SkyBus gone tonight!!!

[weasel_lips]

Glad that experiment is over.

What about all the guys that went there that were saying, "need to do it to put food on the table" (while others were hiring). Bet their feeling like that line wasn't the right one to use. Now you lost time at another airline, and all the while were not making crap. Bye Bye.

Just because legacies are hiring doesn't mean they are going to hire everyone. And YES people need to still put food on the table.

I will sum it up in 2 words: F#ck Skybus!

I am glad they are out of business. For those of you that got screwed over with the whole ACA/Indy debacle I am sorry about that. However, you should have known better than to go to a place like Skybus.

Correction, there was a pilot shortage.

Seems it lasted about ten minutes.

Slow down there mvedepo,

Show me one post of mine that I bashed a Skybus pilot. Not one.

I don't like Skybus, never said I didn't like the pilots. Worked with most of them at ACA and trying to help the ones I can as we speak.

I lost my job just over two years ago too if you remember. ACA/Indy.

Re-read my post and insert your foot into your mouth.

Read the part where I purchased tickets on Delta for less then Skybus!!! You can read can't you?

Learn to read and go pick a fight with someone else.

Hawk Hope your able to help out J.A. he was a good guy to work with and fly with at ACA/Indy. I was sorry to see him leave NJA thought it was a Big Mistake but I think he still had eyes for big planes. Hope things are going well for you guys at VA.

Why is everyone giving in before summer busy season?

Cuz it might not be that busy....

 

[hawk996]

Hey mvedepo,

Sorry, Thought you were busting me out.

Popgoesbubble,

Wrong hawk but I know who you are talking about. Yes JA is a great guy and we are trying to help him out with VA, JB or anything else.

Sounds like some of them are going to see what they can find in China.

It's going to be a bumpy road, hold on tight!!!!!

MV..

Since you decide to mock my military service, I'll ask you to at least get it right.

Looking at my profile you would see my position as FO/FE.
I am a C5 FE, though I was a LM on a Herk (slicks and Talon 1's!) at one time. Either way... required crewmember though as an FE I do log my time as it's a flightdeck crewmember.

What service were you in?

I mock you just as you mock the careers of your fellow pilots. And as for my military background. I was in the army for 8 years. I was a machine gunner (M-60 and Saw). 2 of the years I spent as a drill Sgt training infantrymen in Ft Benning, Ga. So yes I did my time.

Look at the bright side:

No more fetching water from COSTCO to quench your crew.

First of all, they are not my fellow pilots.

Since you're ex-military.. I'll ask you this question. Is everyone who wears a uniform equal? You may think so, I differ.

Someone who serves, for better or worse during peacetime and war is held in higher esteem to me than someone who joins for the college benefits and then decides to disobey orders to be deployed overseas.

IMO, Skybus was a ploy by a bunch of managers and investors to see if they could run a airline, with no frills, no pay and minimum costs to themselves while trying to reek the benefits.
From day one, they used false advertising to get passengers.
Telling passengers that they were flying to major metro areas when in fact they were flying to outstations. They flew to Newburgh NY which is actually over 60 miles north of NYC!
They flaunted $10 tickets but in reality they only had a handful of seats at those prices.

And worse, they tried to lure (successfully) pilots with thoughts of PIC time or quick upgrades and stock options in lieu of pay.

Just because someone puts on a pilot uniform doesn't make him a fellow pilot with no consequences for his actions.
The few pilots that I know who went there are not people I would want to be associated with. And while there are over 110 other pilots there... I would question their reasoning for going there.

Have you noticed that NO ONE is happy/gloating/talking crap about the other 3 airlines that closed their doors this week. Why is that?


Always

PS> Are you an ex-Skybus pilot?

Hey motch, everyone knows that real pilots fly sideways. :beer:
