Wasted Trip
Hi Yall,
Just got back from Winchester ,VA. I went up there to fly an old L3 , but after having the arrangements made for the last week after I drive all the way up there, I am told that no one had put me on the schedule. ( Had been having to reschedule due to bad weather for a month). Of course the young fellow at the counter said well I can get you in at 7pm, and then for alittle while on Sunday. Which , yes, was decent of him to try to pull something off. But when someone has driven for 6 and a half hours to fly as much as humanly possible Saturday afternooon and Sunday, it just would not do. When I am willing to go that far I expect to fly more than enough to make it worth my while. So I thought about it for a minute or two, said "f--- it" I'm going back to TN. Crappy way to do biz, and I just could not see giving not even one hard earned dollar to Valley Aviation . If a company is not going to write down reservations they need to stop taking them altogether. So I didn't get to fly the L3 , which is a bummer! I looked forward to it. But at least I stopped by Lexington and paid my respects to the General. I sure hope you ladies and gents had more fun flying than I did this weekend. -- Patrick Dixon student SPL aircraft structural mech |
