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.
This is why I do as much as I can to simplify the process, and provide "real world" budgeting ideas.



The white building? It has been getting cleaner? I can’t imagine it before.
A lot more clutter before. Again, this has to do with Customer Service utilizing some of the rooms/hallway space for storage of flight display boards, desks, etc. When things slow down, this is going to be on the high priority list.

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.
Without people who are willing to step up to make things better, things wont change either. There are some people who have to sacrifice themselves for the future bettering of others.

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.
And like I said, there are people here who have been here longer and had different things to say. I will say the individual that had your FOM was here when the "worst of the worse" was happening. No upgrades, new domiciles coming online, all hell breaking loose etc. I can say his timing was not good in that respect, but hindsight is always 20/20. Timing is everything, and people who got in at the wrong time have a reason to feel the way they feel.


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.
She is the best person for her position. She does a great job with being the mediation between higher management and the pilot group. She is high on the "trying to turn things around" wagon. She has a difficult job when it comes to these situations, but luckily we only get 1 or 2 per year, every other year or so.


Can’t imagine what’s going to happen when a few people wash from systems, and a lot more wash from the sim.
Again, with lots of the changes in the training dept, this will reduce drastically over time.

Show up and spend hundreds out of the companies pocket without it being approved? For what… what are you talking about?
It costs money to fix up, renovate, etc. When a task like that is undertaken, the Man who writes the checks determines if he wants to pay for it, not me.

I’m sorry for some of the things I said Joe.[/QUOTE]
Water under the bridge. Good luck in the future. Hopefully you can find something soon that works better for you that gets you closer to your final goal.
