Republic Airlines or Nice Cessna 340 job?

Oh, and no company ever WILL live up to my expectations. But that's because I have very high expectations and if I ran a business I'd do it a lot differently. I may run it right into the ground. I may wind up running the best business that ever existed. BOTTOM LINE: I am a participatory leader. I take inputs from smarter people than myself and try to arrive at an educated decision. And I don't get my feelings hurt when I am told I'm wrong. Too bad Airline CEOs don't know that little gem.

The leadership eats last in the Marine Corps... Always remember that and it will get you far.

Again, It is where you call corporate a step back.

I think you are the one with the ego problem.

Again, I am content, and VERY proud to be a Corporate Aviator. My worth is not tied up in the size of my airplane.

How many RON's you do last month Dude? I did 2. all other nights I was home to coach the softball teams and tuck 'em in to bed. (Kids and wife) Oh yeah, made more $ than you too, since that seems so important to you. And I only fly my pittyful little Beechjet.

4RON'S this YEAR.. and where was your company on Forbes best to work for...I was disappointed that mine was in the high part of the top ten, and
ONLY company to be on the list every year since the begining. p.s. pay is part of that poll...

Who was on Forbe's list? RP? HAHAHAHAH! That's funny. I hope you are corporate and referring to that. No Regional should EVER wind up on any top ten list other than "TOP TEN PLACES THAT SUCK".

Another insightful and quote proving what an inner city high school education will get you. You may have fooled your employer about your education and ability to comprhend, but not here buddy, your peers can tell who you are. Would you like me to tell you who you are?

Your that guy who sits in IAD with is florshiem shoes and leather members only jacked and your gray hair that is leaning toward a combover hasn't had a good haircut in years. Your tie is 15 years old and your shirts are "great shape" 10 years ago, Your the guy in church that everyone knows as "the Pilot" but it bothers the shoot out of you when new people ask " what airline" and you have to go through your standard explanation. Your out of shape and tough guy at the same time (which I would gladly meet you person and watch you shoot yourself). Your the guy that everone in every setting knows your a pilot, and cant wait till someone leans the conversation toward aviation.. I may be a dickhead but you are so TYPICAL and Ordinary.

I can smell you from here......

You're cheap uniform......
You're cheap girlfriend.....
You're cheap life...........

That's what I was hoping.

I am glad you escaped. People calling you a total dumb*ss are wrong in that regard. You were smart enough to run away.

or skull

Call me by my name I don't care. Skull-1. SKULL-1 RIGHT THERE IN BIG LETTERS. EVERYONE here knows who I am. It's not a big secret and nobody cares any more. I got my clean bill of health and I am OUTTA THERE. Nobody in the Corporate world gives much credence to what Regional Airline pukes say any way. You should know that.

SEMPER FI.

It definitely went to hell and a handbasket when we went from 435 pilots to 650+ overnight. Let us not forget the terminated SAAB pilots (OUT OF SENIORITY no less). What a bunch of bullsh*t. "God Bless" our fearless leader said. What a jerk.

The people from 300 up were pretty cool when I got there but a LOT of them left and even fewer dared to stand up to injustice when they saw it. Everyone ragged on Bruce Perkins but that man stood up for me to the Company. So did four other pilots and three F/As. That's it.

I was always perplexed by how hated I was over there. I took a LOT of arrows on behalf of the pilots. I also did my best to stir up debate, to make people think. The only thanks I got for my efforts was having my good name dragged through the mud.

It's okay. Someday those guys who tried to sell me out will need a favor...



In the meantime... The boy is great. First grade. Smart as all heck. In Cub Scouts, flies dogfight sims like they're going out of style. Also have a three year old daughter who couldn't be cuter. I just hope she doesn't run into someone like me when she gets older. YIKES!

Wife: "Honey, Charlie's late getting home again."

Me: "She is? Where's my handgun?"

My wife is hot as hell and I can't complain there. Worked through our issues. All in all life is good. If I were still at CHQ I'd probably be divorced and in a mental institution. That place was like a fungus on me. ICK.

I work for a guy who puts *ZERO* pressure on his pilots. ZERO. It is a breath of fresh air.

 

[hellas]

I just have a good memory for things and remember alot you went through and I am so glad that things worked out between you and the family. Ane you know what they say about wives: "I wouldnt take a million dollars for her and wouldnt give a quarter for another" Good for you !!!

 

[LegacyDriver]

Thanks dude. The story isn't over yet. Let's hope it has a happy ending. FOR ALL OF US in this industry in fact.
