I didn't say that all of 'em are bad. FP in ANC was great. I was very pleased by the guy that just left DC-10's (SB), and I'm pleased with the guy who took his place (CS).


It seems to be what a guy wants to make of it. He can be a good manager, or he can suck.



Don't get me started on that guy in Subic.

CW as the worst is an understatement. If my fingers wouldn't cramp up from all of the typing I'd love to relate my adventure with him and his lovely FOS.

Needless to say, I wouldn't pi$$ on him if he was flopped out in the gutter and on fire.

My ramp mgr was a Tiger guy and he and I just stood there shaking our heads laughing, while the rest of the knuckle dragging rampers were p!ssed because it was delaying their getting home or to their "real" jobs! I think these guys just got some time off with out pay if I remember correctly.
They each got 30 days or so off without pay. I think there were only 2 Captains taken "hostage", One from "The Bay area" (OAK) and from "The New York area" (EWR). It was the first night of "self-help" at the end of November 1995. One was removed from his trip upon arrival in Indy and the other in Oakland. While off, they were given monies to make it through by fedex pilots on the company who were called "The Band of Brothers". Different seats positions contributed different amounts.

P.S. R.D. Marshal was not a member of group.

He obviously can't be very smart if he is still there after all this time, and as a temp..... What a sucker!

I think George's point is that all the monies that were contributed to the BOB fund were stolen by JC, before he left the company.
