End of story.
The mighty B757200ER has spoken and now we are at the end of the story if you do not make things according to his all encompasing vision of reality there will be hell to pay....oh my God get a life and leave the issues to the adults that take todays reality and see the potential for change and navigate the turns in the road to a bright new future that if you wait long enough will probably even change the things that you seek through your immediate gratification mentallity.

I remember a bottom feeder airline, Planet Airways, hired two bottom feeder guys who had no jet experience either. One was Sean Sweeney to be the chief pilot of a B727 operation of which the larges aircraft he flew was a SAAB 340 and Bob Braden who jumped from commuter to commuter. And true those morons got no respect from the pilot group either.

ockham... The sad thing is he was an ALPA jumpseat coordinator? With that attitude toward jumpseating Im sure his membership had the best representation. Any idea what carrier he is with?

I remember Planet... they were based out of CVG. The guy that owned the company owned a few hotels also. When a carrier takes a Saab 340 guy and makes him a 727 Chief Pilot its about the same as making some poor bastard the liquor permitee for a crap hole bar... just someone to take the heat and say yes.

Close... the carrier was based in KMCO. One of the money makers was Louis Pearlman of the boy band fame such as Backstreet Boys, In Sync. Pearlman is under investigation for defauding over 1,000 investors. You can access more information on this scumbag and his little scumbag friend Tony Decamillis through the Orlando Sentinal.
