Hey baconeater,

I guess I don't really blame you for not wanting to share your information. Perhaps I wouldn't either if I was in your place. However, I would have thought that comments made, ironically almost one year ago to the day, would not necessary be the judging factor in ones current attitude. Honestly, I hadn't even remembered posting that, in fact, I don't even know why I did and I didn't bother going far enough back into past posts to determne why, BUT I do agree with you, the comments that I made were most likely unjust and definately were far from being politically correct. So again, I appologize for that.

I can't comment on why one would go back a full year for information? I kinda figure anything that's over a month or two old could very well be misleading and I choose to leave the past in the past, so it was quite surprising to see those past comments. Anyhow, I'd like to leave those posts in the graves of the forum and hope you do aswell. Perhaps you might reconcider suppliing those of us "not-knowing" with what you do know and maybe help some of us try and get our carreers moving on a forward path. Regardless of how you decide, I'll respect your decision and would hope that we can continue forward into the future and leave the past behind us.

Cheers,

Joe

As for my signature, one can interpret it however they wish, but lets not go off running with the idea that I'm walking around in a daily haze of bong smoke!! Someone said it, I thought it was funny and put it as my signature. If you think about it, it can quite simply be connected with our aviation industry and that was it's sole perpose, just to be slightly off beat and humourous.

Does being resident in Dubai with an unrestricted working visa help, when seeking employment with Falcon Express?

MT Qatar
 
Mt Qatar.
Im just wondering since you mentioned that you dont work for Qatar airways but it seems like you know so much about the airline industry which is impresive. Are you a pilot trying to get in with an airline in the middle east or is it just a hoppy for you ?
you can send me a private messegse if you feel more comfortable. And by the way I applause your loyalty to your country and your airline. ;)

All time "LOW MORAL", is it possible due to the new rules and variations specifically designed for the lucky FECA crew!! :rolleyes:

Zair 28th Jun 2002 03:52

Certainly can't get much worse! I thought things would get better but obviously not. :(

(Zair, who has just realized the CAA is...............useless)

Anyone care to comment?

Bleeder 28th Jun 2002 12:10

ZAIR one must realize "This is the Begining...........Towards the END."

betavalve 29th Jun 2002 06:42

Bleeder - What new rules and variations??:confused: :confused:

Bleeder 29th Jun 2002 20:54

We have been blessed with New Flight/Duty Times and new Rest Times = WOW

betavalve 30th Jun 2002 05:22

So whats the problem?

Bleeder 30th Jun 2002 20:37

1. Betavalve I guess you just have to be here.

2. "EQUIPMENT RUNNING 3% BELOW TARGET = ANY COMMENTS!!!!" :confused: :confused:

Tonto Kowalski 1st Jul 2002 06:57

So the new Flight and Duties have struck eh?! How the boys finding them? Not much fun?

Bleeder you sound like a switched on chap. But you serious about the all time low moral? Ouch!

As for equipment running just 3% under target...that sounds pretty good!!

Zair: You have done outstandingly well to have clung to the notion that the CAA was anything otherwise for this long!!

Haselled: Yes as I understand it, having that should help. There are a couple other things which will help no end also, but I believe they've been mentioned before!

Zair 1st Jul 2002 14:29

Thanks for that observation Tonto.

By the way you were mentioned at the pilot meeting the other day and so was spinalcompression!

Well, I guess you outsiders are wondering what the hell the topic of the meeting was? Mainly the new work and rest requirements.
Rules such as 900 hours in 12 months have been implemented. However as of today everyone’s hours start at zero supposedly. Why implement it in the first place, you ask yourself? You tell me! There are plenty of guys either on the edge of 900 hours or even well over, having this rule would mean time off for the last mentioned, however during the meeting it was confirmed that Falcon will not be hiring to ease the schedule. To bad for you guys out there seeking employment with Falcon. Not much else was brought up at the meeting.

It would have been the perfect time to have maybe mentioned company moral however the head in the sand tactic was applied by the chief of pilots. Neither were upgrades or ....this is just the beginning!

Considering the frequency of pilot meetings at Falcon I must say that I am disappointed at what was covered and the manner in which this was done.

Tonto; before you reply!
No, I didn't expect much from the meeting to be honest, however one can always hope!

Bleeder 1st Jul 2002 18:01

Scary, the world runs on the policy no discrimination against Sex, Creed, Race or Religion. At this very moment, this notion is being VILOLATED, in this company !:eek:

This company consists of four groups: (Only one can be attributed for the LOW MORAL = CAN YOU GUESS WHICH ONE)

1. Management

2. Maintenance

3. Pilots

4. Jinglies

Tonto Kowalski 2nd Jul 2002 11:04

Well that is interesting!

Sorry to hear about the meeting Zair, no surprises though eh. As for me being mentioned....nah....reckon you must have me confused with someone else! Wondering under what light he/she was discussed?! Wouldn't have been labelled as the scapegoat for the morale situation?!

That's a shame about the clock's all going back to 0 hours for the time limits. Still, if the present hours had been included, which demographic of the pilot body would have been getting the well earned rest?! Couldn't have that now could we?!

Bleeder: That is some EXCELLENT fire in the hole!! Great to see someone being honest. Don't think you require my answer??! All I have to say really is that although that view is VERY valid there, it's not really the go in civilisation I've discovered!

Hey any of you fella's know how the planned re-registration is going for one of the 1900's there. That real good one. A6-K .. .. wasn't it?!

Bleeder 4th Jul 2002 12:30

Strategic Management works in mysterious ways. Myth has it, that it is designed to do GOOD and increase PRODUCTIVITY within a company. :rolleyes:

Keeping this in Mind.

To further increase the PRODUCTIVITY of this Company, the FOLLOWING have to be REMOVED immediately :

1. JABA THE HUT :eek:

2. RECKLESS RED LINE :o

:rolleyes: (ALL IN FAVOR SAY "AIYEE" !!!!) :rolleyes:

withoutfailure 6th Jul 2002 18:38

Well it is finally coming out after all of these months of bitching..the only problem it takes pprune and anonimity to bring out the truth or lack of truth. Not even a so called "pilots-meeting" can calm the storm....zair, bleeder, tonto...well all I can say is thanks...I hope management is reading this and picking up on what is really going on within our organization because things need to change in a drastic way. As bleeder said, you guess where the problem is. All I have to say is that I agree.

baconeater...all I have to say is i know who you are and you should play for one team and one team only!;)

Tonto Kowalski 8th Jul 2002 03:57

So many new faces on here!

Where are some of the old hands?! Like Colt Steel and Ravensdale? Those boys still making movies??

Damn those censorship laws eh! Forcing healthy entertainment underground....

Ravensdale 8th Jul 2002 05:42

Mate - Just kicking back seeing how unhappy the boys are.....time for a change.....

Movies are still going strong

withoutfailure 8th Jul 2002 09:56

The Faces are physically the same but different depending on the company they are associated with....other than that the same crew is here fighting for what we all have been fighting for quite some time now....just a new approach...will they listen.....who gives a F#$%K anymore! It is all words.....and procrastination!

;)

betavalve 8th Jul 2002 13:39

Nice attitude guys. I think I'll withdraw my application to join your fine company. Sounds like it aint worth it anyway.
At least you wingeing s.o.b's have jobs.
