Is GLA going to take you to small claims court? From what I've heard from some people is that unless a bank note is attached and it is amortized appropriately - there is no legal 'stick' that companies can use to get the employee to pay that back...
Case Against GLA
They will come after it... they might take their time and wait till your not expecting it and then mail it out to you. Here is a case of some guy who tried to fight it... he lost.
You’d probably be best not sharing your opinions and feelings since you’re an employee of GLA. I hope you do take some of it into your own hands and make improvements to the process and make it more positive. Although I’m sure you know the situations most of the new hires are in. They are barely able to eat and come with little money in their accounts to sacrifice themselves for a company that treats them like crap.
The Plains Hotel is more of a product of it’s own environment. It’s Cheyenne, WY… it doesn’t get much better. Not really complaining, just giving a description of the hotel. I think I left out the part that every thing you touch shocks you and the water scalds you or is freezing cold. Not that it matters. The hotel shuttle service is excellent. They pretty much have someone to drive all the new "intern pilots" around 24/7.
The white building? It has been getting cleaner? I can’t imagine it before.
I’ll take that part out about the management… you’re right that was a low blow. It wasn’t meant to you personally. Just to some of the people I came in contact with who weren’t very professional which frustrated me and caused me to go over the top. Aviation is a small world, and I think most people I talk to in the future I’ll make sure to tell them to turn the other way when thinking about going to GLA. Without people who stand up for themselves, the company will never turn into a desirable place to work.
Morale. Nothing to say to that… I saw what I saw. I actually texted someone who used to have my FOM in his possession. You should of seen the stuff he had to say about GLA, and he stayed with the company for 3 years. He basically told me to leave ASAP.
Why would you need to provide data on my night escapades? I don’t have a drinking problem. It’s just not a normal sight to see a higher up getting heavily intoxicated on a nightly basis.
The training department will provide a certain amount of training to get you back to proficiency, because if they didn’t the Union would come barking at the door to get another shot. The chief pilot is a class act and I really enjoyed listening to her speak. She deff wants what is best for her pilots so I do admire that about the company.
I’m sorry I had a bad experience and luckily I didn’t spend much money in the process. Can’t imagine what’s going to happen when a few people wash from systems, and a lot more wash from the sim. Show up and spend hundreds out of the companies pocket without it being approved? For what… what are you talking about? I’m sorry for some of the things I said Joe.
