That sounds just like Falcon....
They know for weeks in advance that they need a pilot and then leave it until the very last moment to hire someone.
And when they finally do hire someone, that person doesn't even meet the minimum requirments set out by the company!
No offence to the new hire, he's just out trying to get a job, but it is yet another example of how well things are run at Falcon.

Not to sound too condensending (good college word) but i am holding out on my type rating till i here anything from Falcon. Luckily, i could afford a type rating and all i need is the word and i would do it at FSI. My wife has a good job so i think i can live off her money for the type. Plus she owes me.
So i am holding off on the type but am i doomed cuz i dont have it.

Falcon Express Update
I see Falson Express is advertising for crews again --- must be willing to fly into Iraq.
Have the moral/ pay issues been solved at Falcon Express or or crews leaving by the dozen hence the ads.

Haven't heard anything about new pilots so far...There are rumours about new aircraft but these have been going on for months and months. Just out of curiosity where did FECA advertise?

yeah where do they advertise
I believe they are looking for new pilots. Even heard they may bring in direct entry capts. which is sure to stir up a few flames.
Forgot to mention, still no chief pilot been formally announced. Apparently only 2 guys in the running unless outsiders have been called up (but no formal interviews that I know of).
Of the 2 selections that I know of, I must add that I think I know which one of those the majority of the pilots, engineers, dispatchers and office staff would prefer to see in the position and would prefer to deal with. (hint: hes the one who knows hes NOT CANADAIAN)
So starts the bashing...

There are indeed two inhouse guys that are running to be the new Chief pilot. Who's going to be the lucky guy....Don't have a clue. Direct entry captains...well I heard they talked about that I think the majority of the F/O's will be F
cking pissed off about that......
At this time we have 2 or 3 guys that might be upgraded which should be enough for the near future. There are rumours about a F27 and a "new" B1900 B model

Putting Candidate number 2 (The Man of the Maple Leaf) in the Chief Pilot's slot would be like throwing razor blades at a baby: Ill-advised, criminally neglegent (allegedly) and all around a bad idea.
So expect it to happen!

Well the only thing a 1900B is good for is 6,7 and 3/4 lines...Doesn't make sense imho.
Anyway our most important destination is not Barracuda but Bermuda with a 7 day layover
If i'm wrong about that please enlight me FM b/c I didn't get it it's still hard to think after that great party last week.
Just heard Mustafa is the new Chief pilot

uugh thats all we need.
but hardly surprising, heard the kiwi had a meeting with our texan leader the other day and turned down the position.
the only thing i can say to the rumour re our canadian wannabe is...i used to have a little faith in him but since capt. ZAIR moved on to greener pastures all respect has gone. infact after all the moaning about capt. ZAIR in comparison to this munkay he wasnt too bad.
i expect morale to hit top of descent very soon

medoorf, I hear ya.
About time someone spoke up on this matter
The talk on magnum seems to be about only one thing recently. The topic of "oh please anyone but him". I hope someone from management hears our cries and pokes their nose into how little he actually acomplishes and how little he is respected.
It would be great to have someone fill the position who is approachable and easy to discuss our concerns with, both company and aviation in general.
Good Luck to us all
Coastrider26 - the party the other night was a cracker.
was great to see nearly all the guys in the company together in one place (even those who just happened to show up unexpectedly)
all the best to our late departed ozzy, have fun with the brizzy hosties...you lucky lucky bard

The party definitely was a blast, to bad I was tired from the night before,but still one of the best parties. Only one thing got screwed up it's a girl in bikini that makes the suprise visit 
not.(you know who) We might have to work on that for the new parties in the visit. I think we need some extra practice parties to get that right. Let's start by having every FNG throw a party at the cellar.
Would be nice if we had some information from management on how we are doing at the moment to give us some ease of minds and give us headsup.The latest choice to go with F27 just scares the **** out of me. Comparing it to Farnair's F27.
At least we have lots of sun and beaches

If you guys don't want the Canindian taking up the Chief Pilots' position, maybe you should complain to management, and not on this forum here.
Anyways, even if the other candidate in the running would get the position, it would not make the slightest difference.
Any changes or decisions will still have to be approved by your (as someone said earlier) great Texan cowboy.
I am just glad that I am no longer under the rule of this totalitarian (n zi????) regime.
All I can say to you guys is bend over and take it in the you know what....and hope something better comes along before you can no longer walk
