MINI Posted September 2, 2003 Report Posted September 2, 2003 I was flying some of my regular customers this morning,when one of them asked me if we had raised our rates since the fires started in BC. I said no. He then proceeded to tell me that he had phoned a company to get thier rates so he could bid a job for a customer in his area.Unfortunatly not my area.The company was more than ready to take his business.Told him 1400.00 an hour for a Jetbox all inclsive.Wow how nice of them.He asked why the sudden increase and was told its a matter of Supply and Demand!!!!! I hope all thier regular customers phone them and get the same answer,and then never go back to them again. :down: :down: :down: :down: :down: Quote
downwash Posted September 2, 2003 Report Posted September 2, 2003 Yes, and if we all operated with those principles and policies, there'd be rampant inflation all around and it would be no time before we'd be a tightly-regulated industry again. An operator doing that could well be on their last legs and, probably, deservedly so. Quote
100ft Posted September 4, 2003 Report Posted September 4, 2003 Orrrrrr.......... Is that operator one of the few in touch with reality and wanting to start making money AND at the same time pay his/her pilots properly. Careful what you don't ask for. What's worse $1400 or $600? Quote
downwash Posted September 4, 2003 Report Posted September 4, 2003 I wouldn't know, 100'. I only work for a company with some of the best business practices, best reputations, FAIR wages, and lowest staff turnover rates in the industry. Quote
100ft Posted September 9, 2003 Report Posted September 9, 2003 It's nice to read abt job satisfaction in-progress. Well done for your part in that. (I got a peek at NMO the other night.....needs new paint!) Quote
