Travel Management-Elkhart IN. ????

emspilot01, I don't mind people stirring crap to make management (who I think reads this) be aware of concerns that need to be addressed, but to get on and say the pilots are "poorly qualified" is just ridiculous and not helping anyone's cause (not that you work at TMC since nobody else seems to want to admit it either). We have to jump through the same hoops as any other company that requires the ARGUS "qualifications" and even get real checkrides when we go to Flight Safety and our 6 month checks. The pilots are qualified, just as good as one of the cool Netjets guys.

Demonspeed,
"poorly qualified" was a bad use of wording.Travel Management Company will never be able to pick up the more qualified pilots in the industry because they are going to fractionals and better charter companys.I really don't think that Flight Safety makes a big difference on a pilots skill level after seeing some of people who can make it through the training.If you pay them the money they will get you through the training.(This is any operator)
Fly safe guys!

Well where you said there was certain amount of abuse on the Beechjets from poorly qualified pilots... maybe "poorly motivated" pilots would be better wording. Unless we are plowing the planes on the landing, sideloading the planes, off roading through the mud, I would say that the abuse of the new beechjets is from either carrying a bunch of write-ups or just not caring enough to do maintain the cleanliness of the plane, which isn't being poorly qualified, it's simply not doing your job.
I guess my point is that we aren't all a bunch of lifers, barely qualified to go anywhere else. We are all very marketable and if something better comes along, we don't need to have the reputation as the company of beechjet pilots who are "poorly qualified". That's all I'm saying.

My sources are telling me three pilots have quit in the last week and there will be more losses in the next three months.(Mainly Captains and some First Officers)Travel Management company will have to worry about finding more pilots and my guess is that it can not be accomplished.This company is really struggling to find qualified people to fill the current positions because of the bad pay, benefits, etc.
Fly safe guys!

Well, if the acft are paid for, and the owner is a billionaire, bump up those salaries!

Well there are four 121 operators that just went out of business. I am sure some of them have the skill level to fly that tricky Beech Jet

I will graduate from the fifth grade just about the time you get through kindergarten for the second time.The site is to inform pilots not to make the same mistake everyone else has by working for Travel Management Company.(To answer your next question everyone is quiting by fall)The pay,qol,benefits all are the worst in the country. Most pilots were given alot of false promises during the interview process.
Sorry if the truth hurts.
Fly safe guys!

Cheers acapilot..... Really, what does Mr EMS have to do with TMC?
Also, If you have to qualify your input with "my sources say" then possibly you havent a clue!

 

[acapilot2003]

I just don't understand why people have to make everything their bidness.

EMS-

My sources say (being myself) I will not be quitting by fall. Run along now and play with your friends.

I think one post would have been sufficient,but then again you are still new with only a few post.

The latest on Travel Management Company is a fifteen day on and thirteen day off rotation.This would have captain pay at a whopping 65,000 per year and first officer at 45,000.It was shot down by most of the rational pilots with lives and family.

Fly safe guys!
