If I ran an op...and yeah, I don't, and you're glad I don't, and frankly I'm glad, too...I think I could stop a lot of the b*tching and moaning.


First I'd interview guys by looking at their certs, running an FAA check on them for accidents/incidents, and if those 2 hoops were jumped through, I'd ask them to explain the crew rest provisions of 135.


Based on the bullsh*t on this Forum, that's something 99% of you D*ckBra*ns have some problem with. 


...and anybody who does, doesn't have the brainpower to push a grass mower, much less fly a helicopter. 


I'd have one rule: No Complaining to anyone except me, the DirOps. Open Door Policy: Any questions, call me directly and we'll clear them up then and there, followed by an email communication to e-e-e-e-verybody, who might just have the same concerns but not the co-joe-nees to voice them. That way e-e-e-e-everybody learns. 

I'd enforce the no-complaining rule by the Gestapo system: Anybody who overheard complaints on the job site would be required to inform me secretly, after which the complainer would be terminated immediately. And anybody who heard of anybody not reporting a complainer would be required to inform me secretly, so that both the complainer and the non-reporter would be terminated. This wonderfully simple system worked great for a whole 12 years in Not-See (can't say "N  a  z  i") Germany, and just think how much time would be saved on the job site from the elimination of idle and distracting chatter. 

Legit complainers--i.e., those who followed the rules and called me--would either have their complaints addressed by implementing their suggested change, or be told why it couldn't be done, through reference to the regulations, which would be clearly explained to them, and shown to them. After which, they'd be required to explain it back, and sign a piece of paper that they understood. Non-compliance with this procedure would result in--you guessed it: termination.

Now this little Utopia I've described is probably too harsh, much much too harsh, for all you Flower Children Geriatrics, Mushroom-Pickers, Folks in Touch With Your Feminine Side (which includes some, but not all, of the Feminine Gender--we don't discriminate, our Pilots would be expected to act as if they had co-joe-nees, whether they actually do or not...), and last but not least, the Modern Era Snowflakes of all shapes, sizes, physical descriptions, educational backgrounds, experience and/or political orientaion. But I bet it would suit the good old-fashioned Working Pilots just fine. 

Have a Nice Day.
