In one of your posts, you mentioned that we didn't have good, experienced mechanics, not enough time, no parts, etc:...All the excuses under the sun. But No.... you still don't see a problem here. Hence so many people, Captains in particular, are leaving, or being pushed out. But as the old Cliche has it...
the last people to leave a sinking ship are the
( rats ) the enablers that supported and allowed these illegal activities to take hold, and grow. So, so sad.
NOW IT'S TIME TO PAY THE PIPER
I completely agree. This place has been a bastion of illegal activities, of corruption. There were people changing flight/duty time records, paying Pilots to fly often broke airplans that other Captains had just turned down as illegal and/or unsafe. Constant unheeded safety allegations and complaints to the Dir. Safety that nothing was done about. There was a time when Pilots on the line said that if you wanted a safety concern noticed, you needed to file an ASAP, or contact the FAA hotline. Even that route was corrupted by the village idiot. But we all know where it comes from. Management culture starts at the top.
Unfortunately, as most of the recent post shows in vivid colors, Same old *******T, different day.

Question Why did we get kicked out of the FBO in LAX?

Does anyone here know why we got kicked out of the FBO in LAX?

Due to certain individuals, we can't have nice things evidently. Ask around IWA

I'll bet you 10 to 1....
They didn't PAY THE BILLS.
You could be the worst customer ever, and the FBO would try their best to keep you. But when you are the worst customer, and don't pay, well..... as above. It's all about the Benjamin's. Go back and read post number 1510.

Has nothing to do with paying the bills. Had to do with a cargo flight and a pilot. We don’t park at that FBO doing cargo.

Our crews were going over there before to hang out on the sit for the cargo plane. Someone did something and we’re not allowed there anymore when we operate as cargo.

Not working for Swift, however, I’d bet nonpayment, probably was not the issue for the exile. However, other than not paying bills... it take a front or back end crew member have an airline banned from a hotel and or FBO.

They didn’t ban us, we’re just not allowed to go there when doing cargo ops.

We were just there when we took the Lakers home for the championship.

Why doesn’t Swift/iAero have a place for the cargo crew during their sit in LAX?

Because cargo pilots can’t have nice things.
No doubt somebody took his rollaboard along to the snack buffet.
