Request to remove Connect profile
 

Now that the forum is officially closed, and it lasted way too long, the profile should be removed. It is 100% inaccurate. It misleads anyone that sees it that might apply under false infirmation. I have to say it again, none of that profile is accurate and if APC has such high standards, it should be removed.

Agreed, the profile reflects inaccurate and misleading information. Seems like some sketchy recruiting tactic. The profile should be updated or removed.

Need to get AHA / EXPRESSJET removed too

The forum moderators have zero control over the airline profiles.

So is it IB marketing dept who deals with that?

So what happened? They aren’t actually paying people $250K to fly a Dash? 🤯

There’s a lot of airlines listed that are long gone. I know it’s divorced from APC Forums- sent many corrections in that are summarily ignored.

Connect Forum and APC
 

If any of you all want to be part of the solution please let me know how you can get this fixed. I can send you countless email trails, attempts to call, using the IB help form to update the profile and get NO RESPONSE. It appears that IB is all about taking our sponsorship money but not actually updating the page to our requests. Like I said if anyone has the insight to how to actually get it updated not email so and so, as I have done that countless times and get nowhere. Feel free to DM me.

The only standard APC has is who is paying the ad space.

Connect Forum
 

All of that said if you all want the forum removed I am not going to fight you over it. Originally it's sole purpose was to answer questions about us as we got started. So with that I bid this forum a farwell.

It was you
 

You built a misleading, and 100% inaccurate, profile on APC. You did it to trick people and it failed. Whomever FTF is did you a lot of harm with those rants. You were given great advice to fix it and you could have on the forum but chose not too and now your backpedaling on the whole thing.

You and FTF have done so much damage to your reputation and chose that path yourselves. Between your website, other sites, and here, no one knows what to believe and in fact, no one believes you anymore. Again, YOU did this, no one did it to you.

The profile needs to be removed ASAP as it is a blatant lie PERIOD. Another company, will remain nameless but it’s SOUTHERN by nature, had all it’s info pulled and so should you.

You and FTF ought to be ashamed of yourselves. You’ve embarrassed yourselves, your company and the industry as a whole with your behaviour. It’s shameful and will, if not already, come back on you.

Why the locking of thread, and why do you want to remove the apc profile. Genuinely curious. You say they are misleading about pilot pay.... How?

Read through the main thread for info on why their profile needs to be updated or removed. Their claims are false and their compensation numbers reflect unrealistic requirements that 99% of DECs will not be able to achieve.

I don’t agree with locking the thread, but he is right about the information being inaccurate and misleading. Seems like a pretty sleazy tactic to recruit pilots.

I’ve learned throughout my career that non-pilot recruited really don’t know the lies they’re selling. General HR has no clue about the reality of most things day time day to pilot. They’re just towing the party line from their superiors. It’s true for all they know.

I tend to agree with that.

Exception
 

Is that if they do know, because they were told the truth but then told to lie about it. I think WMrecruiter has known all along, FTF as well. It was a gimimick to get people to apply and then you find out the truth. They are not the only ones granted but the profile and forum, that was pulled and the second one closed, was downright blatant. From what I have gathered, they are struggling in more ways than one. Those flightaware posts show it. I also do not believe the pay is 250,000$ a year. In addition, it has been over a year with lots of drama and they STILL do not have a certificate. Sometimes the obvious just stares at you right in the face.

If the forums got yanked, why not the profile which is the worst of it?

Update

The only aircraft flying has not flown in two weeks now and still no AOC. Something again must have happened. That profile was updated on Sept 6th but the airline isn’t operating.

I think it’s fair to say at this point that is has failed. I too think the profile should be removed as this company is not operating. APC is better than that. AirBahn was taken down pretty quickly which was the right thing to do. Why not put Avatar airlines on here then?

Pilot’s should not be scammed on APC.

There’s plenty of “dead airlines” that still have profiles. Great Lakes is one. I went through and flagged them via email a while back- nothing changed.

Good point
 

APC can do better, a much better job with these companies. Just take them off. Pretty simple. Not sure why these companies are still on here. In the very least put a disclaimer on, “Currently not operating”.

And there’s this

69 million is a lot of money for an airline to lose Fair Dinkum.
