Bit harsh on the old budgi don't u think boys. When was the last time any of us worked for a GA company that didn't ask you to lube up and take one for the team.

yr right, the only thing that has been killed so far was when Mince ran into cow in company van, funny stuff.

The only question I have: Is Mr. avi8r going to pursue a "career" with them after all this wonderful advise?

I would love an explanation to “when Mince ran into cow in company van” that sounds like a fascinating story.

Eagle vs Eagle

"the only thing that has been killed so far was when Mince ran into cow in company van"

I beg to differ

Results from one eagle having a run-in with another

Jedi, 3RAR You boys are legends, got it spot on . Pleiades shouldn't you be ordering a new nose cone for VH- and nose wheel????? Your time might be better spent trying to get behind the wheel instead of sprooooooooking on this forum trying to get people jobs.

Karma is a and unfortunately due to the high turn over of drivers, there are a lot of unhappy ex-employees willing to voice there views.

.. coming from a Christians point of view all I can say is I'm disappointed in the blatant disregard this company has on actual Christian ethos.

a strong sense of hypocrisy I can smell - when they use a religion to sugar coat their operation.. shame

Angel

Actually, thats one thing I didn't see them doing. Although I spoke to their staff all over the Kimberly and daily, I never heard one word that could have been construed as religious.
(Although I did bump into an angel that works for them, a couple of times. )

There are several Christians at different levels of the company. Not all of them have been the type of people who many of these posts are targeting. There actually are some respectable churchgoing people there that don't judge the rest of the world, they actually appreciate it. because they have different views. Good examples of religious tollerence.

Not all christians are bad. Not all white men are racist. Not all women are bad drivers. Its just the ones that are tend to taint the rest.

The focus seems to be clouded by religion. Don't target them because they go to church or the problems will never be solved.

Hows this...

One New Years Day a few years ago was asked to come into work not to fly but to work in the hangar and clean aircraft. Very hungover and reluctant to work on my religious holiday the chief pilot spent 2 hours with me preaching the lords word and explaining why I lived in sin all in 40+ heat.

DD your right not all religious people are nuts this one is

It sounds like jedi is a little disgruntled... maybe if he performed better whilst employed with gea then he would be flying a jumbo by now.

think about it dude gea doesn't just go around giving references as bad as the one you got for no reason

Seems to me like PPrune is full of ex GEA jocks pissed off with their time at the company.

Fellas get over it. GEA is a good company with good management. I see no reason to be bagging them out.

What kind of reference do you expect to get when you bitch about your company???

Dont ya love all these new posts that have memberships since apr 2007.
Jedi how are ya mate, and yes you did have them try and derail your job a couple of times . seems like employers from certain companies in Perth will not take any reference from GEA seriously any more, I also hear the chief pilot has application with a company who he has bagged several of their pilots which are ex GEA.
GOOD LUCK.
I think you are stuck with pistons

look all i can say is gea are a company that gives a lot of pilots a good first go and a really good grounding in ga. you guys probably don't appreciate that but then again you sound like the sorts that think your pretty good anyway ( even having never achieved anything)

so enjoy the rest of your not flying for qantas careers
