Oups, I've been fired. :(( help needed

[SFRT - Frenchy]

I had some arguments with my supervisor which happens to be the best friend of the chief pilot. They finally terminated me yesterday as a flight instructor. The official reason was that I missed a meeting, gave my pay check 1 day late and gave a scheduling request 2 hours late.

They couldn't nail me on my student performance as my students received grades way superior to the school average. Some students wrote letters telling how pleased their were by the relationship I could establish with them, how well I prepared them and how dedicated I was to their succes.

I knew those guys were after me, they finally could find an "official reason". School paperwork is definitly more important than the student preparation ... my mistake, I thought I was working in a flight school.  

I'm pretty anoyed because I'm a foreign working in US, INS paperwork is a bit of a pain and employees run away from it. If anyone is looking for a flight instructor or any flying job, please let me know. I may have a big mouth and say the things that I don't like, but I'm dedicated to my profession and the interest of my students.  

In advance, thank you for your time.

Sorry to hear it Frenchy      

Feel powerless here, lemme know if there's anything I can do to help...

[Creamo]

I've been in a union for so long, this is pretty much unheard of, and there is usually alot more to the story. Don't matter, and it ain't my business.

However, there are laws for protecting getting fired without just cause regardless. Heap in the foreigner INS deal (believe me, Im on my 2nd year trying to get my fiance here, I KNOW) and they got a real PR/legal discrimination problem.

With that said, if your get in a bind, the "Creamo Hope For AH Diehard Oldtimers Future Foundation" could pry pick up a month's AH dues if yer in need.  

After payday though, sheesh!

(Ask Santa, my ex-roommate sent me old mail collected a year old awhile back, and his joystick shippment payment stub was in there! Damno! They shipped it back after 30 days   )

[Jochen]

I think Taleban and Al Quewhat has opening for competent flight instructor!  

[weazel]

Sorry to hear this Frenchy.  I am also not familiar with your trade or industry.  But I bet sites like monster.com may help.  There is an airport near my home.  If you want me to check for you I will.

[Pollock]

Oops almost forgot.  You are huge sphincter muscle Jochen.  And dont worry the American millitary will help bail your country out if your land gets attacked. amazinhunk!

[Keez]

now now, cut the guy some slack. I think that only the very best comedians dare to make jokes like Jochen's. They are not afraid of the "political correctness" that America is always overwhelmed with after something bad happened. Just because it is (you have to admit it) funny AND shocking, it is a joke that really hits the spot. Anyways, that's my point of view. It's not like he insulted anyone.

[funkedup]

I gotta admit I laughed at that one.  

Frenchy if I win the lottery I'll hire you to instruct me, OK?  

[Tac]

Best of luck frenchy, ill try and see what I can find here in florida. You may want to talk to BohdiArm, I bet he's got some contacts here in orlando.

If not, hey, French Gigolo's are in high demand around the silver haired ladies of Florida!
