LIAR
Just to add to the previous about M.PTL's integrity (or LACK ie NON EXISTENCE);
He has had a couple of 'incidents' on the 747;
- approach hot & high at LAX ended in a G/A
BUT it was all the SECOND OFFICERS FAULT, and
- Taxi at LAX went wrong, but dont worry IT WAS THE SECOND OFFR's
fault! (again)
This guy is not worth the sh*t that he deposits down the porcelin.
The audacity of a Capt to blame a S/O when the S/O was NOT in the operating seat is beyond belief. His integrity didn't disappear with the dinosaurs, he didn't have any in the begining !!!!!!!!!!
I bet he also put the knife in on the farmer. Who else has been screwed lately by FJ?

Integrity
INTEGRITY
noun- HONESTY, probity, rectitude, honour, good character, principle(s), ethics, morals, righteousness, morality, virtue, decency, fairness, scrupulousness, sincerity, truthfulness, trustworthiness
I cannot find one of the above words to even be in the remotest sense used to describe FJ mgt. In particular Paris Hilton's uncle or the other Hotel owner. (does he still own the Capricorn ?)
opposites- dishonesty,
Now thats a word that DOES discribe the Hilton and the Capricorn!!
DISHONEST
adjective- fraudulent, corrupt, swindling, cheating, double-dealing; underhand, crafty, cunning, devious, treacherous, unfair, unjust, dirty, unethical, immoral, dishonourable, untrustworthy, unscrupulous, unprincipled, amoral; criminal, illegal, unlawful; false, untruthful, deceitful, deceiving, lying, mendacious; informal crooked, shady, tricky, sharp, shifty; Brit. informal bent, dodgy.
Now thats a bevy of words that ALL best describe FJ mgt and in particular the 'UNFIT and IMPROPER PERSONS.
Moce vinaka!!

Nadibayhotel07,
Its not only FJ Mgt that can be classed under the dishonest banner but at least ONE of our own (speaking figuratively). It is well known that Ned Kelly was a little colourful in his report (described earlier by Bulabandit - that was written under pressure by mgt) on the farmer. We all know he has a chip on his shoulder and has a grudge against all Contract Capts. Even we find him different and he - Capt Ned - always knows better. I heard a Trg Capt had to shut him up when he was Safety F/O. Capt Ned kept tell the F/O (& the TC) what they should be doing. Sound familiar?
Meet me for a beer and the sunday afternoon nipple roast by the pool.

Ahhhhhhhhhhh Fiji:
Island in the sun:
It use to be locals against expats! ****e they even use to write letters to immigration to hinder or stop some expats contract?
Now Expats and Locals have ! Wot? joined forces!
Never a dull moment.
Perhaps if you all had some past integrity and joined forces years ago, and supported each other when you had the chance, you may not be in the position you are now in.
You only have yourselves to blame, you made it really easy for Mgmt to shaft you.

Maybe just a little bit of anamosity?

Hi hoggsnort....both local and expats have their own battles to fight with AP mgt. Concerning your thoughts about the two groups fighting mgt together, well....the Playing Field has to be Level First before such a thought can be considered....if you still can't grasp that then you might as well pof and stir dirt somewhere else. Compliments of the season to you and your family.

You know FIJI is a country that believe it or not I LOVE DEARLY:
I hope you enjoy a #3 "fiji baby" or 12 , and all the best to you sir, and your family, and your country for the festive season & new year.
But look at your: "topic posts", go through the rest of Prune: and get back to me on what you notice:
Perhaps, and just perhaps everyone else has grown up a tad, apart from the odd, and not the norm personal attacks alot of you all launch from your screen.
Alot of the names you mention I know one way or another, a couple of you where my F/o's, some of you I Hold-Held in alot of respect, perhaps and maybe more than you now apear worthy of?.
Aviation has always been, and always will be: vote with your feet:

ai pai !! ##
Young man,
Some of us have gone to great lengths to enlighten the world and you 'wannabees' that Air Pacific 'the Island in the Sky', is not an airline one should have on ones CV. Let me make it quite clear -
- the acft are good
- the route structure is good
- the cabin service was good , but now due to 'economisation' it is fair
(all the goodies are gone - but its still better than QF or NZ)
- the cabin crew are generally great to work with
But the problems;
- scheduling and 'operational control' of delays etc leave alot to be
desired. (look in the dictionary for 'communication'!)
- Mgt is ? (it may be better if I did NOT go to print on this topic)
- PAY! (ask yourself why are so many locals AND contractors
are leaving?)
Even if I had the direct tel nos of those who say 'YES', I would be doing you a dis-service if I gave them to you. However, may one suggest any of the following;
- Emirates
- Qatar
- Oman
- India (they will fly your arse off - but a word or warning, be
EXTREMELY careful what and where you drink)
One hopes that this has not been too dis-heartening, but one should appreciate ALL FACTORS in potential employers.

737 Capt and Puma Pants, how impertinent of you both.
And how stupid suggesting that AIrPac is not a desirable employer to have on your CV. I don't believe you said that 737 Capt.
ai pai, go for it, and don't be intimidated by a bunch of wankers who want you to make a sacrifice so that they can satisfy their vindictive natures.
I'm not suggesting that you shouldn't try those airlines suggested by 737 Capt, but don't be dictated to by others.
I spent some time there a few years ago and it was a very pleasant stay. From what I read it may have deteriorated, but don't let that stop you from having a go at your first jet job. If you don't like the conditions/salary, then don't go, but certainly have a look.
Contact Rishworth in NZ; last I heard they were handling recruitment, and maybe IAC as well.

Just How many years ago?
KaptinZZ,
Just how many years ago and for how long did you work for Air Pac and on which acft?
As you can see, things have changed!!
I will agree, things were OK some years ago, prior to the latest MD. The current situation is very much different and not for the better.!

Porkchopper, I was on the 737, but as for how long ago and when I left, well that may identify me.
Let me say that the 737 CP must have changed dramatically if he's up to what is alleged here. And as for having him on new checks to line, that'd be great. He was about the easiest checkie I ever came across.
I'm not disputing that things have changed, and never did.
What I am saying is that you shouldn't be trying to deter a new guy from joining for your own selfish reasons, whatever they may be. Let him make up his own mind.
It's not unlike some lunatic on here pushing for pilots to boycott Jet*, a couple of years ago, because in his opinion the T&C were sub standard. Well F*** him. The T&C will always be sub standard to somebody, and attractive to somebody else. It comes under the category of 'that's life.'
If the current MD is Campbell, then I was there during his time.

Why Did YOU leave
