There's been quite a few corporate jets in the mud/grass/snow/or buildings (CL600 @ TEB) the last few years.

I wonder if you could stay there for $50 a night?

I had to sit on my hands. He even looked like he did not believe what he was saying.

I worry that we at ASA and some of the other regionals turn a blind eye to some of these issues thinking we are better than colgan or mesa. There were a lot of butt kissing comments on ourasa for brad's update talking about how good we are. The fact is that we have grueling schedules also and our maintenance hasn't exactly been stellar in the last year. Could be better, could be worse, that's all i'm saying.

The skeds could be improved but ASA's training and mtc are first rate. I mean that.

 

[SLUF4]

Yeah the training is good, but I seem to remember a bunch of our planes being grounded because we forgot to add some required inspection to new work cards. The point is that we have to stay vigilant and always be looking for ways to improve rather than saying "we're the best and nothing can happen to us".

Close.... instead of the homeless it will be foreigners on guest worker visa....

The only way to fix the problem is to legislate it.... of course the interest groups including consumers and airline will fight it (safety....)...

So who is going to win on CapHill... ALPA and its 53,000 member group, or the ATA and consumer groups with its 305 million member group (basically the population of the US). Oh don't forget the foreign influence on CapHill as well....

The problem is... globalisation has liberalized the world market all while regulatory law remains withing the state borders.

O ya legislating anything has really really worked! NOT Government is the problem not the solution...if they were not corrupt then perhaps but they are so get them the hell out.

He is a POS...he's as we say in the "real" job market a hider! He sits on the fence and tells people what they should do never really having done any of it, and never feeling the hit when it does not work.....never ever been in any position that he spouts of experiance of having....sounds like most of our govt......

What then do you suggest?

While it is good that pilots are getting an education on the types of people the exist out there... working the halls of Congress to ensure the pilot profession is what it is.......

At the same time... if pilots knew that there were tools like Cohen out there, they wouldn't be shocked, in denial and perhaps even work to counter the efforts of the RAA.


Would it be too much if I said...... Back ALPA or CAPA PAC?

There's the source of the corruption...TWA management. I haven't met a former TWA manager who wasn't corrupt to the bone, and extremely ANTI-EMPLOYEE. It was an integral part of their corporate culture, and they have infected the entire industry. ASA used to hire those guys into our management on a regular basis, and every single one was a weasel. It sure is nice to have had a seismic shift in management style.
