Is that the same wrinkled old fart that started ValuJet and cut corners on maintenance and safety?

 

Pretty funny that the very next email I got after Mav's "nothing to see here" was a google alert that contained the Bloomberg Business article that Uncle Wormy referenced above.

 

What I don't understand and maybe Mav can help me out is why our planes always carry MEL's when they almost always overnight in a maintenance base.

Secondly, I don't care how many personnel have been hired into maintenance positions, I care about the job getting done.

Third but not even close to final, how the hell is it that I find about increased scrutiny from Google long before Mav tells me the union is making a big deal over nothing? Bolts working their way lose on primary flight controls is far from nothing to see here. And unlike your earlier emails, two more planes had elevator issues and one had an aileron issue.

If that's what you think is minor, I hope I never see what you would call major.

Congrats to all of our vbd md80 captain upgrades, and whom do we think will replace the md FOs? Welcome prospective new hires. We got a beautiful bucket of bolts and/or missing cotter pins with your name on it. Enjoy.. lol Lovin that video shot of the aml.

Anyone know why the old thread got locked?

 

Well, we all know they would've just retired it, not closed it.

 

Allegiant airworthiness called into question - Story


I’m no $1000Hr. Fordharrison attorney, but this news piece suggests that G4 management falsely assured the public that all systems were A-ok after their contract maintenance forgot to secure a cotter pin on the tail assembly of flight 436 on August 17, 2015.

I hope the FAA will actually do something. Maybe criminal charges? Seems like executives have gone to jail for far less. Who knows? I wonder how the NMB board would come to view what we already know about the character of G4 management.

Apples don't fall far from the tree.

Is there any info you guys that are at Allegiant can give to us who are considering coming there? and before venting or saying 'dont' (the forums give a general idea of conditions there, etc) What is important is the current and proposed contract, and I have not found that info anywhere. Only current employees really have an idea of any of the specifics of what REALLY matter to an airline pilot- scheduling, health insurance, LTD/STD, vacation, sick calls, travel benefits both on Allegient and with other airlines. (compensation and retirement is covered on airline profile page) Thats the nuts and bolts that determine our lives and happiness....

Do days off improve with seniority, or is 10/11 fairly standard across the board? Maybe this varies widely depending on the seasonality of leisure travel?

What are the more junior/senior bases? this leads to question of realistic upgrade time. What would the difference be between say taking quickest possible upgrade (getting hired today) choosing no base/tdy versus waiting for a specific base Myrtle Beach or Tampa for instance, considering you may have made a home there?

Sorry for the long questionaire, but in trying to consider this place the REAL questions are not answered on the company website, or on here so much. Thanks for anyone taking the time to extend some information, it very well might make the difference in flying with someone somewhat content or preventing them from making a career mistake.
