No need for personal attacks lyndon is a nice guy,the problem with AT&C and Sky-king is that none of their managment personal have any real airlines experience other then what they haved picked up along the way,going back and fort to Grand Turk, which is not much, when experience airline personal do show up there to work they get treated like kids,underpaid and end up pissing off within months,I have always wished them the best and I am very proud of what he (Lyndon) has accomplished over the years.....

I also like Lyndon, I have no personal complaints against him. He has always been fair with me. He seems to have a new GM, maybe this will get things up and running.

Lyndon is a crook. Plane and simple.

Roger Murphy (who was with SkyKing) is a highly experienced airline professional.

There are good people there. Lyndon is not one of them.

Yes I agree Roger. M was an experience guy,and a great guy, actually the best guy there, but he was not in a position to call the shots, Skyking knew he had the experience so they had him running around doing small jobs like head of the ticket agents...he should have been the general manager there not the do boy....

Lyndon never crook me out of anything.

Hi A&T crew. I got I question from chief pilot Mendez when I could come and work for A&T(he asked me in June). But I havent got any answer back from my mail. Does anyone know if A&T needs pilots now or not?

Hugo Mendez is a great guy. I am not sure how much power he controls.. I suspect very little. Lydnon likely found someone there to replace the candidate Hugo picked..

Are you not reading the above.. he doesn't pay..he will screw you over..he LOVES naive folks that think everyone else is wrong...Dude DO NOT BOTHER.
He will NOT get you a Work permit (it costs $$), license doesn't matter because for the most part the aircraft are not really airworthy..The place is a joke..they just churn thru pilots at about 1 every 6 weeks (it takes that long to realize you won't be paid.)

I watched it for a long time at another Turks company that did pay.

Air Turks

He does pay and he pays on time...I do not know one person there who has not been paid. For me LG is absolutely the best, I would rather work for him in the Turks than most other outfits that I do contract work for.

From the horse's mouth.. it didn't happen to you as an outside contractor, but believe you me, I saw many a pilot screwed over by him when I was working in the T and C.

I returned to Provo after that quoted post. I was still paid, I was not an outside contractor. I still stayed at the Comfort Suites and he still paid. For me, this was a great opportunity. Slow there right now but I go back again in the high season.

Air Turks

Why am I treated differently in Provo? I didn't know I was. Of all the times I have been there I have yet to have someone complain to me. As far as ANYone wearing a skirt! Funny, to me Lyndon is like a son, I am pushing 60 and would hardly be anything other than a responsible and reliable contract employee. I have ALWAYS been paid on time, I never complain, I get the job done and I thank him for the opportunity. Plus, I am always invited back. For me personally this is one of the BEST places to work. It is always fun and always a place I want to return to.

I will stand by Lyndon and Air Turks and Caicos. I would cancel any other contract if he called and needed me to come back. Maybe being the flight attendant instructor vs. a cockpit member is an entirely different ball game...but for me it is one of the best opportunities and I would be on a flight in an hour to return if he called.

ContractFlyGal was it you that SXGuerra mentioned in their post? I Can’t say im surprised if its true that Air T & C didn’t pay one of their crew.

No, that is not me that is mentioned in the post by SXGuerra. It is Luz, a flight attendant from Paraguay. I am not sure but believe that Luz took an emergency leave to take care of her mother. She was to return to the Turks in November, LG did not have her return. I really don't know anything about the money thing. All I know is that when she contacted LG to advise that her mother was better, he did not make any arrangements for her to return. She had not completed her contract, so am merely guessing that he owes on the contract and maybe vacation pay.
