ACASS
We used them 3 times and were very dissappointed. They sent us resumes of pilots who we approved, but they never showed up. Three times there was a last minute change. The smoothing talking girls or a very smooth talking Chief pilot. We always got people who never flew the aircraft for 9 months or were not even close to Captains. We asked for Challenger Captains and got guys who were flying 172's last month as flight instructors and with less than 50 hours of jet time. The ACASS storie is that they are typed rated so they are Captains. Explain that to my insurance company. We did some schedule changes and got Captains from within and made our trips. All 3 guys we used called us to try to get there expense money. ACASS never paid them.
If you call them looking for a pilot, most of the time they have nobody. They post your request on climbto350.com. You can do that yourself and get much better quality. Remember, Good Challenger pilots do not work for $300.00 a day.
I had 2 friends who did contract work for them and never got paid. It has been 6 months now. They are out about $15000 each. They make you put all their expenses on your personal card. It is very hard to sue them when you live outside of Quebec. Quebec law is very different from the rest of North Amercia. They hide under this loop hole. BEWARE!!!!!
If you guys remember AVMAX from Calgary, it is the same guys minus 1. You all know the Snowbird. He is the chief pilot.
For those of you looking for contract work there are many other ways to find work.
Also all the good looking girls do not work there anymore!!
I am the same as the rest, If you ACASS guys read this I can back these statements up with a long list of people you have burned. You should get serious and starting treating people better.
BEWARE!!!!!! OF ACASS!!!!!!!!
