Earlier today, I spent some time at the HQ of Big Pilot Airways. As my 12.5 regular readers may recall, The Big Pilot (BP) scammed a jet which I wrote about here.
Now, BP, who makes most of us in the Cheddarsphere look like diptard liberals, runs his little charter service at egregious prices to support his medflight stuff…not that BP needs the money but his thinking is that anyone who’s stupid enough to pay his prices deserves to get where they want to go….with some exceptions….as we shall see.
I was hoping he’d get a few to repay me the time I spent getting re-qualified on this aircraft. The following are (almost) verbatim from some calls he’s received to book a charter. Note…BP=Big Pilot….SC=Silly Customers.
I happened to be in the office for this one.
BP….Hello, Big Pilot Charters, Big Pilot speaking.
SC….I’d like a quote on a price from xxxx to Denver on Sunday, August 24th and a return flight to xxxx on Saturday, August 30th. (Notice the diptard thought BP Airways would be available..not even a “are you available for the following dates?….Typical.)
BP….Are you going to the Democratic Convention?
SC….Yes.
BP….My carbon footprint is huge…why don’t you walk? {CLICK}
I told BP that he should be a little less aggressive and make some money. So..here’s the next one. (From the tape.)
BP….Hello, Big Pilot Charters, Big Pilot speaking.
SC….I’d like to know if you can fly me and three others from xxxx to Denver on 8/24?
BP….You’re lucky, I have just had a cancellation and can take you. Do you need a return flight?
SC….Well, yes we do, on Sunday, August, 31.
BP….OK…now, you understand that I have to charge a “relocation fee” since I have to fly to your city to pick you up. Is that OK with you?
SC….Ummmm…..OK, I can see that. I’m going to the Democratic Convention, can you give us a discount?
BP….Fuck You. {CLICK}
And, as Dave says at the excellent blog FL390, “Life on the line continues”.
I was so proud of BP that I bought him a lunch.
We did have a few “regular” charters and some normal medevac (not freebies for kids, just normal stuff under insurance contracts) to keep us busy.
In all honesty, the best part is that we have not had to fly any sick children for a pretty long time.
