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

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 hangar 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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
