Letter To King
Abdullah
RJ: The Full Uncensored Story
Ground-Pilots, Deadly Liaisons, Chronic Liars, Blame-Shifters,
and A Big Calamity CRASH Waiting to Happen
1ST Independent Safety Reference - M Magazine, 2002.
Our Dear Beloved Royal Majesty King Abdullah the Second May God Bless
Him,
We are writing to Your Majesty so as to worn of an imminent Catastrophe
that is now long overdue at Royal Jordanian. The situation at RJ in
regards to Flight Crew morals is at a record low, and the danger bells
are ringing vociferously.
The more you read Your Majesty the more you will be alarmed, as we have
written this report starting from the least devastating and gradually
revealing the more distressing of facts, that by the time the reader
reaches the last word in this report, the reader could be knocked down
with a feather!
Good decent respectable pilots will definitely like Your Majesty knowing
all the facts. It’s the rotten incompetent pilots that will be upset and
shaken by this report, which is quite expectable.
Being under-staffed(First Major Problem) is the main worry this letter
is addressing and is the DIRECT CAUSE of the fact that pilots at RJ are
critically overworked, horridly treated, underpaid, and dangerously
frustrated with the working conditions.
Airlines that enjoy enduring success and excellent safety records have
core values and a core purpose that remain fixed while their business
strategies and internal practices endlessly adapt to a changing world.
The dynamic of preserving the core while stimulating progress is the
reason that airlines such as Emirates, Qatar, Qantas, British Airways,
and others became elite establishments able to renew themselves and
achieve superior long term performances, employee satisfaction, and
safety records. At Royal Jordanian, the management has none of the
above!
Your Majesty, we don’t want to be the voice of doom, but this is not an
attention-grabber gimmick, nor is this a personal attack on anyone, this
is a note stating that ALL OUR GOVERNMENTAL CIVIL AVIATION SECTORS -
mainly Royal Jordanian - NEEDS AN IMMEDIATE OVEHALL, NOW!
Nevertheless, there is a Mafia in charge of the Flight Operations(Second
Major Problem) and in charge of the abysmal situation we are in now, and
it must be held accountable; for the actions of this Mafia - if they are
to continue at the current rate - are a DEFINITE ACCIDENT waiting to
happen. WE PROMISE YOU THAT.
Thieves have honor, at least among themselves, these Mafia members DON’T
even have that!
Your Majesty, this Mafia works as an organised mafia family crime
syndicate. Some of its members - like the wives of the mafia bosses -
are forced into playing along and unquestionably obeying the SoleMan,
who has forcefully earned the nickname ‘SoleMan’ because he runs the
company as if he is the Sole Man in charge of what he believes is his
personal inherited company, and has also proven his name’s initials
worth “S.O” because of his usual answer to most of us “Sod Off”!
Forgive us Your Majesty for telling you this, but our beloved Queen, Her
Majesty Queen Rania was put in a life-compromising situation on the
first A340 flight from France to Amman.
As Your Majesty might know, that situation was due to the bad planning
of the captain that flew the airplane back to Amman as he forgot to
properly set up and provide the necessary navigational database inputs
into the Flight Management System which basically tells the airplane
where to fly - on a safe track or into a mountain - and thus was the
delay in arrival back home!
If Your Majesty doesn’t know about it, we wouldn’t be surprised as a
huge cover-up operation and second and third party help was swiftly
provided from outside sources and ALLAH Lataf! A point to mention for
honesty is that the CEO was not informed about this.
We still remember how a pilot error and bad weather recognition took
away the life of a Jordanian Queen in the past, the late Queen Alya’a.
Moreover, we still remember the lucky escape of Your Majesty’s brother
as he parachuted out from the C130 seconds before it stalled and crashed
killing all onboard due to the crew’s disorientation through an aerial
manoeuvre!
Furthermore, how can we forget that petrifying incident when two out of
the three Royal Squadron TriStar’s engines flamed out at low level over
Paris - due to bad emergency procedures’ handling - with the late King
Hussein onboard - may God’s Blessings be Upon Him.
Or when a Royal Squadron helicopter crashed and killed more than 10 high
ranking army officers due to the crew’s departure from followed SOPs, a
helicopter that flew the late King Hussein - may God’s Blessings be Upon
Him - just 2 days before it crashed!
… And the list of close to death encounters goes on Your Majesty, so
please Your Majesty give this truly valid report few minutes of what we
hope will become your best spent time ever and please Your Majesty do
not dismiss this warning as the results are too disastrous to
contemplate.
It all comes down to the fact that RJ pilots are under-numbered and
overworked, and thus we should be increased - in order to be healthily
staffed on the short run and more importantly the long run - by at least
27 % on top of the current total number - the total number inclusive of
the poor unlucky souls called pilots who are currently serving their
Operations Sentence as Dispatch /Office Boys “Morasi-leen”!
Furthermore -for mysterious reasons- the SoleMan of this Mafia is
relentlessly and obstinately refusing the idea of recruiting ANYONE what
so ever as A DIRECT ENTRY PILOT(Third Major Problem), and thus our
misery goes on.
Not only this, but the Mafia’s members egos are so huge we are afraid
that one day one of these hefty egos is going to bring an airplane down!
This is substantiated by - to mention the least - the recent incident we
suffered in Russia.
This is not wheel-chair criticism for the sake of criticism; the
situation - to put it lightly -is as serious as a heart attack. What
makes it even more threatening is that it is Degenerative; some days
there might be symptoms, other days might be symptoms free, but as time
goes by the situation is GUARENTEED to get worse.
The Tail-Scrap the A320 suffered in Moscow was due to the Big- Headed
captain of that flight! We all know how self-conceited, arrogant, and
self-centred the captain of that flight is!
The captain who scraped the plane was becoming more and more complacent
as the days went by, he has ruined the careers of many pilots, and not
only that, the Tragi-Comique about it all is that he is an A320 TRAINING
and CHECK Pilot who is supposed to set the standards for the type he
tail-crashed!
Overconfidence is a killer in aviation! If they must insist, let them
kill themselves, but not the passengers or RJ’s reputation!
Our problem is with the operational management of RJ. We are talking
about the Mafia in charge of the operations, a Mafia that goes up the
ladder all the way to the CEO of RJ, but - giving him the benefit of the
doubt - stops just before reaching him.
The CEO acts with good intent and he has no greedy goals as his
predecessor- since we all know that he comes from a reputable and
wealthy background- but what is a real shame is that he is closed to
discussions or reasoning when it comes to pilot related matters, not
because he is autocratic - at least that’s what we are made to believe -
but because he is not a pilot, and thus he keeps referring pilot related
problems to his Operation’s VP, the infamous head and the ignorant
orchestra SoleMan of the Mafia that is causing us the grief in the first
place!
Responsibility cannot be broken down, and to make things worse, the
Mafia has unbelievably mesmerised the mind of the CEO and has taken full
control of it.
This is why we are writing to Your Majesty, because only a Royal Mind is
above being mesmerised and we hope that you can put a once and for all
end to all of this MOCHERY.
Your Majesty, it is frightening how dependent the CEO of the company is
on his Operations Manager and it is more frightening how he had vested
Total Power in this single individual (Absolutism/ Dictatorship), who -
by the way - was appointed by the previous CEO for pathetic reasons we
are all aware of!
The CEO is doing a wonderful job running the airline from his 16th floor
office up in RJ’s Ivory Tower, but we wish we could say the same about
the Flight Operations and Pilot related matters!
He doesn’t have to be a pilot to make pilot related decisions, he really
needs to be more confident and just act with common since when it comes
to pilot-related issues. After all, he is a U.K graduate and well
educated and I am sure he can absorb the ins and outs of the Operations
if he opened his mind to it.
Frankly - as we all know - the current Flight Operations Manager was
appointed by the Ex-CEO so that the later could regain his lost respect
due to the incorporation of the Ex Operations Manager who was isolating
the Ex-CEO from the operations related decisions that she used to make
and who managed the Operations with minimal input from him.
So the Ex-CEO brought in the current Operations Manager so as to assist
the Ex-CEO in passing corrupt dealings and to blindly pass on
disgraceful legislations- as the scandalous recruitment of PILOTS as
Dispatch Boys (Fourth CATASTROPHIC Major Problem) - and to be quite
honest, the current Operations Director doesn’t strike us as a competent
flyer nor as a wise management pilot at his best. Nevertheless, through
his dealership with the Ex-CEO, he managed to move into a beautiful
mansion in Abdoon! God we miss the TriStars, they must have been his
lucky stars!
A point for Your Majesty, the Ex-CEO and Current transportation minister
has appointed the current Civil Aviation Authority Director because he
is from “shiltoh” and thus the corruption and thieving can go on
undercover with the CAA’s Cooperation!
Your Majesty, we are dangerously under numbered. We are hectically
logging long duty and flying hours well above the average hours logged
by pilots in other airlines.
The fact that these hours are within legal limits - which are regularly
bent and covered up at RJ - does not mean that they are within the
healthy standards of our industry.
It’s like driving on an Autobahn, you can drive at 300 kph, and you’d
still be within limit as Autobahns have no speed limit, but the sensible
thing is to drive at third that speed or you’ll break your neck!
Currently, they are stretching the limit and we will definitely break
hundreds of necks! Yet we would have been within the limit! We need to
slow down and reduce the individual workload and the only way is to
recruit more pilots as PILOTS, not GROUND PILOTS!
Just recently, the already excessive duty and flying hours’ limit was
increased by the Civil Aviation Authority’s Flight Safety Department
upon the advice of the SoleMan, and the head of the Flight Safety
Department had passed through the new dangerously increased limitation
on the SoleMan’s promise to recruit him as an Airbus 320 captain at RJ
in return for this favour! As if RJ is a personal company owned by S.O.!
The SoleMan never fulfilled his promise to the head of the flight safety
department and the later was recently sacked for reasons that we don’t
want to explore in order to stick with our main issue.
This overload and its potential hazards was evident when recently, an
egotistic and very obedient-to-his-boss captain we have was so fatigued
and was progressively overworked and preoccupied to the point where he
ran down and killed a person trying to cross the Airport Motorway, while
the first was on his way to the airport!
We are not rubbing salt into wounds, but to show Your Majesty how
fatigued we are, this captain was so exhausted and slow in his reflexes
that he crashed into this guy at a very late time at night when the road
was empty, the forward vision was unlimited, and he had started beeping
the victim more than a mile before the rundown point, but despite all
that he was so slow in avoiding him and just misestimated his
hand-eye-time coordination and couldn’t avoid the victim!
Maybe that was a blessing in disguise because had he reached that flight
of his with those kinds of reflexes, the consequences would have been
much worse!
Another CATASTROPHIC problem we have is the inhumane and undignified
recruitment policy and bureaucracy in our fleet allocations and
promotions(Fifth Major Problem). Your Majesty will find that we are the
only airline in the region or even the world whose recruited pilots have
to work as Office Boys!
This privilege of course only comes after a lagging useless selection
process that goes on and on and on and on FOR MONTHS AND YEARS….!
Do you believe Your Majesty that the last time pilots were interviewed
for jobs, they were interviewed 3 (THREE) TIMES by the same committee,
and the poor souls were used as Voodoo Dolls; whereby every interviewee,
Pilot, or Not, enjoyed sticking pins in them, and that was MORE THAN 2
YEARS (yes, TWO) AGO, and would Your Majesty believe that the results
haven’t been announced yet! A TOP SECRET! Or maybe they are still in the
mail!
Nevertheless, the operations have INGENIOUSLY come up with this
unprecedented stupid, preposterous, and dangerous idea of taking newly
recruited graduate pilots, and - instead of utilizing their
qualifications as per their titles “PILOTS”; thus distributing the hefty
work load over a larger number of pilots and building up their
experiences- they decided on allocating them moral and self-respect
destroying irrelevant clerical duties in the different departments of
the airport and operations.
The job’s ridiculous and laughable description they came up with for
these PILOTS is “GROUND PILOTS”!?!? Isn’t that just Grand! They have
excelled themselves with this one! A “GROUND pilot” or as they say
“Tayyar Arthi” …
Geese, we always thought a pilot is someone who flies! But - in Jordan
Only - pilots can fly, as per their title, on the GROUND! GROUND PILOT!
It’s like saying a “SKY FARMER” or a “GROUND SAILOR” or a “SEA
ASTRONAUT”! What a scandalous and outrageous conduct this is!
No wonder we are looked down upon by other pilots in the World and the
region specifically, no wonder many of us here are dying to leave, not
even Sudan Airways nor Yemenia do that… are we this low on the scale… in
fact we do not know any airline in the world that has this job
description….
Can they be that criminal and immoral and stupid so as not to realise
that a pilot is just that: A Pilot!
They say that this way they give unemployed pilots a chance to DO
SOMETHING until a flying vacancy comes along! Well, let’s recruit all
unemployed doctors as nurses! I’m sure they’d be grateful!
The fact of the matter is that these pilots- who have been waiting for
years in their homes, would rather stay at home and wait another few
months until PILOT vacancies arise than get this insulting position and
a measly salary that doesn’t amount to 5% of what they should be getting
as FLYING First Officers, not to mention that they end up being in debt
spending most of their money on transportation!
Are they that conceited and above the law so as to ridicule us in such
an insulting manner!
What spills fuel onto fire is that there are specialised Jordanian
college and university graduates who are specifically educated and
trained to do the jobs that these pilots are barged in!
So with this harmful scheme, neither the pilots nor the despatch and
airport management graduates get to work in their relevant fields and
both parties loose! SoleMan’s typical PURE MALLACE!
Not only that Your Majesty, but after these aimless years of flying
seats and tables (on the ground obviously), they get promoted through
another unique RJ program to “OBSERVING Pilots”, which means that they
spend endless hours on the ‘guest seats’ in the cockpit watching - with
frustration and envy - pilots do a series of acts which they have no
clue of! They tell us this makes them better pilots!?!
During these lost years of “Ground Flying”, these recruits forget what
they have learnt, develop into gossip specialists, and become very rusty
flying-wise as they progressively go out of practice!
Then they are promoted to a more ridiculing title of Training Pilots,
and after few months or even years of “solitary confinement” on the back
seats, they are promoted into 2nd Officers for more few months of
humiliation!
Then once the SoleMan’s Decree comes through - hooray - and they are to
start flying as first officers, we find that the poor Castaways - who
have logged THOUSANDS of hours on the Airport’s Motorway - are out of
practice, morally destroyed, under-confident, forgot most of what they
had learnt, are bad on the radio, and thus constitute a Flying
Liability, all thanks to this stupid unprecedented and unfair system
that must be IMMEDIATELY scrapped Your Majesty.
The Mafia’s lame excuse for this is that they - in their infinite wisdom
- believe that these PILOTS would be better off if they were given a
“tour” through the different airport facilities and jobs duties, and
thus they -so they idiotically say- will have a better knowledge of the
aviation industry!
Forgive our sarcasm Your Majesty, but what we say is, why don’t they
recruit them as airport janitors and toilet cleaners; that way they’ll
get to check out all the airport halls and toilets and have a better
understanding of room allocations in case there was a terrorist attack
and we needed a pilot to crawl through the conditioning ducts and plant
some high-tech surveillance equipment in the airport in a Hollywood
action-movie type of a thriller! Good knowledge!
Or as airport luggage porters; this way they will get to mix up with
passengers and understand their psychology and maybe one day that
information might come in handy in case an unruly passenger needed to be
calmed!
Or as ticket issuers, this way they will know how to step in for a
ticket issuer shall the need arise if that ticket issuer decided to go
to the toilet and no one was there to fill in!!
Or as taxi marshals, this way pilots will have a better sense of the
airplane’s tyres’ screeching as it turns while taxing in!! It still
constitutes knowledge!
Or as stewards and stewardesses, that way they will be able to operate
the airplane ovens, coffee makers, and swipe visa cards shall the need
arise! Why not, isn’t it all aviation and airplane related jobs!
All the above knowledge is good knowledge, for a janitor, a porter, a
ticket issuer, a marshal, and a steward, BUT definitely NOT for a PILOT.
We are sure if the other industries get hold of this scheme they will be
delighted; Doctors will be recruited as nurses (good experience on how
to use syringes and clean vomit), Construction Engineers as hard
labourers (better experience on how bricks feel and weigh), and
Pharmacists as vegetables’ shop boys ( best experience for selling
techniques’ and cash register experience) !
BUT Oh no, this scheme is the Jordanian’s Airline Industry’s Best Kept
Secret! This must be the reason why all the above don’t do as we do!
Your Majesty, you are a PILOT, and thus it honours us to be pilots, so
we beg you: Please, Our PILOT King, Stop This Mockery.
Do you see our point Your Majesty; pilots do not need the experience
that they are cluttered, confused, matted, humiliated, and muddled
through for their careers as pilots.
But an outsider might ask, Your Majesty, why do they do all these horrid
things and atrocities? One of the answers might be, because S.O’s son
was put through this stupid system by the previous management, so the
SoleMan now believes that for that reason ALL of Jordanian pilots must
be made miserable too! He is ignorant of what a 6 years old boy knows:
TWO Wrongs DO NOT make a right!!
But really Your Majesty, the answer to why they do all these horrid
things and atrocities is very simple: THEY ARE GETTING AWAY WITH IT and
they have no one to hold them accountable for their actions!
A point to mention here, after daddy came to power, SolePower that is;
he -rightfully- bailed his son out of this daft scheme, which was
brought in as a SUDDEN and temporary measure by the previous management
for a very short period, only for him to keep the group of recruits that
followed in this scheme for YEARS and enforce it as an S.O.P: a truly
SoleMan Ob. Procedure!
We always thought that success is the strongest reason for imitation,
why can’t they just be Normal and follow in the foot steps of ALL of the
world’s successful airlines instead of using our sons and daughters- and
this is why, Your Majesty we are stressing the above point - as
Experimental Guinea Pigs!
Many of the Pilots in Jordan Your Majesty, are the sons and daughters of
Martyrs, Captains, High Government Officials, Intelligence, Army and
Royal Air Force Pilots who have all served their Royal Family and
country with blood and sweat and these humiliating experiences our
families are being put through is the last thing we ever expected!
Do you know Your Majesty that among the jobs that unemployed pilots were
and are forced to take in order to be able to simply survive are
waiters, bartenders, receptionists, party and wedding organisers,
used-thrift cloths sellers, security guards, bouncers.. And the
disgraceful list goes on!!
At least if for anything, this profession must be respected for the fact
that Your Majesty and the Late King Hussein - God blessings be Upon him-
have wings on your chests and are pilots, a fact that Our Royal Family
has always taken pride in and is quite evident when we know that the
only alumni graduated regularly by Your Generous and Blessed Selves are
PILOTS!
Usually, if the leader, President, or King of a Country is a Doctor (as
it is in Syria) you will find that Doctors are best treated and
respected and privileged more than all other profisions, Your Majesty is
a Pilot and we can't think of a more unprivileged sector and profession
than that of a pilot. Please, Your Majesty, bail us out!
If they look down on our young graduates and disrespect them for their
youth! then they should remember that Our King is among the youngest,
yet most successful, leaders in the world and this doesn't incriminate
Him.
To tell the truth Your Majesty, all the corrupt actions and conducts at
RJ are the Ex-CEO’s inheritance and were unheard of before his turbulent
reign at RJ! What we need from the current CEO is to bring an end to all
of this derision and charade.
A point to mention here, Your Majesty, the current Mafia only recruited
THREE Pilots ( Yes Just 3 ) as first officers since it came to POWER
almost 3 years ago, the three are well known to us and so are their
standards and there daddies!
TWO were booted out and not selected by RJ when they had previously
applied to RJ and had scored miserably low on their selections in the
past, after which - through pulling strings - they joined Royal Wings
and once they were sent to Canada for their type rating courses on the
Dash-8 ( a turbo-prop and not even an advanced jet): BOTH FAILED
miserably on their courses and were chopped off (despite the fact that a
third pilot with the same exact qualifications and background as them
had passed)!
They then returned to Jordan and - AGAIN- pulled some strings, upon
which they were re-enrolled at Royal Wings and then were re-sent to
Canada and then returned to Amman for even further training and made it
“bil daz & dafish”!
Nevertheless, they turned their backs on Royal Wings and breached their
contracts and re-applied to RJ!
Here’s the mind blowing thing, the current Operations Mafia approved of
them because one was the son of a -then- acting minister and a member of
the committee interrogating the corruptions of the Ex CEO of RJ. Didn’t
want to upset his daddy!
The second one was the nephew of the -then- acting Transportation
Minister HEADING the above mentioned committee! Didn’t want to upset His
Uncle and end up in Jail!
Of course the Ex CEO, Jordan’s current transportation minister, couldn’t
dare upset the above as he was under heavy fire for multimillion JD
corruption deals and commissions in regards to the dodgy selling of the
TriStars.
The third one was the son of the -then- acting Chief of Staff of the
Royal Jordanian Armed Forces!
Despite the fact that sucking the Air Force dry of its pilots is a
national economical scandal after all the tax payers money that is spent
on their aviation and military training, this pilot was not even a
fixed-wing airplane pilot, but a helicopter pilot!
While on the other hand, ROYAL JORDANIAN AIR ACADEMY graduate pilots -
who had forked out an arm and a leg, and used all their families’
lifetime savings to put themselves through expensive commercial
training- are shelved at home or flying on the GROUND!
What is mentioned above is substantiated by the archives of the previous
parliament, who brought up the issue at the time, and by the fact that
the Ex CEO transformed himself from a humble General on a few hundred
JDs salary into one of Jordan’s richest !
So there you have it Your Majesty, 3 pilots with Big-Time failure and
unsuitability backgrounds, yet Big-Time Sugar Daddies in three years!
Who Wants to be a Millionaire started a year ago, during that year, 2
won the Million, so a little ironic arithmetic tells us that a JORDANIAN
Commercial Pilot’s chances of winning the million on Who Wants to be a
Millionaire is greater than his chances of being recruited as A PILOT by
the current Mafia! Unless they are failure stories and blood related to
George Kirdahi or a Jordanian government members! How Ironic!!
Nevertheless, If you are super lucky and got your rightful entitlement
of recruitment as a first officer - not as an office boy, not as a
telephone operator, not as a wake-up call secretary (these are all
included in the Privilege of being a “Ground Pilot”) - but as s FIRST
OFFICER upon graduation from The Royal Jordanian Air Academy, you will
find that a choking and frustrating problem you will have is the ULTRA
long time it will take you to get promoted to a captain, what we call
the ‘FIRST OFFICER Marathon’(Sixth Major Problem)!
We must clarify a point before we talk about this point Your Majesty; As
we reveal what the rest of the world knows about the EXTREMELY Low
Safety Record(SEVENTH Major Problem) RJ has, someone might wonder how
come we are so low on the list despite the fact that RJ hadn’t had a
fatal accident for many years.
As experts in the industry will confirm, airlines’ safety ratings are
not based solely on the number of fatal accidents and deaths per total
flying hours, but rather on incidents such as - to name a few - tail
scraps, air traffic control deviations, jeopardizing radio-telephony
conduct, near misses, repetitive malfunctions, number of technical
snags, and abiding by flight plans’ times (By the way, RJ is getting as
close as can be to reclaiming its initials worth: ALIA = Always Late In
Arrival)!
So, Your Majesty, taking into account the above factors is what puts us
- during the Reign of the current Operation’s Management - on the
world’s and region’s least safe airlines! We are THE WORLD’S 5 MOST
DANGERIOUS AIRLINE, THE ARAB WORLD’S and MIDDLE EAST’S MOST DANGERIOUS
AIRLINE, as the following published lists clearly show:
2nd independent Reference ranks us as World’s 5th least safe airline and
Arabic World’s LEAST Safe airline according to up to date Statistics!

Shocking !? We know Your Majesty, but the fact is, you can’t tell good
pilots from bad pilots when all is going fine; the skills of good
competent pilots are not evident when things are going smooth (i.e. when
the autopilot is flying the airplane), it is only when things go wrong
and the electronics malfunction that you can tell if a pilot is of
competent levels or not.
The least serious emergency situation will clearly show what RJ is made
of, and we’re afraid it won’t be a nice scene with our safety records!
Here we must mention that the new highly sophisticated A340 is an
electronic airplane that doesn’t suffer fools gladly, and has less
tolerance than other conventional types. This is just a point for the
record! We hope that this particular record will never be needed.
This brings us nicely to what we consider one of the most disastrous
problems we have; the physical and flying incompetence of some of the
first officers and the captains THEMSELVES(Eighth Major Problem)!
Only a week ago, RJ Captains were made the laughing stock of the
region’s airlines when they flunked their Airbus 340 COMPETENCY CHECK in
the Gulf!
They ALL FAILED with Flying Colours! And where told off for their
incompetence in operating our latest admission to our fleet! And all
returned to Amman wagging their tails between their legs, although their
heads were high, as you’d expect if you really knew them as we do!
The ones who - out of courtesy - were not told off bluntly were treated
as such because of their managerial experience and positions in order to
save us face! and all the team - chosen by the SoleMan from the pool of
his close tails and supposedly OUR BEST PILOTS- were told that they
needed a training EXTENSION, a polite way of saying that they FAILED to
reach the required standards within the time they should have done so; a
favour they should be grateful for.
When those pilots returned from their A340 Type Rating course, they said
that the courses were the EASIEST and most relaxed they had ever had!
It seems our slick boys enjoyed their time out in the bars and just
chilled out on the taxpayer’s and our company’s expenses, and when they
where checked they just “couldn’t get it up” !
If such a shameful event took place in another airline, they would have
ALL been immediately demoted and sacked, and any half-self-respecting
Operations Manger and his team would have promptly RESIGNED, in Japan
maybe, but not in Jordan!
Not a surprise really when Your Majesty bears in mind that the last time
RJ pilots were checked outside they country, by people other than
themselves, they also failed with flying colours!
That was when they did their TriStar courses in England in the days of
his late Majesty King Hussein, May God’s Blessings be upon him.
Your Majesty can kindly check the records.
That was in regards to the flying incompetence, now the physical
incompetence; many of our captains and first officers are wickedly
obese, chain smokers like chimneys, heavy drinkers like fish, some are
diabetic, others have high cholesterol, clogged arteries, underwent
heart surgery, and high blood pressure levels…and the list goes on!
This, if anything, increases the need for competent first officers, as
incapacitation is a very likelihood among our captains! Even if the
captains were Olympic heroes, they won’t be above getting food poisoning
and then many of our FIRST OFFICERS will start crying!
In fact, very recently, the standards captain addressed this issue and
his concerns in regards to unfit captains and incompetent first
officers.
The position of a co-pilot is a very important one and the FIRST OFFICER
constitutes a safety net for every flight, and is of crucial
significance in case of an emergency. Having a good captain onboard does
not eliminate the necessity for a well-trained and proficient co-pilot.
Yet, the weak and incompetent new (Office-Boys /First Officers to be!)
recruits drag back with them the competent and proficient pilots for
years(Ninth Major Problem)!
Why on earth do they recruit weak incompetent pilots to start with? And
why where they allowed into the Royal Jordanian Air Academy in the first
place? And why were they graduated if they where of such abysmal
standards?
Well, Your Majesty, the answer for the first question is “Wasta”. The
answer for the second is to get their money! The answer for the last of
question is also “Wasta” and the absence of Quality and Standards
Control, in an institution that is graced by the word “Royal”.
Most of these already recruited and wannabe RJAA academy graduates are
so weak that they can’t even speak the aviation industry’s standard
language!
Your Majesty, most of our pilots - especially the first officers - are
so illiterate in English(A HUGE Major Problem) that we challenge them to
a Toefl exam, even easier, to write one single paragraph about THEIR OWN
qualifications without making a huge number of mistakes! They are even
translating airplane manuals into Arabic! We hope, for their own sake,
that they have thought ahead and translated the Emergency manuals!!
We swear to Your Majesty that most of them can’t even keep up with a
2-minute conversation in English! If Your Majesty only knew the
humiliation and embarrassment they put us through when we fly abroad or
when they talk over the radios!
No wonder Your Majesty when you know that the job interview is held in
Arabic!! Graduates who want to work in the local market in Amman in
Arabic speaking environments are now being interviewed by companies ONLY
in English, though the standard language for their industries are
Arabic, and here at RJ they still interview in Arabic!
We believe Your Majesty that all pilots must be re-evaluated and upon
the outcome, the weak ones must leave. FULL STOP.
This is a sensitive industry and there are lives at stake and the last
thing we need is to compromise safety because of a pilot who might
misunderstand the instructions on an approach plate or misinterpret what
an Air Traffic Controller might say to him! Many accidents of this sort
had happened in the past.
They are all present and alive and Your Majesty has at his disposal all
the means to check the truth of what we are saying.
What Your Majesty kindly needs to know is that in case the captain
became incapacitated during a flight, then a large number of our first
officers will NOT be able to carry on safely with the flight and land it
down safely!
Then disaster will strike, unless a stewardess makes a public
announcement asking “if there were any pilots onboard?”!! And then it’s
a lottery!
If Your Majesty only knew the disgraceful standards of some co-pilots
whom are often flying members of the Royal Family on RJ flights, you
would be shocked.
We are THE WORLD’S 5 MOST DANGERIOUS AIRLINE, THE MIDDLE EAST’S MOST
DANGERIOUS AIRLINE, and one of the World’s most time-consuming airlines
when it comes to recruiting pilots as first officers, promoting first
officers to Captains, and releasing pilots who wish to leave once they
feel insecure.
Unless of course, the pilot concerned is a son, in-law, or a direct
relative of the Operation’s SoleMan or any another member of the Mafia
then you are talking about a whole different ball game.
Then, the company’s rules will be specifically tailored, overlooked,
twisted and changed to best suit the person seeking this favourable
treatment. We are not making this up; we all know the person/ persons we
are talking about.
We have all witnessed the expulsion of excellent pilots for no apparent
reasons, and we have all watched -in horror- the promotion and specific
fleet allocation and test results’ manipulations in favour of the above
mentioned relatives and allies, even when they are well known failures
and weak pilots, a fact that you will find substantiated by their poor
records from the beginning of their flying careers at early training
stages.
Speaking of which, we should mention to Your Majesty that the SoleMan
DOES NOT accredit Royal Jordanian Air Academy nor its graduates, nor
does he acknowledge their qualifications, except for his ACE son!
To him, they are total write-offs, and he openly says this to almost
everyone. In fact, since his appointment - almost THREE years ago - he
has not recruited A SINGLE pilot graduate straight from the RJ Air
Academy as DIRECT ENTRY FIRST OFFICER.
He believes that pilot graduate should be more experienced before they
can join “his airline”, a Catch 22 Situation, as if any other airline in
the world would ever take new graduates except for their citizens, and
as we only have one major airline, RJ, our pilot graduates will NEVER be
recruited by any airline other than RJ, unless they buy their own 100
million Dollars jets and circle the skies over Amman to get him the
experience he wants!!!
If British Airways, Lufthansa, Emirates, Saudi Airlines, Qantas,
Singapore Airlines, Royal Brunei, Kuwaitia, and many other world leading
airlines recruit graduate pilots as DIRECT ENTRY FIIRST OFFICERS, we
isn’t it good enough for SoleMan.
He did it with his son, IT HAPPENED TO HIM, or is it that his standards
better than British Airways, Lufthansa, Emirates, Saudi Airlines,
Qantas, Singapore Airlines, Royal Brunei, Kuwaitia!!!
It makes one wonder if they are they qualified as air stewardesses but
asking for pilot jobs! They are qualified as pilots, so why is it that
he feels that they don’t deserve to work as pilots! We swear that he
acts as if it’s a One-Man Show and he PERSONNALY OWNS THE AIRLINE (The
Origin of All Problems).
If he is man enough - and we know he isn’t - let him say to Your Majesty
what he has been saying to all of us for years now!
What we say to him is why waste His Majesty’s precious time when His
Majesty graduates these pilots each year if after all you don’t intend
to put their wings into the skies! And stop playing the Royal Jordanian
Air Academy promotional tape onboard all RJ Flights and save us the
grief!!
The ironic thing is that his OWN SON is a ROYAL JORDANIAN AIR ACADEMY
graduate, and a below average one to that matter, having failed his
final exams several times as the records clearly show, and is currently
working as a First Officer on the Airbus A310 Fleet !!!!!!!!!
Yet, he was among the last group of recruits to be type rated on the
Airbus, on a hand chosen fleet picked by Daddy! He was first put on the
A320 Fleet, but Daddy swapped him with the son of the Royal Jordanian
Air Academy’s son, who was allocated an A310 position, and thus the
first was put on the less demanding A310 -Like daddy- and the latter on
the A320!
The deal was a win-win situation for both pilots; the pilot who gave up
his A310 position was guaranteed an automatic pass on his type rating
course for generously giving up his slot to the son of the SoleMan!
The son of the SoleMan was put on daddy’s fleet under his wing, where
by, he was trained and passed by daddy’s fleet colleagues!
Those specific type-rating courses were and probably are the fastest and
shortest courses in the history of aviation! They were speedily rapped
up and cooked so as to get the pilots on-line as soon as possible!
During these “microwaved” courses, many flying basics and instrument
flying essentials were overlooked, and the majority of the pilots from
those specific courses are the least competent and most problematic
first officers we have ever had.
After that course (the SoleMan’s son’s course) pilot recruitment seized
and no further DIRECT ENTRY first officer courses were initiated since
then!
The SoleMan got his son through and then nothing else mattered!
By the way, Your Majesty, the corruption goes way back, as the son of
the Royal Jordanian Air Academy was enrolled into the ROYAL JORDANIAN
AIR ACADEMY despite the fact that he had not passed his Tawjihi, and he
undertook the Tawjihi exams as he was doing his diploma course at the
academy!
“If it’s good enough for the goose, why isn’t it good for the hen!”
Especially when the goose is partly in charge of passenger’s lives,
including Royal Family members’ lives, and the hen is most likely much
better, more competent and qualified than the goose!
Daddies and what they are willing to do for their “goose” kids! Very
scandalous and dangerous actions in a sensitive industry as ours.
Please Your Majesty, do not mistake this for a personal attack, we are
merely telling FACTS THAT ARE ON ALL THE RECORDS AND WE HONOUROBLY AND
SOLIDLY STAND BY THEM.
As Your Majesty knows, RJ recently went under reconstruction and many
employees were made redundant. Some captains were also made redundant in
the process and were RELIEVED, truly relieved, of their duties and were
compensated for their service time, or shall we say Sentence Period!?
On that basis, many of us - captains and first officers alike - have put
in our resignations in order to explore new avenues at other airlines
that are willing to, at least, not only extend us respect and courtesy,
but triple or quadruple our salaries in what we believe are better job
circumstances.
The CEO - upon the bad intended ill advice from the SoleMan - refused
and is still refusing to accept our resignations (Tenth Major Problem)!
Your Majesty, we have fulfilled the terms of our contracts and we are
not happy with our hectic working conditions nor are we satisfied with
the way the Operations are dealing with our concerns, so the point of
the matter is, if we are feeling insecure and the operations are not
willing to understand our concerns and act upon them, they shall not be
allowed to hold us prisoners in this “life sentence”.
We have mouths that need to be fed, children that need to be put through
what’s becoming more and more expensive education, bank and mortgage
payments that need to be kept up with; and if we are not being
appreciated in our own country, we are sadly willing to take it on the
chin, roll with the blows, and unhappily immigrate.
If we are made free to leave, then we will be getting higher salaries,
we will send hard cash back to Jordan and make investments, and overall
improve our economy.
We will also get to fly new types of airplanes and thus bring back a
vast wealth of expertise to Jordan, MORE IMPORTANTLY we will make new
desperately needed job openings and vacancies for the unemployed hopeful
pilot graduates whom lives, marriages, home purchases, and car
acquisitions have been put on hold - along with their social lives - for
years now!
For instance, an expanding regional airline has asked our current
management for a supply of at least 30 pilots on much respected terms
and appealing contracts.
The current management, as expected from them, their vicious answer was
to turn down the airline on the deceitful basis that we don’t have any
pilots in Jordan to fill in for the ones who would leave! A deafening
loud and rude lie as there are at least a hundred pilots drowning in the
pool unemployment, meanwhile, the Royal Jordanian Air Academy is still
taking on more and more student pilots!
So what did the regional airline do instead, they recruited more than 30
Indian, Pakistani, Turkish, Egyptian, Yemeni, Sudanese, Syrian, and
pilots from other nationalities!
So what should have been god’s gift to our airline industry, pilots,
economy, people, and families went to other foreign countries whose
aviation mangers are cleverer, less evil, more loyal and patriotic than
ours!
It seems as if our management is deliberately working against our
national interests and people, and in favour of other nationalities!
If SHARON THE TERREROST AND ZIONIST was in charge our flight operations,
he wouldn’t have been able to inflict more damage on us nor be meaner
than our current management; on the contrary, he might have been more
sympathetic than SoleMan and his “Shilleh”!
Avoiding the Imminent Disaster:
Your Majesty, in aviation, and you are the Master of Aviators, only one
law applies and that is “Sod’s Law” or “Murphy’s Law” and it is very
simple : “What can go wrong, Will go wrong” ….
We have no alternate but to eliminate all the factors that might
constitute a disaster, do our duty, and then we can depend on god to do
the rest.
So as not to be branded as wheel-chair critics or complainers, we are
giving the sensible, reasonable, and non-nonsense answers to all of the
above problems.
We confirm to Your Majesty that THERE ARE NO SOLUTIONS OTHER THAN THESE,
AND THESE SOLUTIONS NEED TO BE IMPLEMENTED IMMEDIATELY IF AN NEARBY
IMMINENT ACCIDENT IS TO BE PREVENTED, and we cannot stress the word
‘IMMEDIATELY’ Enough.. Because “What can go wrong, Will go wrong”…
It’s not mission impossible and the answer is really simple Your
Majesty;
-We need to re-evaluate ALL pilots regardless of their high ranks or
seniority (especially their English fluency!),
-Get rid of the ones that prove to be incompetent “extra luggage”
pilots,
-Upgrade the competent first officers to captains,
-Recruit new competent First Officers (Not Office Boys!) to fill in the
vacancies created by first officers’ promotions,
-Recruit ground operations and despatch employees (NOT PILOTS) whom
degrees and studies are of this same topic and specialty,
-And eliminate all the hypocrisy in the airline, and let it be known,
Your Majesty, that it’s a new ball game from now on: NOW begins a new
era of accountability with punitive actions if needed.
So it is a matter of doing what ALL the world’s airlines do ( JUST BE
NORMAL ) : do some type rating courses, which are really cheap as
training a new first officer coasts less than 10 000 $ (less than 0.2 %
of the incurred losses due to any of the latest incidents and insurance
premium’s increase caused by them!).
We are sure that if Your Majesty asks any unemployed pilot awaiting
recruitment, you will find that all will be willing to pay this figure
in advance and thus the management cannot lean on the lame excuse of not
having funds!
If they want, they can revert to their old system of getting the
training coasts out of the pilot’s salary over a couple of years.
Once these pilots are trained they will be well worth the money spent on
them as they will be flying passengers paying multi hundred thousands
per flight, and if they decide to leave to another airline after legally
finishing their contract terms they will send hard currency back to the
country benefiting the economy, and make new openings for new pilots and
ROYAL JORDANIAN AIR ACADEMY can go on training pilots and making
revenue.
Thus the cycle of “The Pilot Lives” will start moving again after this
long inexcusable several-years halt! It’s a win-win situation for
everyone.
The second thing is the matter of civilising the way pilots are treated
and this is very important as most FATAL air crashes are due to human
factors and bad communications: not machinery!
The Mafia members - manipulated by their head - have mastered the art of
LYING THROUGH THEIR TEETH, and are the best you can ever imagine when it
comes to stalling, lying, suspending, deceiving, delaying,
blame-shifting, false promising, re-promising, back stabbing, two
timing, exploiting, and convincingly acting!
ALL this, Your Majesty, is STILL AN UNDERSTATMENT. The members of this
MAFIA believe that they are above the law, this belief might have been
caused to a great extent because of the fact that some -if not most -
have flown with the late King Hussein- may God’s blessings be upon him -
and with Your Majesty in the Royal Squadron!
We know that they got their perceptions mixed up and misunderstood their
flying duty with our Royal Family for being close acquaintances and
friends to Your Royal Selves, which made them ultimately think that
Sayyedna will be in their favour weather they did wrong or write, or
that they can just lie their way through this, and thus we BEG Your
Majesty to be aware that they will not admit to these malpractices
despite the fact that the records are very clear and are available in
black and white.
There is nothing beneath them and beneath their cult of lies. They are
very distant and unsympathetic. These evil con artists are capable of as
much damage and atrocity as they have imagination, and these people have
unlimited imagination, which is evident from their non-ending well of
lies.
If they suspect anyone is not being totally loyal to their autocratic
and disgraceful ways, they will wage upon him/her an unholy war and will
flunk him/her through any of the frequent test that are part of a
pilot’s profession - comes handy for them- or by making up false
accusations and mal descriptions, or even better, they will not hesitate
to fabricate and DOCTRINE all types of even Psychological deficiencies -
as if they were qualified psycho-analysts!
Furthermore, if the unlucky soul is at the beginning of his/her career,
they will be openly willing to jeopardise the chance of any applicant to
a fair assessment or hearing.
We all know the stories of flunking excellent pilots and sacking them
under all kinds of fabricated technical and personal excuses, only to
see these very pilots get better and MUCH higher paid jobs in elite
airlines such as Emirates, Gulf Air, Saudi, and….etc!
To give Your Majesty a piece of our most stressing thought: Every one of
us feels expandable, and thus many pilots at Royal Jordanian are feeling
more and more vengeful.
Conclusion
The way it is now at RJ: Our Operations Management and MOST of the
Pilots flying the Airplanes are a bunch of CHANCERS, and it’s really God
that is flying the Airline!
Without Your Majesty’s frank clear-cut intervention, the occurrence of a
disastrous crash is not a matter of ‘if’, but a matter of ‘WHEN’. Allah
Yostor Sayyednah & Yostorna…..
