Breakfast club
So he was fired as the Director of Standards? And failed his .299 ride? He was supposed to be mister "Super Pilot", who use to run a charter company in San Diego prior to joining NJME, he sucked up to management from day one and now he bumps guys to the G-IV? What a clown and a jerk 
So is Mr. idiot who tried to sneak in wine in a thermos into Jeddah who was promoted to Check Airman on the G-IV still there? Another idiot

Batsky2000, I concur with you regarding Fox Romeo a fellow punching above his weight ( were that at all possible
)
However, your attack on the other chap is uncalled for - he is extremely competent - I have flown with him on numerous occasions. I'd happily have my wife and kids in the back of any aircraft that he operates. And that's not an accolade I willingly hand out. He is no idiot, quite the opposite - he is streets ahead of every other pilot in NJME. Trust me, I know what I'm talking about.
That chip on your shoulder is unbecoming of one who has pretensions to calling himself a professional pilot. . Feel free to PM me should you wish clarification on that, or any other episode whch grieves you.

UPIJ,
I did not question his flying abilities, I agree he is a good stick, but as a captain and a check airman, he should set the standard for the company, he did the opposite. You can't tell me that he did not know what he was doing when he tried to smuggle wine in a thermos into Jeddah. The problem is that he got away with it, if anyone else did the same thing, they would have had their visa revoked on the spot and sent home, but the company backed him up, JL sent everyone a memo describing how no one else would get away with it, and it just pissed others off when others got fired for less severe issues without second chances.
If you want to call that a chip on my shoulder, then that is how it will be, but it is a matter of what is right and what is wrong and for the company to do the right thing.
All I will say is that at a previous company, we fired one captain who violated a law in a foreign country, unlike this incident, no second chance, he also knew what he was doing and took his chance. The outcome should have been the same here, it would have set an example of what happens when you smuggle alcohol into Saudi. When he did what he did, it made it worse off for all NAS/NJME crews with extra checks at customs, fines, etc... one extra hassle we can all do without

Batsky -
The gentleman that you are so quick to criticize and he is a gentleman in every sense of the word and is about as good an operator as anyone could ever hope to be. He maintains the highest standards of operation in every respect. I wish that I could ever attain such a standard. Thus there is no reason for you to be sticking a knife in his back. Furthermore, there have been ZERO repercussions, no extra checks, nothing at all, and thats a fact.
So, Batsky, you never made mistake?
I don't know who you are, however, I assume that you are no longer employed by NJME because there are no current pilots of quality who maintain your jaundiced point of view.
It is a matter of fact that in the last 2 years there has been only a tiny minority of pilots leave NJME willingly. The vast majority have been pushed because they have been sub standard, or have come to the realization that they are so totally useless that they have had the decency to leave before being pushed or demoted. Believe me, I Know!
It is also a matter of fact that every one of that tiny minority (who were not pushed) have nothing but the highest regard for the person you are attacking - I have spoken to all of them recently, so it appears that you arent in that group.
This clearly explains the boulder on your shoulder.

Upij,
Hey Moron, everyone makes mistakes, some small and some big, but when you break a law, most of the time you get no second chance. I guess if he shot someone he should still get a second chance?
Like I said, no one else would have received the same deal, anyone else including yourself would have been sent home, he is not some special "all mighty one" I guess you don't get that!!
Live in your fantasy world of him being Mr. God Pilot, I have seen many like him that all people could say was how great they were until they took out their aircraft and crashed it by running out of fuel or flying into something they should have stayed away from, No one is that good, it could happen to anyone at anytime

I never said he was god like, I simply said he is supremely competent and a gentleman, in fact he is a perfect role model - clearly quite unlike you.
Batsky 2000 - you got fired for incompetence in the cockpit. You're obviously bitter and twisted you couldn't make the grade. Perhaps a career as a fiction writer may be more appropriate for you. Having claimed to have seen so much in your short career, it seems that you already have a best seller in your log book.
I for one have had enough of all these backstabbing ex-NJME loser pilots. They were useless from Day One in the cockpit- all they ever had was a log book full of lies and the gift of the gab. They really need to be "outed", the industry can ill afford such incompetents.
To this end, if anyone wishes to know the real reasons why any of these dead beats were "released" feel free to message me. I know the truth about all the departures in the last 3 year and am more than happy to let it prevail.

Are you serious? You really know how to pick great role models!!!
NJME is full of clowns, and a good ole boys club management that picks and chooses who go's where, it is the Ausie's VS the American's, always been a little friction. Glad to be gone....
In fact I have a better paying job, and am still working in the Middle east, keep your NJME pride, and your great all mighty role models, no chips, just happy to be gone...
Bye!!
