| Re: Going, going, ASA is gone. Well, last year the rumor was ASA was going to be bought by Virgin, but, according to Virgin America's website they have an order in place for and plan to fly Airbus jets so that does not seem like quite the fit. Plus I'm pretty sure that VirginAmerica is having all sorts of problems getting underway because we've been hearing about them for 2 years and nothing has come to pass yet. Also, I believe there is some law that requires any us airline to have majority ownership in the US. I think that is one of the problems they are having, and would cause problems with buying a us airline. So whether Comair gets sold or stays is anyone's guess. Getting bought by Virgin, seems like just a big rumor. BTW, I thought you said you were at Comair. |

Also, Comair (The Airline) has excellent customer service, to the point as to where if you have a dispute with thier school (On the local level at SFB)and its' not being handled properly,again from a previous post you know who to call in CVG. Case Closed and I'm satisfied. |

[/ QUOTE ] Tomahawk, you are quite the character. You are not qualified to even begin to say what I have or don't have. What gives you the right to open your mouth and speak about me or anyone else on this board for that matter? You want to speak about something, talk about why all those instructors bailed on the academy.(and went to Regional) Talk about why you are so cererbrally challenged and can spout off your mouth about things you don't have any clue as to what your talkin about. Talk about why the actual hiring of CFI canidates is around 20% ( As told to me by a good friend and a CFI stage check pilot who still works for the academy and was told to make the stage checks stricter because of the back log of students who really aren't needed or don't want to go to Houston or New Bedford so fail them over anything.) You want to spout off your mouth, start yappin. Its' obvious you have a problem with me- is it because I tell it like it is? Is your life so unfullfilling you have to talk this bullmanure so students that were there and weren't getting thier problems solved on the local level were told to go call Fred Buttrell ? And so you attempt this personal attack? Why? What's your problem Tomahawk? Tell everyone about it and oh by the way, you never know by the time you get to Comair who will be sittin on your left. Can't wait to meet you Tomahawk, Its (for you) gonna be a looooooooooooooong trip. What's this about a year of probation for new F.O.'s and well, I hope you perform well. I will give you this courtesy, don't bid your trips with me and stay away from telling certain people who you really are. Thier are captains who really don't like the DCA Arrogance some of you display. Like yourself and I'm sure you know of one Arrogant bastard who thought he knew more than the Captain he was flying with. He is no longer employed with the company. You really ought to watch your attitude, hawk. In this career, its' EVERYTHING!!  |

| Re: Going, going, ASA is gone. For your information too, Tomahawk, there are a lot of F.O.s' and Captains who started at their airline by throwing bags and customer service. I have a HUGE amount of respect for those people that started that way and so does their airline. Look at H46Bubba. You want to put him down because he has chosen that path for his family? He's not given up on his dream and I'm glad to see he is still pursuing it. So why don't you tell all the F.O.'s and Captains who started that way why they, are somehow inferior to you. Can't wait to hear your response. |

I don't know who is your "friend from the stage check group", but he is feeding you wrong info. I do work on that group now and was never told to fail anyone, unless the person really fails. As a matter of fact the Standz wait is about to go to no waiting time due to the recent enrollments and the Chinese contracts. We even hired insturctors from outside the academy for Houston. Sorry Bastard but you are the one that have been spouting your mouth here lately... I really enjoyed you making a real case for yourself when you got aggravagted by the 'blankety party" thing. Are you going to answer in the same fashion? Please do as it really helps when you stick your foot in your mouth like that . By the way the "Mafia" act is getting old... |

[/ QUOTE ] Fabio, can Tomahawk speak for himself? Where did I mention enrollment in my post? I couldn't you allege "cut it"? That's not what the F.A.A. said after I left you guys' money milkin pit, or COMAIR!! I don't have to be biased or malicious, this is what I was told by one of your instructors on the inside. I just related that to everyone else. The instructors that left got tired of all the Bull Manure they have to put up with. You claim they sucked, why did the almighty DCA hire them in the first place? Does DCA Human Resources heads reside in thier Anuses? Are they incompetent? C'mon Fab. puuuuuuuuhleaaaaaaasssssse!! And why did you hire instructors on the outside for Houston? If you guys have a standz wait why not pick instructors from your pool o' fools? (Hey I made a funny!) I heard enrollment was up mostly Chinese though. I also heard DCA SFB might close too. I just asked an open ended question. And what's wrong with tellin people to protect thier money? I was drinkin DCA Kool Aid with you, but was awaken from my drunken stupor by a detox ala JETCAREERS!! And one more thing, Don Fabio, You insult the Father? You tell others about the man who helped you? Don Fabio, you know I still got those photos of heavy Debbie. The Father, has spoken.  P.S. Aggravated yet?? Fabio, underneath all that meaness I know your really Barney the Dinosaur. Feel a song comin on yet??  |

| Re: Going, going, ASA is gone. I see we have another episode of as "the Jet Careers turns!" Hello Fat Bastard, (I mean court jester)....your mockery of Jet Careers precedes you. I am surprised you talk about attitude, ye old spoiled child who got caught in the cookie jar.....You're right, I don't know who you are. Why don't you tell us? My posting here is not to attack you as a person. It's to attack what you think you are trying to accomplish by your slander and your hearsay. Nothing you have written has been 100% factual. Your only reason for posting here is because things did not go your way and so you want to start controversy for other people that might want to come to this school, because you did not make it here as a CFI and that's too bad. That is the usual case. I don't have anything against people who sling bags at airports. In fact, I used to do that for a living! Why not post who you are so we can see your real record here at the academy and where you are in training. Psychologists say people pick costumes who most represent themselves... Is this true Fat Bastard? 'Tell everyone about it and oh by the way, you never know by the time you get to Comair who will be sittin on your left. Can't wait to meet you Tomahawk, Its (for you) gonna be a looooooooooooooong trip.' ......YEAH!! LIKE THAT WILL EVERY WILL EVER HAPPEN!! I'm not holding my breath! By the way, we have had 18 and 16 new CFI hires here in the last 2 months respectively in the last 2 Stanz classes. I hardly think that is what I'd call 'rough treatment.' We are short of CFI's, why would they be trying to stifle the hiring of our graduates???? Because, you have no clue!!! You spout off because YOU have no clue!!  |

[/ QUOTE ] Mr. Hawk, If you notice, I asked for verification of rumors, never said they were fact. That, sir, does not qaulify as slander or hearsay. I have nothing against those at the academy, but management is a booger. O. K. Hawk you guys had these new hires, that good. Please verify if a bunch of guys went to regional or not. Also, my sources tell me a 152 or 172 did a cartwheel on 9R today. Is this true? I hope everyone is okay. Also heard TSA is in everyones' butt. True? See? my post are about facts and finding them, not making you my adversary. I told folks why I picked Fat Bastard from a previous post. Why did you pick Tomahawk? Please excuse my long trip post. One day we're gonna look back on this banter and say, man who cares? If I can save a flight student from spending a huge amount of money on ratings and help them to go to a flight school that is not in it for the money I will. That's my MOA. Any hoo, I can respect you and your views but you are mistaken about my trying to bad mouth the academy and make stuff up. Again if the academy is so ethical it will show and thier reward will be proper. However, if it is not, well...................................... nuff said. P.S. Don't hold your breath, you could turn blue and die from hypoxia! (I made another funny!!)  |
