Hello.
All I'll say is that Rafael767 is definitely not an SBA pilot. He's just an ass with a big chip on his shoulder. Same as his sidekick
I have flown with PG several times and all I can say is that the guy has behaved like a true professional, and a true gentleman.
I have also flown with the other two guys, and they're excellent professionals. And very well liked by the local crews in training.
So, as some said earlier, if those two bozos have to complain, first get their facts straight, and then go to the correct person or department. If they like, they can also go to their union and cry for a while.
Happy landings!

Please please ,YV757 PG is well known too many as a selfish sycofantic 
. Corner him one day and ask why the 3rd a/c that Smartlynx were to operate did not come? He did not want it because he would have had to leave cosy south america. He then selfishly told his superiors that introduction of the third a/c would cause so many problems because of its different engines, crew training, different MEL etc then 9 pilots were then furloughed and contracts cancelled. You see the man has so much experience that he can pass an objective judgement on an a/c. Sadly the senior management have so much confidence in his opinion they backed him .Big mistake. PG's only concern is for himself. Make no mistake people

I have also heard of the absolute mess this PG man has left behind not only in smartlynx but other companies!
Two pilots were terminated because they refused to bust flight and duty time whilst operation on a contract out of paris with smartlynx. Instead of dealing with situation the PG fleet chief influenced Smartlynx to send the two mentioned pilots home on time off. THEN only to terminate their contracts!!
I have friends operating in SB and the stories seem to stem Paco and rafaeal"s concerns! This man seems to be a law to himself!
AS rafael mentioned If you read the 60 odd posts wrote by rwethereyet it is very evident that this is PG fleet chief. His stature seems to then be exposed !
YV757... if you read the posts then you would realize that internal complaints by the santa barbara pilots seem only to end in roth towards those making them. Hence the post on here.
I do feel sorry for the pilots in SB to have to deal with this man or should i say boy.

Hello YV757. I am indeed a SB pilot! Wasn't that long ago you and I were speaking in the crew room in the domestic airport about this PG fleet chief!! Don't let him bully you. Stick with the Icelandair trainers during your line training as you wanted and you will do fine.
To you rwethereyet PG fleet chief. Your time here in santa barbara airlines is almost up. your PM email threats to me are noted and i will be the first to show you the door on your last day here.
Go and get a jar licence and valid EU visa. pitty your next employer

UK airline collapse
UK airline collapse. very very very sad news and all those jar pilots looking for work now.
Hopefully soon smartlynx airline will pull these 3 non jar pilots from santa barbara airline. as there are so many 767 pilots with jar license now out of work.
