Hi i'm a pilot, new senior base pilot actually

[frontseatpassenger]

tipped off

not to mention the escort to the aircraft and a safety brief.

Gee, they really do go above and beyond. Did you see them weigh the baggage and freight though on their only set of $20 bathroom scales? I doubt it. Did you travel in their 421 with a full load of adult pax and freight? Did it get off the ground ok? Coffee, cakes and 5 star rating doesn't mean jack sh*t when you have low time pilots flying overloaded aeroplanes every day. "I sustained 3rd degree burns when the plane clipped the trees after take off, but the coffee was nice".

Continental-520

Wouldn't you want to eliminate ANY operator who is detracting to our industry and detrimental to it?

Yes absolutly. But D*****t Air has taken the spot light off NAC of late. At least NAC has a proper set of freight scales and the dodgy ops manager is now with D***** Air. It would be good for the waiting pax to watch D*****t's first crash on the new plasma screen in true digital colour.

HEY i thought everyone automatically got handed a licence from Ron Jeremy after they completed his training or became burnt out...... or betta still just could'nt make the grade hehehehe

Yeah, probably cause the latter exceed NAC's operating standards and techniques by infinite proportions. It's just a shame that you choose not to see that, and instead you've chosen to categorise yourself with those who form strong opinions and assumptions on a minimum of insight, if any.

All you need to do is compare each companies premesis, equipment and reputation, at a glance, and it will tell a story of its own.

Then again, if the extent of your insight is to judge a company by the brand of scales it utilises, I will, if I may, let you remain in your sadly terminal state of distraitness.

The last fool is not yet born....

Continental-520 your not the sharpest tool in the shed are you.

probably cause the latter exceed NAC's operating standards and techniques by infinite proportions.

How is that possible when one of the main problems at NAC was their operations manager who is now at #####t Air. And believe me when I say that I am no fan of NAC, but you seem to just be in it for the witch hunt. You can’t call one operator dodgy and turn a blind eye to the one your mate works for! NAC’s biggest problem wasn’t operating standards anyway but pilot pay and conditions.

What frontseatpassenger is trying to say is that it takes more than passenger comfort to make a good charter company. Their safety should be number one priority.

All you need to do is compare each companies premesis, equipment and reputation

Well if you engaged your brain before your fingers you would have realised that #####t Air are using a lot of NAC’s old aircraft. Hmm, same aircraft, same ops manager – same equipment, same mindset. I would say same sh%t different company. Even RENURPP stated

Re this "good operator" The same person IS at the helm, I would be supprised if any thing has changed for the better, just learnt how to hide from CASA more effectively.

It's funny but #####t Air are still trying to take NAC's clients, planes, pilots and reputation. You just need to learn how to read between the lines. Just wondering 520, why are you defending #####t Air so much while still on at NAC?

[Continental-520]

Pfft...

No, I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed. I don't stab people in the back like some, I've managed to resist posessing that trait.

All the staff at NAC are under the command of ONE individual, and that is why the whole operation seems to be chafing. It hasn't stopped yet, either. Watch it and see. If they're the myriad of a good operation that you seem to suggest they are, why are they going downhill?

If you call two aircraft "a lot of aircraft", then you're a little misguided. Less than 20% of their fleet consists of ex NAC equipment. And who's not engaging their brain before fingers?

Just wondering 520, why are you defending #####t Air so much while still on at NAC?

Because I DETEST operators that detriment the industry in which I work, that expolit staff, breach safety and generally cut corners, and I'm pleased to see the commencement of an operator that does things to a standard beyond the norm. That's why. And that's not limited to DA, that goes for all. You won't see me dissing operators anywhere that operate in the right fashion, but I won't hesitate to express my opprobrium towards those that carry on like NAC do.

Is that not understandable? Why are you so reluctant to accept my point, Cpt. Wawa?

520.

[Enufsaid]

Does **** stink?

I DETEST operators that detriment the industry in which I work, that expolit staff, breach safety and generally cut corners

The very company you are working for does just that

[bogdantheturnipboy]

I love these cat fights, whinges and gossiping.

Please don't stop.

[Continental-520]

Enufsaid,

How would you know? You don't work for them. (If you do, it sounds like you shouldn't be.)

What proof is there that I work for them? Can you explain how you could possibly be one of exploited staff if you don't work for them?

Enough said!


520.

[vh-oja]

520,
Hmmmm, exploitation. How much are D***** charging you for your ICUS?



just kidding mate, head down the lost arc and get yourself laid, you'll feel much better

[Deepsea Racing Prawn]

520 ...didn't take you long to get involved in the top end politics.

[Continental-520]

Correct

It doesn't take long for anyone to get involved if they hold an opinion, gauging by the above.

All it takes is for your opinion to differ slightly from someone else's, and you're an instant parasite...!

How frightfully narrow....
