EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

 well, decline a job offer with more money n accept work for less $ bc I wasn't happy where I was at. show up to work at 7 this morning, had our morning meeting n headed out. do a s/n check on all the acft, accounting for all acft on the line n match it up with what the customer says they had still on site. get the numbers, take them to the lead, lead says 2 other guys n myself need to be at the office in 45 min. I go get the other 2 n we show back up. remind ya, first day of work with the new incoming company, 5 of us are handed out our lay off notices. wow, what a freakin day to start the week off, hell for the month. on 31 jul, gonna gather my box up, take it hm and go to Houston, drop $3000 (that im hoping will materialize out of thin air) on my dang a&p n c where it will take me. to make matters worse, the place where I left was 1 person over strength n 2 of us left n 1 person filled the position to even it out. guess I wont be goin back to work for the dutch anytime soon.  ;D n a good note, there is freeloader who don't have to work, sit on their butts, drive around on their 24s with a blunt in 1 hand n a malt in the other and I still hav to pay for it, or I didn't run across a politician on my way home. I forgot, r they 5 or 10 point for hitting them with ur tck?

Ain't u a pilot? Have you tried geting a job flying choppers offshore to drilling rigs and such. There are some that work either 7 and 7 or 14 and 14 I think. Just a thought if you can fly.

Dammit Charles, I sure hate to hear that! shoot me a pm if there's anything I can do to help.........I don't know what kinda money you were making and im not 100% sure if by moving your box back to houston you mean you are moving back to houston but if so let me know. I'm pretty sure I could get you hooked up with a plant contractor job quick fast and in a hurry.

Im workin on my fixed wing private license but dont have it yet n fixn to hav to put it on hold till i get mech license to work on airplanes n helos in the civ sector. Hell if i was stick wiggler n had a couple 1000 hrs, id jump on a pilots job like stink on "u know what". Im a army trained helo mech by trade, same with an 18 wheeler mech n mrap mech. There is jobs out there, but gotta hav that damn a&p license. Im thinkin bout hittin up phi, the place jimco works for but gotta hav that mech license

 naw Justin, I nvr lived in Houston, but that is where the a&p school is and all I need for the school is $2400, pen, pencil and myself. Im not gonna ask my wife to give her sequestered job up again like I did while I was in the army so im lookin at headin back across the pond to Iraq or Afghanistan for 6-12 months. im gonna draft a letter to every tx state politician that works in dc and gets a free ride off our tax money and see if they can explain why we loose money n jobs bc they cant budget our tax money, we hav to feed house their last a$$es, pay for their plane rides to n from dc, but yet they keep their jobs, lie to every day and grin all the way to the bank. since I know right from wrong, I would go on a hunting safari and, well ill leave it to ur imagination. do they have a saringetti in dc? I hope so, maybe them snakes up there will get trampled by a heard of wildabeasts n take I rhino horn where the sun don't shine.

Dang bro. Look me up when you get to H- town. Lived here all my life...for the most part

from me.....who else. tapatalk

10 4 Charles, and x's 2 when you get to houston, drinks on me!

Well you know where I live. I wish I had an extra bed for you but I will buy you a meal when you are here.

Holler @ me Charles we'll make a round

Well Charles bud,......all I can do for you is pray,....but you can bet that I will do that! Good luck!

Well if things stay on track, i'll be goin to houston /spring the 28th for 2wks to get this dad-gum a&p license. Hopefully a couple wks after that, i'll be on a plane to iraq or afghan for a 90/30 rotation. Only work 9 mths a yr n get paid for 12. Hopefully this state dept gig pans out better than this ft hood gig. I figure a yr or two over there n i'll hav my house, tck, car, tractor n 4wheeler paid off, get me a small airplane n come home for a long while.

Jimco, do u work at the laffyette location for phi? If so, do they have a good size runway/landing strip there?

No, I work at the Morgan City field base.  The Lafayette facility is located on the Lafayette Regional Airport.
Delta flies 737's in and out of there. On a 7 & 7 sch. like we work, we work 6 months and get paid for 12.
Plenty of opportunity to work over on your 7 days off if you wish.

 oh ok jimco, yea I couldn't find an airport except for the 1 in Patterson, and my sectional said there is a lot of helicopter traffic. is there a way u can get me the majority of the facilities that have aircraft at them please? if possible, I would like to see about flying in instead of driving, if I would be aloud to do that if I was to go to work for phi. if its in the Houston area, im not allowed to go into that area bc of the type of airspace, unless I fly below their rings.


thank you firemedic.

You at hooks??

from me.....who else. tapatalk

PHI Morgan City is about 10 miles from Patterson Airport
PHI Houma is on the air base in Houma- small planes in and out
 Thats the only ones I know of on or near small airports. You will still need a vehicle to get around and back and forth to motel or company housing. There are guys from Texas, Alabama, North La., Florida, Miss.
all working at the base I work at (Morgan City) . They all make the drive every week. Every one seems to like their jobs. They ALL love the 7 & 7 work schedule.  You put in 80 hrs. in 7 days so you are still getting
paid on your 7 days off.

  ???

Sorry to hear it Charles. I'll be praying

Guess thats a yes...im not to far. Well figure something out to keep busy and mind happy

Only 1 if any. Its my catdo pup. She has been taken intrest in the pigs in the pen, but she aint but 9mths old.

I have room if needed. Have a run about 40x10. Next to Chuy male dogo. He stays under lock and key, hot fence and plywood. Hes a stubborn one. He breaks out only to go to front door.

ok, let me see what the hotel says first. I appreciate the offer, may take u up on it, but it will depend a lot on the location of you in relation to the hotel and the airport. from whati can see on the aerial map of the area, there aint crap there until u get closer to the 45. im trying to plot the fastest route down, but im stuck using 1960 unless I take pig trails, or come down 45. in hate 1960, dang trffic lights every 100ft.

yes 1960 sucks. I would look in tomball try to stay away from 45. also 249 has some extended stays. most hotels have a 35 pound weight limit. my father in law is the fire chief for tomball, so im close to hooks. hooks airport is actually not that bad. Lifeflght has a station there, DEA, Tomball has their droid there. its small but compact

 the school I think has a deal worked out with a hotel somewhere nearby, don't know which yet, but will find out nxt wk. with the layoff just off the horizon, gotta go the cheaper way, so im limited to housing cost. I will call the testing station mon. n see what n where stuff is located and base my figuring off that. its fixin to cost me $3000 for 2wks, 3000 I don't have, but will open a lot more doors in aviation maintenance. 

Wish ya the best of luck. just let me know if ya need a place for gyp. I will clean up alittle anyways. If staying overweekend maby leave early one sat to do some pin work...i have a pit I would like to try out

from me.....who else. tapatalk

Will b headin down that way sun afternoon. Hopin to b in around 5-6pm. Shoot me a pm with ur number n i'll get up with ya when i get down there
