Thanks for the reply. Is he the same guy who ran Pace airlines into the ground?

Not sure, but I have heard some rumors.

I believe he was also at Mesaba and SkyValue

Richardson
 

If that is the case, then I know him well. He is nefarious and untrustworthy. Fill up your logbook and move on to the next flying opportunity. When I commented on the "SkyKing" forum, I was talking about guys like Darryl. Good luck...H

I tried finding your comments, but couldn't. Mind pointing me in the right direction?

Charter section, Sky King "mass termination out of seniority" etc. Nothing worthy of a NY Times best sell list, just making a point that some guys have built an entire carreer at small companies screwing Pilots. When they are done, they just show up at the next airline and repeat...H

Agree and understood...if anyone not in "upper" management thinks they are anything more than just the "help" then drink another cup of coffee. This goes for ALL airlines, same broken record.

Second high-seniority pilot to tell me that the company is planning to furlough 40 Saab crew. From bottom seniority up. Reason: Slow Saab deliveries.

Lemme see. Cost of training 1 Saab guy: About $34K including lodging and 2 months of guarantee.

$34K x 40 crew = $1,360,000.00

Since the hiring environment at the regionals is as furious as it is, and everyone that just passed their check-rides on the Saab just proved they can pass a training program, does Silver Airways (Victoria Capital) think they're in a position to throw away $1.4MM?? A furlough of these pilots would release them from their 2 year contract. You know what the first thing they're all gonna do is?......SPLIT!

Why would they furlough only just cause they are two months behind on deliveries. ?? Doesn't seem cost effective
