What does (quote) "if you don't do what I want, you can leave" tell you?

[EMA gossip]

What do you want to fly the 76 or the 550? If you like working hard they will keep you busy. Word on the street is they have just got rid of their latest fixed wing chief pilot.... MW RIP

[Daysleeper]

If ya read Flight they pretty much have a permanent ad in there, Phrase "revolving door" spring to mind.

[gulfstreamflyer2000]

must read flight more often............ can only remember 2 ads in five years for fixed wing. Maybe I was sleeping the day it was in........

[JB10]

From what I hear they only take on captains, no F/O's

[NutLoose]

Have had about 4 Gulfstream captains in as many months, rumour has the first officers main job is air hostess..... treated one of their Engineers in everyones eyes dreadfully, leaving one to carry on alone, eventually collapsing with stress............. Chief Helicopter pilot and operations manager left...... sacked another Engineer after accident when rather than use one of their well known products they managed to demolish part of a building with the Gulfstream 550. "Returned" their JAA 145 approval... They main firm appears not to get its head round aviation and treats it all like a tractor facility.... New S76 due soon..

Have just moved into super new hanger facility... JCB family are well known as a ....................... their package I was told was very good, all the add ones, but you sell your soul for it.

[EMA gossip]

Hear another captain is on his way out the revolving door......

[Left Boot]

Don't know about Captain........ more like jumped up FO/hostie. Definitely he got what he deserved. Looks like things will settle down and they'll have a better work environment.

[heliwren]

For what everyone is saying it's a shame the JCB management didn't see through his games. From what I've heard this so called Captain was soley responsible for stabbing his Chief Pilot in the back, so I guess he got what he deserved.
It's a small world - he better watch out

[EMA gossip]

Yup, the door keeps turning, another one left today....... suffering from stab wounds to the back apparently. Steer clear if you know whats good for you.

[Left Boot]

I hear that although he claims he was stabbed in the back he was the one weilding the knife. So much for unbridled and unethical ambition.

Stay safe out there.

Stab wounds! I heard he was the one doing the stabbing.
What goes around, comes around! He'll be missed - NOT

[cooldaddy]

The idiot deserved to go by all accounts. Hope he won't be in GA anytime soon - Like never!

[DTY 116.4]

By all accounts, any stab wounds to this character are entirely self-inflicted.

[alright_pal]

How many of you slagging this guy off no all the details of the whole situation not many of you I'm sure..........or may be it's just mates sticking together.........

[flightlevelchange]

Hear Hear alright pal, totally agree,

Nice guy got stabbed in the back by others, all sticking together perhaps I agree

If this person has gone then that will be two in two weeks........ and three in a little over a month.

Three aviation managers in about ten months, including the one previously mentioned.

[London Derriere]

Capt F-R, wondered where thou art been?!

Lord HC, are you getting some bad vibes here? Are the words "touch", "don't", "barge-pole" and "with" spring to mind?

There's quite a few on here who do know all the details, listen to them.
