I went to work for a large management company near where I live, on a part 91/135 airplane. I have an ATP and PIC turbine. Its a trade off though. I traded the schedule for infrequent charters more money and less days away per month.

-"New Winter Items in Company Store" (Because the Colgan hats sold so well)

-"Save the Date - Holiday Parties" (Eventually nixed)

-"A Message From Sean Menke - The Benefits of One Culture" (Company gives pilot benefits to all employees)

-"Register now for our $10,000 weight-loss challenge!"

-"Ice Cream on Independence Day"

-"Your Company Store Opens Friday!"

-"Dispatch Scholarships Available for All Pinnacle Airlines Corp. Employees"

-"Recipe deadline!" (We are paying someone to collect submitted recipes!!)

-"Redbirds Extra Tickets and T-shirts!!!"

-"Request your Memphis In May BBQ Fest Wristbands NOW!"

These were just those under Menke's watch! How much has been spent on these programs and on staff to promote these programs? However, this one is my favorite AirMail

-"A Farewell to Phil"

The company had a going away party for Phil, along with a full catered brunch. How nice

At least they didn't weld a bunch of mini CRJ T-tails in the bed of small pick up trucks and drive them around the Gay pride parade in DC to present a sponsorship check, while promoting $39 fares to Florida like at Independence Air. What's that noise? Ohhh, it's called liquidation. Sorry for the thread jack.
