Scheeringa's GONE!

[B19 Flyer]

With "friends" like that who needs an enemy?! He lied to reporters, publicly embarrassing the entire company, drove away key, experienced employees who had helped to build the business, and ruined morale. Quite the list of "accomplishments"...:erm:

As for profits, if he does get the boot he'll probably be dragging a golden parachute behind him as he slinks away. No doubt his contract provided for a lucrative ending regardless of his performance. How could I forget? Add disrespect to employees and hypocrisy to the above list... Then face reality. Dumping MS will be a smart move for FltOps. Just ask the pilots who work there, but make sure the ones you poll have a backbone and see things clearly.

You are one to talk. What are your list of "professional accomplishments" in the industry?

None, right?

That's what I thought. Another peanut gallery statement from you that doesn't have a day's worth of effort in the industry.

She is a woman of conviction, and she stands for what is right. She's married to a pilot that is active in the strong union. She's exposed to it everyday. I think she's qualified. Behind every good man.......................

Can we agree, 19 is just as qualified as NJW. They both are not pilots in this industry.

But at least NJW has friends and family who are pilots in this industry. So she has a better insight.

Thanks for the vote of confidence, guys! You are both right and furthermore, when it comes to sharing the family perspective on life in the frac industry, I am extremely qualified. I know exactly what it is like to be a part-time single parent. I have chalked up a long list of missed special occasions while my husband was flying and/or helping NJA out with special projects. And I will never forget how frustrating it was to make those sacrifices while my husband was overworked and underpaid as the FltOps pilots still are. They and their families will continue to have my support in their justified fight for a fair contract. NJW

FRACTIONAL PILOTS ARE PROFESSIONALS WHO ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR LIVES.
THEY SHOULD BE COMPENSATED ACCORDINGLY.

Go Forward - Towards the Door!

Don't Look Back

BV, if MS needs help packing up his office I bet there are some FltOps pilots who would volunteer just to expedite the process... while others (led by CV) line the hall singing...

Na na na na, hey hey-ey, goodbye!

Yea, all MS did for Flight Options was make us profitable. How dare he!

MS made us profitable, eh. He did this alone, didn't he Rupert? Flight Options is profitable simply because MS is at the helm. uke:

Our profitability was achieved with work on only one side of the ledger: slashing costs. And if you're really a FlOps pilot, you're feeling some pain from those cuts. Did we really need a former airline exec - MBA hack to be a cutter? I think not.

What is your outlook going forward, Rupert? Do you believe FlOps can maintain profitability under MS's direction? (I'd say under his "leadership", but I can't in good conscience use the word "leadership" and "MS" in the same sentence. This guy wouldn't know "leadership" if he tripped over it).

Who should answer for the massive customer disservices as a result of the incompetence in Owner Services and the OCC? I'm not talking about pilot-induced maintenance disservices. I'm referring to issues such as the blatant lying to owners on basic scheduling. Or the failure to provide a backup charter aircraft to an owner when the company was contracturally obligated to do so. Or allowing your COO to verbally abuse an owners wife. Most of the pilots can relate more than one discussion with outgoing owners who point the blame squarely at CGF, and it is a top-down problem. With MS at the helm any semblence of a "customer service" organization has gone down the toilet. I don't care how much he spews the words "team member" or how many million$ he spent on Ritz-Carlton feel-good training for the "team members". Truth is MS thinks he's still in a seat-revenue generating environment, which has little to do with the type of customer service our clientele demand. How wrong he is.

Who is going to answer for our woefully inadequate sales? Why have sales not materialized post fleet rationalization? Is it perhaps that we failed to offer an airframe product that people want to buy? And who signed off on hiring our current head of sales? This is the gentleman who is a former garage door salesman. Fractional private jet vs. garage doors. Yeah, that's close enough for MS. So, how's THAT been workin' for us?

If the yardstick to measure the MS's success is profitability, then perhaps he has met with some success. But if short-term profitability and lack of a true go forward vision sinks the company, is he still a success story? Or perhaps this has been his goal all along.

What say ye, Rupert 'ol boy?

I know what I say: Adios, MS.

 

[netjetwife]

Another good dose of reality! Very informative, Pro!

"...million$ he spent on Ritz-Carlton feel-good training for the "team members". All while underpaying the pilots...

He'd have done much better to put it toward a pay raise for the pilots and make a genuine effort to form a true partnership with those who serve on the front line of customer service.

Yes, how dare he. He showed a profit by emptying the warehouse and not restocking the shelves. Anyone can do that. Then they move on.

 

[netjetwife]

Great analogy, Turbo!
