Or, are you simply so unknowledgeable and ignorant of the term, that you use "134.5," and don't really know the meaning? Which is it?
You make very direct statements about me. You know nothing about me. This is a trend for you.
I'm a troll, am I? How long have you been here?
"134.5" implies a company that does not hold a charter certificate, yet performs charters. If you're applying that to the operator in question, then you've lied. Make that clear: you are lying. You state that Cirrus proudly proclaims their status as a "134.5 company." How is it that they hold out to the public for charter, then? Where is this proud proclamation? You've lied again.
You want to go "toe to toe with me all day?" For what purpose? You're retired and have nothing else to do?
Can you do it while telling the truth? You've made a lot of unsubstantiated accusations against the operator who is the subject of this thread, which the operator has denied. You bring the accusations. It's your responsibility to prove it, rather than simply bad mouth an operator, when clearly in one single post you've lied twice.
As a known liar, what can you do to improve your failing reputation?
I appreciate the vote of confidence there.
One can only assume you don’t work for Cirrus. Either or you could dispute my claims up very easy with facts. But since you only want to take personal shots we can go that route.
But I will clearify for are veiwing audience. Cirrus does hold a Part 135 operating certificate. Part 135 holds the minimalist standard for an operating certification. There are operators in Florida with a single Cessna 172 operating under Part 135 certification. The reference of Part 134.5 is a well known slang for a piece of —-t operators. That operate outside of there certification boundaries. Unfortunately there is not enough dedicated FAA inspectors to throughly check all Part 135 compliance out side of there yearly/bi-yearly inspection. Sad but true.
Now employment on the other hand the FAA washes there hands of any employment agreements or guidelines as long as they comply with crew certification and rest rules.
This is where me and you come to odds. They may run a respectable Part 135 operation. But treatment of flight crew is where I see the reason to educate the new pilots. Like most management companies a company in this case Cirrus or ABC management company for all it matters will never come out and tell a potential recruit the real story. But since Mr Bruke says I’m full of it and in his words a liar.
Please go work for them. Apparently they are Forbes top 100 companies to work for. Dont let my negativity stop you. But don’t say I didn’t warn you either. Mr Burke has apparently work there for awhile and knows everything about them! Good luck there and I’ll give you a hint if you want to get in good with the Management start smoking.
