Virgin America - April 14th class.

[mvedepo]

I had a MAXJET F/O on my j/s.He was saying the exact same thing 2 weeks before shutting down.
Not wishing ill to you guys ,don't get me wrong.but i stopped bieliving in airline managements many log books ago.becareful with the kool aid.

Like I have said before. An aviation career is like playing poker. You play the hand you feel give you the best shot at winning. I like my hand.

Ohhh man. The last sentence above and the title of this thread... so-o-o many-y jokes-s-s

 

[mvedepo]

LOL. Yeah I guess I walked into that one. I like my "poker" hand.

 

[GuppyPuppy]

I like my poke her hand too.

Seriously...we've heard this before. Twenty-five years ago it was America West. Eight years ago it was JB. Today it is Virgin America.

The things all these companies have in common is that they all morped into (or will) a place that doesn't believe all of managment's empty promises. Their job is to motivate you to work for less and less. It has happened time and time again throughout history.

Enjoy VA for now. Being a part of a young company is exciting.

In eight or ten years when you are a somewhat senior captain thinking things are rosy and your F/O is ticked off because upgrades are running at 8+ years and he can't get a COLA. He/she will have a different perspective on VA. So, you may very well be flying with a "life sucks" F/O someday at VA.

I loved my three months online at evergreen. The day i started ioe i was planning my exit. Get the heavy time and get out! I got the furlough exactly 13 hours after coming home from my net jets interview. It could not have worked out any better and i am very thankful for the short time i had at evergreen and the opportunity to work with such great crews. No looking back now..good luck to all who remain at evergreen and too all who aspire to climb the virgin ladder!

[jke406]

You'll be singing a different tune, sonny, when you grow up, get a job, and realize places like VA and Skybus are driving down pilot wages and QOL.

Good luck to you.

There is a HUGE upside to this company. I honestly believe that Virgin is a great place to be and the future looks awesome!

And oil is at how much?

[Colonel Savage]

That car looks familiar, Have I seen it around the JB
training center in MCO?

That's a rather common looking veehickle, sir. Could belong to one of maybe, 10,000 people??

 

[jke406]

jke406,

Where do you work?

Based on my fairly obvious views regarding VA, I think you can be fairly sure about one place I don't work, and never will.

Don't be a coward. You are extremely quick to put companies down that are "below" your standards. What do you have to hide?
I have no problem telling you where I have worked:

-Ultimate Aerobatics USA - My company
-Skyway Airlines
-Evergreen
-Frontier
-Virgin America

Now I am calling you out. Man up and let me know a little about you. Quit hiding behind quips and insults and tell us what company is good enough to give you a paycheck.
