poorwanderingwun,
Thanks for the insight. I wanted to hear from someone who is/was on the inside as that's the most accurate info.
We've all worked for someone along the way who has "disdain" for their pilots. But, I'm a bit surprised to hear that ASI management does. It's one thing to mistreat pilots in comfortable, safe, domestic jobs, but the demanding work for modest pay at ASI would seem to dictate a good deal of respect for the line pilots considering what they're asked to do.
Apparently, ASI isn't concerned about ( or doesn't have much ) pilot turnover ? Doesn't it take some time to get a new pilot up to speed for that type work ? My guess is that a constant stream of new pilots would, at some point, hamper the operation. Just a guess by an uninformed outsider...
Thanks again for the info.
