Worked for this shi* bag operation for about four years always promised a raise next quarter but never got it because the money just never came in. The owner of the company always seemed to award himself with a new harley or new pickup every six months though. You got your ass chewed out by the chief pilot if you wrote up an airplane with maintence issues because it would not be ready for the trip the next day. Would promise pilots days off and never give them. Would fire people on whims because they were trying to better themselves as pilots. Paided SIC in king air's $75 for 12hr shift... My advice stay far away......

tried listed this company on this website with no avail you try it though

The dirt on Buckwheat

Would You give this guy a raise? He couldn't even cut it as a line guy. CHI99LA080On January 31, 1999, at 1630 mountain standard time, a Champion 7GCAA, N9668S, operated by a commercial pilot, sustained substantial damage during landing roll near Alliance, NE. The personal flight was operated under 14 CFR Part 91. There was no flight plan on file. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time of the accident. The pilot reported no injuries. The flight originated from Alliance Municipal Airport, at time 1615, for a local flight.

According to the pilot's written statement, the pilot flew over a friend's house and decided to land in a field adjacent to the house. The pilot stated that upon landing, on the plowed farm field, he, "... proceeded to get on the brakes and there was just no grabbing between the tires and the dirt field." The pilot stated that he applied more brakes, and, "... all of the sudden, the tail came up and the airplane nosed over and flipped onto its back." In a telephone interview with the pilot, the pilot stated that the landing was made to the north.

Post accident investigation showed that there was substantial damage to three wing ribs, two wing struts, and the vertical stabilizer. A functional test of the brake system was conducted and no abnormalities were found. No other abnormalities were found with the accident airplane. Weather reports for the area reported winds from 150 degrees at 8 knots.

Cut the guy some slack...

Did it ever occur to you that he was late because he was stuck in a field next to a friend's house with a busted airplane?

Jeez, some people.
 
Thats true, I never considered that.


The funny thing is, now this is just word of mouth it may not be true, but I heard that he didn't own the aircraft. Word is he loaded it on a trailer that night, took it back to its hangar and tried to put it back together before the owner found out. He was hoping that the guy wouldn't notice, I guess. I don't know about you, but I think I might notice if my plane has been flipped over on its roof in a field, whether its all put back together or not.

Hehe, I couldn't resist ;)

Seriously though, did Silverhaw* finally get sold? Incredible. Would love to see a newspaper article on it.

Line guys...sheesh...like the one that called my CP telling him I was blocking a "taxiway" on a check pickup because I wouldn't park where he wanted me to (300 yards away from the drop box)...it wasn't a taxiway, it was on the ramp in a "non-movement" area-ie uncontrolled. Now had I parked in a taxiway and jumped out of my plane I would have expected the tower to call! Hell, I could have landed that sixpack in the distance he wanted me to carry 100 lbs of cancled checks! He sure as heck wasn't going to help!

He was doing his part I guess, trying to segregate the freightdog from the paying customers by sending them to the north 40...dipstick!

It's okay, idiots get all kinds of jobs at airports! Most get to have management positions in the end!

Doh! Did I say that???

Without the friendly line technician most pilots would be lost.The freightdogs are second class citizens at most airport businesses.Get a job flying passengers if that is a problem,but you might have to change your attitude.Line guys rule!

I can not stand line guys like you. You give a bad name to your profession. I don’t fly freight every day but when I do there is usually some A-hole prick who treats us like second hand ********************. Where is your professionalism, or is that what they taught you at Lineprick Academy. Just remember that some of us have the duty of picking what FBO we go to.
