Jeffrey,
Just a brief recap of today's events. The luggage
suburban arrived, all the
crew brought bags into the cabin leaving the driver
to bring the boxes to rear
of aircraft for loading. Bill was approached by the
driver and he explained to
Bill that he loaded two cases in the wheel well.
Bill could not hear or
understand him and pushed him away. Then Port
authority confronted the driver
(Lenny) why he put those boxes in wheel well, "he
responded that he told the crew
what he had done, and it was fine,,,Bill never
understood what he said.
Bill is very noticeably deaf, along with not caring
what Lenny was saying to
him. That issue I will address when we get home.
--I have been watching Bill on his decision making
weather calls since the
Boston flight that Bill and Dave were on last month
when I was at Sikorsly input
meeting with Darren. If you remember correctly I
told Billl to wait till
after frontal passage, you call him, and he said it
was fine. of course when you
showed up at airport you where delayed due to
lightning all over the place.
***Todays routing was totally uncalled for, Bill
received his flight plan
from Universal Weather which does our international
routings. The flight plan
weather was 4 hours old. I told him to get an update
briefing, they told him that
it was the best route still (an additional 347 miles
or 43min.)
I told Bill I looked at the weather and it was
isolated meaning, we go
circumnavigate the tall thunderstorms and stay on a
more direct flight.
He was still convinced that this was the correct
route to fly, and he told me
the Airliners were diverting. I asked him where he
received this info, he
said Universal (they do not do Airline flights). I
took it upon myself to contact
New York flight service and clearance delivery at
JFK and asked if American
Airlines heading to San Juan where taking our
route,,,they said no,
flight service said they had seen the storms out
along our route BUT
Isolated.
I told Bill in the future to investigate all his
sources before going so far
off course. (I am monitoring Bill's shaking hand
similar to Alzheimer. I will
report back after my findings).
The standards I expect form my pilots is the service
and detication that I
give to you for a safe flight. Bill owns two shoe
stores in Columbus with his
brother that occupies his time and also plays the
stock market very poorly.
Nobody is a full vested / love to fly person. That
is why you find me on 98% of
your trips, I trust no one with your safety yet,.
You have taken care of me, and I will reciprocate
times 10.
I am sorry for such an uncalled for flight last
night, I will compile new
safety
rules for the aircraft and Helicopters including
Passenger manifest before
departure from Sarah and new luggage procedures.
Bill is absentminded which cost him his previous job
with Sheldon.
I have been very happy with Dave's attitude and
performance, I can count on
him. ( with a little push form me). I sent him to
Bell 407 school last week to
get him up to speed as back up. Dave will not fly
you in 407 in the near
future,
I'm thinking of him as a strong copilot in S76C++
with myself and Nicolas,
I am still recruiting Pete Rathgib from United and
Darren Rothell, who can be
groomed with a firm hand, he is growing up., Last is
Steve Lister who is
Captain for Jet Blue, ( we bought him to Africa with
us).
Sorry this was so long winded but I had to get it
off my chest at this late
hour.
always,
Your Chief Pilot.Spoke to JFK tower ,,, everything is fine, with some
of my kind words and no
incident paper work. I made them laugh, which worked
well,
