A CPR MDT PLT COMPLAINS THAT HIS CORPORATION DOES NOT PROVIDE ENTRY OR RECURRENT TRAINING TO CABIN ATTENDANTS OR INTL TRAINING FOR FLCS. THE ACFT ARE ALSO MISLOADED; HE ALLEGED FROM A WT AND A SAFE EGRESS STANDPOINT AND THEY OFTEN FLY WITH INSUFFICIENT FUEL RESERVES. THE RPTR IS THE PIC AND THE ACFT DOES BOTH CPR AND PART 135 ATX FLTS.

Narrative

I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT ALL THE PROBS ARE COMPANY WIDE. FOR THE MOST PART I FEEL THEY ARE OUR INDIVIDUAL OP. THERE IS A TOTAL DISREGARD FOR TRAINING. EXAMPLED BY THAT I HAVE 2 GIRLS WHO ARE CARRIED AS FLT ATTENDANTS. NEITHER GIRL HAS HAD A GOOD INITIAL COURSE MUCH LESS A RECURRENT TRAINING PROGRAM. YET THE AIRPLANE IS OPERATED PART 135. THE FLC OPERATES THE MAJORITY OF ITS FLTS INTL. NEITHER CREW MEMBER HAS HAD A RECURRENT INTL COURSE. ON 1 OF OUR LAST FLTS WE WERE REQUIRED TO MAKE AN EMER RETURN. OPS HAD STACKED (4) COMPUTER PAPER BOXES OF CATERING IN THE MAIN DOORWAY THUS BLOCKING EMER EGRESS. OUR FLT ATTENDANT IS REQUIRED TO SIT IN A JUMP SEAT LOCKED BTWN THE PLT AND COPLT SEATS THUS BLOCKING EGRESS FROM THE COCKPIT IN AN EMER. THE AIRPLANE IS KNOWN TO BE 800-1000 LBS HEAVIER THAN THE BOOK PUBLISHED BOW WT. WE ARE STILL REQUIRED TO OPERATE THE AIRPLANE AT MAX WT OFF THE DCA ARPT GOING TO EUROPE. WE FEEL THAT WHEN WE DEPART AT GROSS 45100 LBS WE ARE IN FACT CLOSER TO 46100 LBS. AT 45100 LBS WE JUST BARELY FIT IN THE BOX. WE ROUTINELY FLY TO EUROPE LNDG WITH 1400 LBS OF FUEL (35-45 MINS AT CRUISE ALT). AS THE PIC I HAVE LITTLE OR NO SAY IN ANYTHING OTHER THAN 'JUST FLYING THE AIRPLANE.' I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT IS MY JOB 'JUST FLY THE AIRPLANE.' IT IS VERY NORMAL TO RETURN FROM 1 EUROPE TRIP AT XF30 IN THE AFTERNOON AND BE SCHEDULED BACK OUT AT XG30 THE NEXT AFTERNOON. AFTER THIS CURRENT TRIP XA30 AM THE NEXT MORNING. OUR DIVISION DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO SAY NO. ONE OF OUR TRIPS REQUIRED WE DRIVE AT WY00 AM TO PHL. WE ARRIVED PHL AT APPROX XC30. THE AIRPLANE HAD A MECHANICAL PROB WHICH REQUIRED WE FLY TO MONTREAL FOR REPAIRS; WHICH WE DID. WE DEPARTED MONTREAL AFTER COMPLETING REPAIRS AND PICKED UP OUR CHARTER CUSTOMER AT XL00 PM. (FIRST TKOF HAD BEEN AT ABOUT XG00 PM. WE WERE DOING THIS WITH A 3 PLT CREW.) WE FLEW PHH-GANDER ABOUT 2 HRS 45 MINS 1 HR GND TIME THEN TO SHANNON APPROX 5 HRS 15 MINS THEN SOFIA; BULGARIA; APPROX 4 HRS 45 MINS. WHEN WE STARTED THE VOR APCH IN THE WX THE CREW HAD BEEN UP NO LESS THAN 36 HRS. WE ALSO HAVE MAINT ITEMS THAT WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH. WHEN WE HAD ENG PROBS WE WERE NOT ASKED WHAT THE SAFETY CONCERNS WERE; BUT INSTEAD WHO WAS GOING TO PAY FOR IT. WE FLEW THE AIRPLANE ACROSS THE OCEAN; CORPORATION GROUNDED THE AIRPLANE THE NEXT DAY. THIS OP IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN.
