washing the plane

[NCherches]

...with the schedulers in wet tee shirts...

...You have good looking Schedulers?

 

[Chairman]

We have to clean "take the bugs off" each day we fly. If there will be an over night we usually have to wax before and after! Won't even get to details if someone really makes a mess or spills something.....I knew this going in and from the unemployment line needed to pay the bills...The annual training contract is another thing too! Until things turn around and there are more jobs than pilots this stuff will happen. Not forever just for now.

You mean they have to be good looking while wearing a wet tee shirt...

Another problem with our profession is that our "professionals" don't know the difference between "their" and "there."

or your and you're

I can only speak for myself, but I often find myself passing the time between trips with this thing I call a "Life".

Don't get me wrong, I think that it's great when someone doesn't mind getting there hands dirty, but one of the problems with people (especially in our profession) doing things outside of there job description is that after a while it starts to become expected of you.

I'm sure no one expects anything from you, so don't worry.

I know, I should go back to the maint. board where I'll be able to speak intelligently. Thats your standard cop out bs line that makes you feel so smart.
Just face it, your a loser. ha,ha,ha.

 

[K.V.]

Ok, little boy. Now run along and let the adults have their conversation.

Just face it, your a loser. ha,ha,ha.

You're a dumbass....

Your toughest four years of school must have been the 3rd grade.

...I'm a little bored on this trip and it's so nice outside - I wish I could wash the plane.

I have yet to arrive at an fbo and see an aircraft being washed by anybody let alone by pilots. I fly about 10 hours a month currently but I used to fly about 900 a year and I can't recall such an event. It must happen while we sleep or something. Wash ferry? All done behind closed doors?

And yet they're always clean...weird.

I don't think our company HES would like to see one of our pilots fall off the top of the Gulfstream trying to wash the tail. Our team of mechanics wash our airplanes, but the pilots help keep the inside clean.

Too proud, below my pay grade, I won't do those things you do for our boss, you are such a slave,
My question is to those guys, when does your unemployment run out? and do you enjoy construction work?

You make absolutely no sense!

Next time, wait to start drinking until after you post.

I don't wash the airplane but our mechanic does. I would wash it if that was part of the agreed upon duties. I work for an individual that treats us fine and I do much more that just fly an airplane. I am flying a new G450 as Aviation Manager, I paid for a portion of my training and I am not paid according to all the surveys. Actually, I am paid less than the low, in most cases. However, the job is secure. I am making over 100k a year. Living in a low cost of living area and have to fly about 200 hrs./yr. I had a former Air Force One pilot working for me one time who refused to put on the engine covers on the Falcon 50 because he said it wasn't his job. He didn't last too long. You don't want to wash an airplane, get yourself a good airline, union job. At least I have one.

I enjoy washing the plane from time to time... I am the only pilot for this plane and its essentially 'my bird' ... My attitude would probably change if the boss said "you need to clean the plane this week"...
