Tap Still Open!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes thatīs the true & it seems itīs going to continue wide open, Pilots just waiting replay from "COMPANIES" 
, "No Joke" 
, "donīt be surprise of the exodus" itīs just a matter of time 
, so my frings I guess CAA will be increasing duty & flying time once again 
, so donīt even worry about busting flying time, youīll have a wide margin 
, that will come even B4 the 10% & B4 christmas.

Well Well Well
Howdy Boys, this room is heating up. So much being said, its quite entertaining. WAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW. Well I have an early report tomorrow, got to go. Remember, please be balanced when making any statement on the www. You never know, the scale may now have a formidable weight to tip those exaggerators overboard.
P.S. Please dont bother to call the voice mail, or look at the roster to see if I am for 0600 or 0700, it wont help.
Mirror! Mirror! on the wall, who is the phantom who is going to repaint this wall.

10 Percent
Rotorblind,
Who mentioned that any newcomers would get a pay increase ?
The increase in salary was a reward for the existing crews !!!
I would think it foolish to expect The west wings obligation to any further increase to all, given their apptitude for individual negotiation.
Did anyone recieve written confirmation of an increase not to mention any additional increase ?
Food for thought !

Vida Loca
Yeah I heard about "mi amigo's" resignation.
Well considering the CP is such an excellent and supremely experienced Training Captain, Line Training Capt and all round over qualified being that defies belief, (except when it comes to a sim check in the company of the CAA inspector) Im sure it must be within his remit and capacity to promote at will.
I hope there is no suggestion of favours or other immoral inducements to facilitate this promotion !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just a little input from the CP !
Doubles - Bring it on, with pepper ! dont be so transparent !
Scale is about to swing ! "BooHoo" ............WTF ?
I think we all look forward to more of the reality at BCL

What's Up?
Well yes, another one is gone; well thats how life is.
Venom seems to be the word for the day my brother, well seems to be the word off Scottish ### life. Yes I agree something has to be done considering that whats going on is far from being professional. As I said, I am taking no sides. I am kind of feeling it for all the crew members who have toiled for the last 5+ years and remained with the company though.
Its not right for ppl to leave and now come back with better benefits. I hear that local F/O's and SFO's will be pissed seeing that Mr. Red Head coming back from his Junior-Puppet-Stringed CP stint from down in Gal, and will be getting perks upon perks. I feel it for the committed crews. Again I say, that it's NOT RIGHT, Wake up west wing, WAKE UP. This type of demoralizing initiative will make committed men and women flee in droves.
However, other issues:
1. While expats are not provided with housing, they are provided with US$1000+ per month, which is well within living comfortable for expats in TT. Off course there are those who will want to live like kings and not split a flat. Whose fault is that?
2. Do you know that all experts are paid when the, typical say 2 for the most always call sick or something wrong with there mother, father, sister, brother, uncle, son, neighbor, plant, shoe or miss a flight etc. They have the same benefits of local.
3. Expats also got a 10% raise with all other locals on their salaries and housing.
4. I heard that new local f/o's (not the last batch) have "Call Sick" roster. How disgraceful. Why is a TRUTHFUL report not being sent to the MD by the ppl sitting in the Ops. Dept.? Buddie Buddies.
5. The local contractors and contractlings getting more and more perks.
Well I am sleepy, looking forward to another aggressive response from my fellow lonely friend who is being feed data by another. BTW, isnt it illegal to attempt to flee a country with heli. parts belonging a company (not Brs) without permission? Heheheh Take that in your pipe and SMOKE IT.
I know the Senior Management (the top two upstairs) in Trinidad knows and have what it takes to make it Good. Bring back the good Brenfer Heaven/ Sansuker days, and the ability for all to work hard and LIME as one family. I will transfer myself instantly.
I think this room is fun, I see most keeping its real except for Mr. Crashes. (My my, why did I type that!!!!!, I am going to be whipped!!!!) Hope all in Trini; Locals and Expats get your additional 10%. Your all are working hard, wish I could be there for the celebrations in December.
* Congratulations, I hear the chops of LNG is being echoed in TAB, FedEXXX some Benna Balls to me. Cheers!!!!!!!!!

HOLYS***
Doubles-
That was beyond comprehension ! Are you using some sort of code ?
When you can string together a sentence come on back and state your case clearly.
The venom accusation has been levelled previously and rejected.
I have a clue as to what you are trying to say but dont be so vague.
$1000 dollars adequate for accomodation You Are Joking !
Why would or should anyone share accomodation with someone who is unknown to them or slum it just to fit the allowance. Some people I'm sure have higher expectations for there habitation. Why then are most drawn to Valsayn or the new developments at Trincity ?
Things were different when there was staff accom provided and crews had no cost. Bcl's theme of leaving crews to fend for themselves is deplorable, oh and the allowance is $1100 US
Everyones info comes from somewhere. It doesnt however make it wrong !
Get your facts right

Ops Heli. Pilots Cant Spell!!!
thats funny, I had worked there for so long, man I left and still did not figure out how to spell that brenfra, never knew it was really an issue to learn to spell it, lol? What happened to that hotel anyway? Is it still there, I remember the owner, just cant realy recall his name. Dose brs. still have the same house keepers? I recalled a f/o who was killed in a car accident, who was he? Anyway, its night, my excuse off "checking the weather" isn't really holding up well. Chat soon guys, bye.
