Hat of to the B-18 pilots, especially after finding out the fire bottles was wired shut, Paul did not want us to fire them bottles, too expensive to recharge you know.

Hi Paul, small world.
Heard one of the B-18 pilots said something about the firebottles, the guy is dead now so I won't mention names.
If you never had bottles in the -18s, then it was obviously bad information.
How are you anyway, lont time, no see.
Have not seen you or the planes in STT for many years so I guess you retired?
Still on the Island?
I started flying big planes in 1988 overseas so I have only been back to STT for the occasional vacation.
Hope all is well with you and the family.

Everything has been going well. Retired about 4 years ago and am still in St. Thomas. We have a house in Florida that we spend about half of the year. It is in Sebastian not far from Vero Beach. Yes, the information about the fire bottles is incorrect. I never had any in the BE-18's. Be rest assured, that is if I had any they would have been working well. I may have been a little on the wild side but never took any chances with my employees or equipment. Looking back over the 35 years that I operated the airline, we still had a excellent safety record. We are very proud of that. I do not think that I could have been able to live with myself if I did not done that. Well, anyways, Hope to see you one of these days. Are you still flying?

I hope they donīt open again. The CEO, owes a lot of money to people in Puerto Rico.
I still remember when he hired me he said: welcome to the best airline in the Caribbean! hahaha
He is a lier not a lawyer. When I worked there we didnt know if was a money laudring company or he was that stupid!
But if it ever opens again, STAY AWAY!
I dont know how somebody that takes an airline to bankrupcy in few years can be a teacher in the The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. He used to pay his employees half of the paycheck and the othe half after a week. He never paid the plane loaders overtime. He didnt seem to care when he was staying at the Ritz Carlton in Puerto Rico and renting a Chrysler 300 M for 100 usd a day.
He employs people as independant contractors and when he decides that he doesnt need you you cant claim unemployment benefits.I still remember when he hired me he said: welcome to the best airline in the Caribbean! hahaha

According to the St Thomas Source, http://tinyurl.com/ykubj99 , Four Star lost its mail contract in November 2009 after an FAA action.
