Of course Clint Allen knew what was going on! But he received special treatment from Avantair so he wasn't going to blow the whistle. We always had his special requested 'low-sodium V-8' waiting for him onboard. (OCC to Pilot: Clint Allen called for a flight! Drop everything and drive to the store to get him his low sodium V-8 NOW!!)If another Owner had a flight scheduled but Clint Allen called for a flight, screw the other Owner. my whole schedule was changed to accommodate Clint. The other owners were lied to by Owner Services about the reason for the cancellation or delay. Most often the pilots were the scapegoat. Clint's relationship with Avantair was symbiotic: They scratched his back and he scratched theirs, including free advertising through his column in Forbes.

There's another refrence to crews being asked to go off and get Sodium Free V8's for a board member.
Seriously...owners were further delayed for this crap. Imagine...you're already 200 minutes delayed. Owner Services calls you up and say's the flight will now be another 30 minutes late. Of course they don't say the real reason, but in this case it was because a BOARD MEMBER...FLYING FOR FREE and NEEDED TWO PLANES TO COVER HIS FLIGHT also demanded sodium free V8's!
Think about that...the board member is flying for free....he's screwing owners...he's further screwing owners by forcing crews to drop what they're doing to go find 'sodium free V8'.
You go find that. Where do you think you can find it? I know...I've tried gas stations...nope. Grocery stores...nope. I've never found it. But I've rented cars to go try. I've pushed back other owners an hour or two whilst I look. Haven't EVER seen the stuff. I don't even know if it exists. But I know I've flown a POS board member who DEMANDED that crap.
...sodium free V8. Really??? You'd think the guy would be in shape and not be the fat ass that he is.

Never flew him, but had plenty of other odd requests for stuff that delayed flights. What I wanna know is how often he did that and then he never touched it... |
