They apparently fired a maintenance controller last Friday due to the parts guy shipping incorrect parts to fix an airplane. I also hear that the airplanes are not getting fixed, AT ALL and the FAA is turning a blind eye to the problem.
The Sky King guys and gals (if there are any gals left, I heard most of the female pilots were fired) need a union so bad it is ridiculous. Not to mention it sounds as if they violated the WARN act during the mass termination. It is my understanding that RW (former ground school instructor) is pursuing that with a vengeance.
RC is NOT the person many of us thought him to be, he deserves to spend the rest of his career in the s&*t bag airline business.
One last thing I heard from someone high up in the organization is that Gregg L. is making a run on the company in bankruptcy. Apparently he has several former customers or nearly former customers that are interested in investing the money to help him take it back, and a personal law suit against the current owners claiming fraud in the last bankruptcy. This is like watching a slow motion train wreck, if you are still there you need to be thinking about jumping ship. All very interesting from the terminated cheap seats.
Good Luck to all you guys left.
Two days after Rob sent out his email about the union, almost 60 days into an unpaid suspension because the Training Dept messed up his training, he got fired.
One day after getting a wing body overheat with only operating pack at FL240 (the other being MEL'ed for the umteenth time), Tim chose to follow the QRH - which resulted in the rubber jungle in the back. He quit rather than deal with the attitude of management. It appears they are going to use this to get rid of LH, who was doing OE on the flight - after having to redo the entire training program because of another management screwup.
The weekly CP update invited pilots to recommend friends who might want jobs at the King. They are hiring because of "anticipated additional flying" or some line like that.
I heard the rumor about Greg. Also heard he called Danny last month asking for a loan because he couldn't pay his mortgage.
Guys, if your resume isn't current, you aren't paying attention.
