regional, though.

Uh oh...someone that knows me, and I don't know him!

Now I'm intrigued...hint?

DOnt take the MU gig.......You only desire it right now cause you are unhappy with your current job. Hold out and take the 3 months you have left to look for a flying job that you will be happy with and hopefully it will be closer to home. Dont jump on the 1st thing. Something good will come around, but you have to look hard....it doesnt just fall into your lap like some pilots think. Good Luck!

PS Put his hand in warm water when your bunkin up.

Usually the room-sharing thing is a control issue, not a cost issue. I know a GIV crew that has to share a room. They stay at very nice hotels, and whenever possible do get suites for that very reason. They've also had at least two pilots quit over the policy.

I think there is a decent safety argument to be made, however. And there is certainly a QOL argument!

My bet is that if the company is so cheap that you have to pair up on rooms then I'd also bet that they ain't going to be booking them into the Residence Inn or any place with the word "Suites" in the title. More like a $39.95 budget motel with cigarette burns in the bed covers. I bet that the best that they can hope for is two queens over one king. Am I right?

he snores really loudly! it wakes me up a lot, but i just yell at him till he stops

Yall are right, to hell with the MU-2 job. Ill keep looking!!!

 

[semperfido]

Jeeez - my wife won't even sleep with me when I snore. You need to have a diplomatic but firm discussion with the higher ups. ask them if they would like to sleep with el capitano.

Ace, next time you talk to your mother, ask her how I taste. Now, STFU!

I just keep laughing my rear off reading these posts!! Hey Hawk, you ever been on an aircraft carrier? Sleeping in little bunks with a bunch of other pilots, showering, sh$ting, shaving, all in public. Do you think they can't go fly a good sortie? Get the collective sticks out of your a$$s. There are bigger issues in this industry than snoring. Is this really what a group of pu$$ys the pilots of today have become? Get over yourselves.

Ps. Don't fly broken airplanes and don't bust minimums, for anyone. You'll be just fine, kid.

Wow.....and the ref takes a point away!

 

[HawkerF/O]

No doubt, it ws a little harsh, but if he wants to get nasty, then lets get nasty. This is not the 1st time I have had a run in with ACE and if he wants to bash me just bacause he sees an opprotunity and not because the point I make is without merit, ok, but hang on; he just needs to know that I, unlike the guys he flies with, will not put up with it. Ace: pack a lunch because unless this stops, we are gonna be here a while.

Wow.....and the ref takes a point away!

 

[CapnVegetto]

don't blame ya there. I've already had to rebut him once in this thread.

 

[MEMfis]

I've been in the same position (depending on what his captain likes-maybe not) CAVOK is with the room sharing, and have since moved on. Only thing worse than this is flying for free because they are doing you such a favor.

Is it cool to spoon with him if he is friendly?

Nice. My mother passed away this year. I find this in very bad taste. Although I may have had disagreements with you on this board (I truly don't recall), I have only come at you ON SUBJECT. These sort of unrelated insults are weak and really do not lend themselves to establishing your credibility. I did not (as your post seems to suggest) single you out on this thread. Read all of my post. You are just one of the misled misleaders to whom I responded. This thread seemed to be full of pansy-a$$ pilots who wish to mislead some poor sap who is trying to get some advice on how to move on from a job, not on the virtues on sleeping alone.

It's hard to take your personal attacks seriously, as you do not know me. Take you shots Hawker. Please. Just try to attack my logic, not my dead mother.

Guys,

let it go.

Share a room on the road, kiss and make up.

Save your employer a few bucks.

Its perfectly normal

 

[G100driver]

Just wondering: After the captain fart's does he hold you under the covers until your eye's water. If the answer is yes, it is definately time to brush up that resume.

Ya'll need to lighten up here.

 

[HMR]

Ahhh yes... The old "Dutch Oven".

 

[HawkerF/O]

Ace, just watch that mouth of your and we wont have these issues. I'm done, I just hope you are as well. If my note stings a little, tough $hit, as that was my intention. You have infact singled me out on this post and others. I am a pu$$y pilot because I dare suggest a guy be able to have his own room because getting woke up throughout the night by some snoring guy is unsafe? What on earth was I thinking? Like I said, watch your tact, and we wont have these isses. So Long.
