I saw an IFL crew in CA once. The engineer and F/O were unloading the main cabin and the Capt. was unloading the belly by hand. Didn't look like they had the 'option' on that one.

The fact that the Captain was unloading the belly while the engineer was up top should speak wonders - in a positive sense. Amazing crews, no egos involved, everyone has the same goal.

Which is why they can't find crews and have to keep advertising. Why anyone today would do that kind of work is obvious.
Aliner/Skyway put an ad out today on 350 and I was not surprised at the total BS it says. TL is truly the bigger POS EVER. His C.P. Is as bad. But they will get a few that will keep thinking it's ok.
Loading a 727/DC9 or whatever, by yourself, shows what you think of yourself. It also undermines everyone because the terms and conditions are still garbage. If you have a DUI, or other convictions, there is a place for you. It's not hell, it's IFL, Everts, Kalitta, Ameristar or Sierra West.
Rant finished.

We could sit around and wait for guys to load/unload the aircraft. Or we could help out and get the job done faster. I bet those Evert or NAC guys appreciated it since they were waiting to get offloaded behind us and go to the hotel. We wanted to get to the hotel too!

This isn't anybody's dream job. Everyone knows that. But for us younger guys, it's a great start and a lot of fun. Where else are you gonna hand fly a 727 on an ILS down to minimums, because you can? Plus, we had a regional pilot come work for us for a bit who said that one of his mileage pay checks was worth more money than 6 months of pay at the regional.
The guys who bounce from job to job, keep bouncing, they never last long. This job is just something to hold them over til the next offer comes in. They seem to think that one day, they will land their dream job.

Hey, I'm not dissing you guys. It looked like a pretty solid team effort. Glad you get paid extra as well...not every Company does that.
Had a USA Jet guy tell me once that the Ypsilanti Vortex was like the Hotel California...you can check out any time you want, but you can never leave.

To place IFL in the same boat as Kaliitta, Ameristar, or Sierra West just demonstrates how ignorant you are. I don't know why you continue to ignore the posts of the few of us that have actually worked there. Reread this thread, it is filled with you posting irrelevant assumptions, and those with first hand knowledge - all with positive things to say. Time for honesty, did you wash out of training at IFL? I can't figure out any other reason why you would be on such a mission to spew filth.

Hockey, I really enjoyed your story about the loading and unloading of the 727. I have always enjoyed studying and practicing leadership, and your story is a prime example of awesome leadership. You made a decision, you followed through with your decision, and then you had the stones to take the aftermath of your decision by unloading the belly by yourself. Kudos to you, good sir.
On a side note, does anyone know what the average new hire at IFL looks like hours and resume wise?
