It probably wasn't RE's kids I don't think. The only family member of the new management team that flew was JV's son AFAIK. He flew for Lakes but I thought he only had a few hundred hours and was on their 135 side of things. I could be wrong and really don't care. I don't know if the FE thing is accurate or not either. When the DC8s were parked, FEs with pilot certificates were given some chance to fly the 767 as an IRO if certain qualifications were met. I think most that could took it. At least that was before the merger.

 

You're forgetting about the Cappy FE's.

 

True. I thought most were PFEs though.

 

All

awacs

 

After reading this and other threads Ill pass on the ATI interview. I can't even believe I'm contributing to this Co's BS but Im attracted to ignorance I guess.

Just to enlighten Candygram, Larry, Tabdata, wtfe

Coming from an expat with over 10+yrs Sandbox/Stan

The American civilian contractors (not civilians directly employed by DoD or DoS) couldn't ever take fire/damage or report it openly. The reason being that you guys despite being in a warzone were still civilians and under the regulatory authority of the FAA. Depending on your theater the rules changed over the years but for the most part went like this. Ill go plain language too. "You are required to report all damage resulting from hostile fire. You are required to report any incident involving enemy action." Cough Cough stomp stomp "If you do the FAA is will issue a TFR and civilians will be sitting on the ramp" -------As time went on what was considered dangerous changed. Later small arms of "under" 12.7mm were not considered dangerous to larger aircraft into the major basses because of their limited range. If you guys flew Iraq you may remember N (civilian) aircraft couldn't enter certain areas. The above is why. You could have taken an RPG up the pipe and I promise your company would have claimed FOD or small arms in fear of loosing the flying, which paid quite well.

I dont need the lecture I know you guys were doing it for absolutely NO extra pay setting a new standard in all of our lives.

 

Amen brother bravo! Too many John Wayne wannabes out there. ATI is covered up with them. I know of what you speak.

 

I was offered an interview as well. It says a lot to me that its on your own dime to get to and from the interview.
