You might want to double check your facts before you start slinging mud at another operator. Your friend was the one who asked to go to Florida. End of story. NCAI set him up with a place to stay, bought him a car to drive, and sent him on his way. When work didn't materialize like he had promised he was asked to drive around to some local airports and spread the word. He never did it.

As a matter if fact, I do live in that "$hithole" up there and I get paid pretty well to do it. Otsego County has over 30 lakes, about 300 miles of snowmobile trails, Boyne Mountain 20 minutes away and not to mention Treetops Golf Course where the Pistons hold their annual golf outing. If that's your description of a $hithole then I'd like to see where you live. Tourism is our biggest industry, not many people pay to visit $hitholes.

As far as CS just coming along and snatching him out of this "$hithole" wrong again. That opportunity didn't just "come along." In the USA we usually have to apply for jobs. CS doesn't just drop in to GLR and snag pilots out from under NCAI. That being said when your friend was sent to King Air school he gave his word, and signed a contract, saying he would stick around for a while and not send out any resumes. This is a small company that can't afford to spend thousands of dollars training pilots only to have them leave in a couple of months. In return he got to build the time that helped him get hired at CS. And as you know he chose not to live up to his word.

NCAI is a great place to work, I can honestly say I like and respect every one of my fellow employees. The owners and DO are the best people I have yet to meet in the aviation community. You obviously don't have all the facts so you should probably just shut up.
