By his description I have a pretty good idea who he is. It doesn't surprise me he would pull a cheap-shot like trying to spoof my ID. Given his attitude all through training, it didn't surprise me when he bailed after only a month. I did upset me when I saw his no notice resignation. Not because he was leaving but that we had invested in training him.

I'm also upset at him spoofing off my ID. Mostly because there is no way in HELL he would ever be able to fly the BUFF or make it in any of our armed forces. Just a little to self centered for that.

 

Your posts are always straightforward and informative. Keep it up, man. I know lots of people who worked for Ameriflight and seemed to enjoy their time.

 

My post was unprofessional, especially using a spoof username and singling out a former boss online.

I apologize sincerely for making a lapse of judgement and airing out a personal vendetta in an online forum.

That being said, If you want to say I was a terrible pilot, go for it, I can’t prove that one way or the other on here.

If you Think I had a bad attitude or bragged about being a CFI, theres no way to prove I did or didn’t.

But please, have as much fun as you want pretending an ounce of what I said was untrue. Or that your response was anything other than attacking my character to bolster your image.

Lie - “he bailed after 1 month”

Fact - “I worked 4 months on the line and wanted to work another 4, at least through peak, which was known.”

Lie - “He quit with no notice”

Fact - “I gave 3 months notice of when I planned to leave at the earliest. I left when I was made the subject of a company wide email about my vacation time. The author didn’t spend more than 30 seconds writing it, evidenced by the time stamps of vacation award to email receipt, calling me by only my last name with no formal address (captain?) in a public email, and misspelling my name.”

Lie - “We were happy he left”

Fact - “HR called several times in weeks following my departure apologizing for how I was treated and asking what they could to for me to come back”

 

My post was unprofessional, especially using a spoof username and singling out a former boss online, I’ll agree.

I have to admit, I took a couple of your statements and misidentified you. The comments I made about your departure, I will admit, were wrong. Sorry. Though I disagree with your generalizations of AMF and always will.

 

frmrbuffdrvr I put my app into Ameriflight about 2 weeks ago and in wondering about the PHX base. Any thoughts on a good starting base? I have 1200hrs and I’m really looking to perfect my craft as a professional pilot.

 

PHX is a good base to start at. Particularly if that is where you want to be long term.

FreightDogs would be a good person to PM for more particulars.

I apologize for directing so much anger towards you. I misplaced stressors currently affecting me into a years old conflict and made myself look foolish. To anyone reading, I’d still advise being cautious with employment at Ameriflight, but that is based on my experiences which are not universal. frmrbuffdrvr and I have had good discussions at times and I am sure he has been a good manager to many other pilots.

frmrbuffdrvr I will be personally reaching out to you to formally apologize and put everything behind us, and deleting this account. Everyone stay safe and be careful during these times, best of luck.

Hey all, hopefully shifting gears away from the current drama on the thread - I'm a Waterski refugee and Ameriflight has been my only bite on the ol' resume. I'm excited to be getting into cargo considering the pandemic-induced hiring environment on the pax side and I'm looking forward to learning a new aircraft and getting some 135 TPIC solo time under my belt. Just a little curious about what I'm getting into - any pointers for training and IOE?

I'll be (sigh) commuting for the first 5-6 months but I'm either going to bid back towards home at that point if vacancies exist, or the family is moving out there. It would be hard to sell a house right now with the whole damned state locked down, and at any rate we haven't been in the house two years yet. I know that's gonna be tough but it's looking like this or unemployment so I guess I'll suck it up for as long as I need to. Any pointers in that regard? Do bases tend to open and close often (ie rent, don't buy if we have to move) or have things been pretty stable at Ameriflight lately?
