I left directly due to HH.

He thinks he is still in the US Army as a full Col.

As a Vet I've seen too many like him before.


Appreciate all the great insider perspectives here. I was going to apply but am now dissuaded.

You are a better man than I.

Sometimes I wish I could do the same.

These days, when people accuse someone of 'racism', I tend to discount their argument as just a personal attack against someone they don't like. Maybe the guy is indeed an assho1e, but most times when someone is called a racist, it's just because the accuser can't find a legitimate reason to not like them.
If one person complains, then I would agree with you. When there are consistent complaints from various pilots across various bases, then it becomes a trend.

Odd that HH left AA after 15 years. What’s the story there?

I would be careful about applying at Avelo. Guys have been disciplined without hearings or appeals. It’s documented on your company record. Good luck finding a job after that. The CP is former military without any people skills. He got an exemption from the FAA when he applied to be the Chief Pilot because he did not have the required leadership experience. The company got an exemption because they used his non-flying military experience to circumvent actual airline management experience.

You are only as good as your last flight. Don’t make a mistake and have your career suffer because the CP HH is not capable of dealing with actual issues with actual people.

If you hated so much why don’t you just quit. It seems that it’s miserable for you. Don’t portray your unhappiness on people who actually like it and try to make it better.

You are absolutely right. HH is an idiot. A racist and an insecure little man. That's why he tends to bully those he dislikes. People like him become a liability for any corporation, so he will not last. Ignore him, that drives any bully crazy. But it's not as bad as you portray it. The Pilots can make it better. I smell a Union in the air.

Great intel. I’ve read enough on here the last few days to remove Avelo from my list. Thanks for the feedback.

Breeze has voted in ALPA and has began negotiations meetings with the company. How far out would Avelo wait to vote a union in?
