As for the icing, maybe compay pressure / competition had an influence, but I wonder if *anybody* else would have really flown that afternoon. Careful there--yuo are making enormous assumptions about the pilot and situation in question! He was an experienced and competant pilot and you have absolut...

Jaques---writing your MP is worth the effort. If every pilot did the same right now they would likely pay some attention. Add in safety concerns at smaller companies where you lose you job and bond if you don't fly and teh MP's might really take a look. Even better, get a group of pilots to write th...

Except.....the crew DID tell ATC after taxing off and shutting it down (just off the runway) due to low oil pressure and QTY that there might be oil on the runway (from the horses mouth)!! They did not know that there had been parts strewn on the runway and the fact that they did not know is not a s...

Culdn't find that article in AIN, onlione edition.

No worries Birdshit----between you and corn crap there we have more
than enough crap posts to read on this forum.

Corn Crap list of anti Jetsgo posts is huge. I understand your resentment

My line of credit is at 4.25% and Jetsgo pays me 8.75%.

Posted this on another site: I had an interesting talk with a TC inspector today. But first, this thread is meant for all those WJ types that can't wait or resist bashing Jetsgo, especially about so called safety issues. The talk revolved around reportabe incidents and the first thing I noted was th...

I am Birddog, you rant about walking a picket line. Who cares! Have you ever put you neck on the line to RUN or START a union? Have you ever fought for pilots with managment? Those are the people who deserve the REAL recognition! By the way, where did this fuel emergency come from? I see nothing abo...

Well, talked with my friend again. He agrees that a strike is a bit of a stretch but he thinks people are upset enough to go that route if pushed. Said negotiations are still underway but it looks like they are not getting much--pay or conditions. That is pissing off most guys. The bonus--he clarifi...

Heard from a friend that the pilots are pretty upset with their contract. They also got, in his words, 'ripped off' on their bonus'. He got his since he has been there a while but they made a rule that you had to have been employed ON last July 1, 2003 to get the bonus. There is talk of a strike or ...
