I have absolutely no problem with a company purchasing an aircraft and
then chartering it out. In fact it works great for me. I fix them and
the more hours you put on the airframe the more I have to fix it. But I
do have a problem when the CEO comes out and says no raises and only
half of the bonus you earned, all because of the "Perfect Economic
Storm" , oh but I am going to get a $200,000.00 raise because I am going
to change my job title. Now that is where I have a problem.
Sorry I just needed to vent for a moment.
