And pilots willing to sell their souls to the devil and man their operations too.

 

And religious zealot pilots with misplaced arrogance thinking they know what is good for everyone with no consideration to individual situations

(no, I don't work there)

 

So what happened to his sim partner?

 

Realized that driving a turd hearse was better while looking for a better place to work.

 

Anything new with then in terms of hiring?

 

they are shutting down the MIA base. they owed MIA airport $440,000 in fees and one of their airplanes (593AN) was flown in to transfer to another airline and a C check.....MIA DCAD slapped the lien on the plane, leaving the owner (CSI) stuck paying the bill in order to transfer the airplane and to start the mx work. CSI deducted the money from falcon's bill for the IWA deportation flying contract they do for CSI. the staff missed ANOTHER paycheck because of the owner's greed. they are about to lose the IWA contract to swift air. that will most likely happen in may. paychecks were late in mid february, then the end of month per diem was late, then the end of month february paycheck was 10 days late. even then, when finally paid on 10 march, it took up to 9 days for the check to clear many of the staff's own banks. FA perdiem checks for jan-march won't be paid until the end of april. the mid april paycheck for all is late again. they are down to 9 captains and 11 fo's....almost half the pilots have quit and gone to other airlines......they are tired of the BS....but more so the late pay AND BS made the vote of confidence in DO bill cline, CP Tony Taype, junior ramiez and senior ramiez (owners turned pirate crooks) into a large sucking sound of asses and elbows to other jobs. even when pilots gave the proper 2 weeks notice cline and taype changed it it immediate resignation and took them off payroll right on the spot. taype has given several "retention" speeches of the remaining pilots to not follow the "losers that left". it is hard for the pot to call the kettle black as CP taype does. he has been fired from avianca, LAN and world atlantic and is a known charged and convicted wife beater on two different women. DO cline got canned from amerijet, southern and balitta but somehow manages to bedazzle and then baffle people before the shoe drops: look up untrustable in the dictionary and you will see his picture. this is the kind of toxic leadership the ramiz owners purposely pick as they too are the dribble down the crack of the devil's buttocks. ever work at a company where you need to go to the social security office with your W2 to correct the pay? every year i was there, i had to do this. SS office showed me each year where i was THOUSANDS of dollars lower than the W2 falcon provided me. with enough people passing the word and getting their SS accounts corrected, the IRS got involved and falcons ramiz cartel were IRS liened $12 million dollars. ARE YOU REALLY SURE YOU WANT TO WORK HERE? THEY ARE ADVERTISING ON 350 SITE FOR LAKELAND BASED PILOTS. there will be a name change to VOLO. be it falcon or volo, you are walking into clearly something you will regret. it is just not worth it. working there is like pushing a wheel barrel full of cow turds uphill on a wet clay trail.

 

Dodged a bullet there last year it sounds.

 

did you know falcon's last chief pilot is a SCAB. there was a bahamas air strike 22-25 december 14. Robert Nylund was the chief pilot at the time and was recently hired by jet blue. Nylund flew at least FOUR flights to and from the island DURING the strike and forcing falcon pilots to fly trips with him under duress of being fired. two did do this...the rest called sick or found some way to not participate in scabbing for bahamas air strike. this was an IFALPA recognized and published strike that easily can be verified and the owners, D.O. and chief pilot knew this. this chief pilot chose willingly to do this. what makes matters worse is robert nylund was born in the bahamas and holds that island passport. robert nylund already had a bad reputation there but seems to have a worse one now. i really find to hard to fathom how jet blue hired him and has not done something to realize their error. i am sure jet blue's APLA would have a fit knowing this SCAB is flying their pretty 320's when this guy should be rotting on the beat up and leined md80's falcon has.

 

Lots of airlines have scabs on their lists. Even Alaska.

 

JetBlue has always hired some questionable people I've known. Not sure how they determine who's a good fit for them but....
