Should I fly for this guy?

[Lead Sled]

He has had people quit flying for him while they were out on a trip, and found their own way home cause they didn't want to fly with him.

To quote Dr. Laura: "And it will be different this time because?"

There is a guy that flies a King Air 200 from the airport I work at that is looking for someone to fly right seat for him. He wants someone to help him clean the hangar and the plane, and in exchange, I get taught how to fly a King Air 200, and get some right seat time. I have no problem doing some cleaning, and he said he'd teach me the ins and outs of being a co-pilot.

Here is the kicker.

No one wants to fly with this guy. He has had people quit flying for him while they were out on a trip, and found their own way home cause they didn't want to fly with him. I've seen first hand that he can be a total jerk when I've had to deal with his airplane. He treats all the line guys like dirt.

Also, I talked to him for a little while today, and he was explaining how I'll need to look like a pilot, and how he has owned a rolex since he started flying because that is how he saw pilots dress, so he started doing that. He also went on and on about how pilots don't have goatee's (I have one, so I guess I'd need to shave it) and need to wear long sleeve shirts, etc etc.

I'm wondering, should deal with his BS and get the experience, or should I stay away? I don't mind doing some grunt work for some flight time, but I don't want to be treated like a peice of dirt.

Its about personality.... I have a good friend who flew for the navy and he was very militant.... he didn't get al ong with a lot of people while I worked with him be he and I got along fine..why?? because our personalities were similiar.... OK yeah, the guy seems a little OUT THERE but I haven't met him and who knows, it may go well for you 2.. hell fly with him for a lil and if he annoys you, say thank you for the offer but im not interested and leave....

this may be a blessing in disguised...

just my 2 cents good luck

You can tell a lot about a guy by the way he treats people he deals with in every day life. A WHOLE lot.

I ran a fuel truck over a briefcase containing a Rolex once.

Holy Crap.

Should you fly with this guy....hmmm, should you let a thousand scorpions sting you? Should you leave the milk out in the sun for 3 days then drink it? Should you drain the oil from your engine then drive it across the desert? Should you have unprotected sex with a dirty transvestite?

If you answered "yes" to any of the above questions, then you should fly with this guy.

So now I gotta stop having sex with my "girlfriend".

Double Scumbag on the rocks

In almost all situations, the customer (or owner) is paying for a second pilot, so this guy is keeping the money, which makes him a scumbag. If he isn't willing to pay you, AND he wants you to do work around the hangar, he is a double scumbag.

There are a lot of "opportunities" like this around. Most of them have a couple of problems, but this one has nearly all of them . . . . don;t worry, a less crappier opportunity will present itself shortly.

As someone else pointed out, you are also putting your life in jeopardy flying with some of these clowns . . . to say nothing of your certificate.

Listen to that little voice. 99 times out of 100 it is correct. RUN FROM THIS GUY!

Let me guess, your talking about Phil at KFXE, he's a complete loser.

Pilot don't have goatees for only one reason. The O2 mask will not fit tight, the reason that the airlines and FAA frown on it. Many European Airlines allow facial hair, I am sure the US will follow. You should've seen me when I was flying the bush, mice used to hide in my facial hair, the little white ones. FXE--yikes---that airport is only 2.0 miles from my house.
