NO ONE HAS EVER BEEN FIRED FOR A LEGITIMATE WRITE-UP. And never will be. Can you imagine the legal nightmare Ameriflight will face if they did fire someone for sqwauking and legitimate problem?
Or to go one step further -- the Ameriflight has been in business more than 40 years, flown a couple million hours, some of it in the worst weather areas the country has to offer . . . and has never, NEVER had an injury or fatal accident attributed to maintenance of the aircraft. It's hard to mesh that record with some of the kvetching you see on the Internet. Some of these complaints just aren't credible. Sometimes pilots need to stick to their guns and make it clear that the problem needs to be fixed. The company certainly isn't perfect, but it has -- and employs -- maintenance assets unheard of in most of the 135 cargo industry.
