I feel sorry for them too.capt. poopy pants wrote:good luck working for this west coast a- hole , he's as bad as the other jerk@kfc. feel sorry for all of you.
Their profit sharing cheque was a piddly $4,000.00. Hardly worth it.
Also, Flair didn't bid on the PCL contract, whaddaya suppose THAT means?
Keep on hating...

Editted is the money behind Flair.WING IT wrote:What does Editted have to do with Flair?
Editted rents office space from X, buys flight attendant services from X, buys flight dispatch from X, buys maintenance from X.
Have a look at the addresses on the recent job posting from Flair.
It's the same bloody address!!!!
My God, how clueless can you people be!!!!

Their job posting sounds a lot like the agreements that Skyservice and Sunwing currently have in place. I wonder who they will be flying for and where their bases will be located.787 wrote:Recent job posting show Flair looking for 737NG crew. Do they have 737's or are getting some in the near future ?

Anybody know the name of the pilot at ACE who refused to go above the legal duty day prescribed by TC and get fired or even reprimanded for it.whipline wrote:Actually nature boy, the lease cost of the DC-10 was killing ACE. They were making payments on an aircraft that was not flying. The DC-10 was not flying because there training program was not approved by transport, and rightfully so.
What ACE should have done was convert the DC-10 to a KC-10 and refuel their airplanes in the air. Then their crews could have flown longer then the 17 hr days they were normally doing.

You do realize that Wikipedia info can be written by anybody. ANYBODYteacher wrote:What killed ACE:
1) DC-10 training was not approved by transport AFTER several pilots had already went through it. By pulling the plug it grounded the plane which sat in the desert AFTER all the mods had been completed. Air Canada (the prime customer) than went with Global instead of ACE for the Europe flying which ended the only real client ACE had for the DC-10.
2) No other Canadian company has been able to do the Cuba contract for one simple reason. The Cubans don't pay well and no company has wanted to do the contract at the offered price. Flair may be doing Havana to Toronto but thats it.
There's probably a lot more reasons but these are the ones that I was aware of. As well, the pilots may have unionized BUT no changes to working conditions were ever implemented. The company went under oweing $10 million dollars. If you are gonna tell us that the debt was racked up in 6 months WITHOUT the pilots ever having a change in pay or working conditions your nuts.
I found this interesting link which gives a little backgrounder on ACE.
