412driver Posted May 29, 2022 Report Share Posted May 29, 2022 Sitting in Ontario, waiting for the fire season to start... Just got a call from my wife... She received a very nice gift from the company along with a hand written note from the boss thanking her for her support. It was nice to see a company acknowledge the fact that often there is someone at home waiting while we are away for weeks at a time. 7 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTR Posted May 29, 2022 Report Share Posted May 29, 2022 Right on, would it be proper to name the company? That is an awesome moral booster while in the field. Have a safe summer out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freck Posted May 30, 2022 Report Share Posted May 30, 2022 Those companies are out there but you will rarely see them advertising for help. I wonder why that is? And good luck at most getting the hint, if it's not about their bottom line then it isn't really their concern. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gwk Posted May 30, 2022 Report Share Posted May 30, 2022 Yes, very nice, sometimes it's the little acts of kindness that end up meaning the most. I hope it keeps you smiling for a good long time, and kudos to the company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skidkicker Posted June 2, 2022 Report Share Posted June 2, 2022 What a fantastic gesture. I remember there was a tornado that knocked out power to the town and anyone that was around the hangar helped out the families of those that were out with the aircraft. Generators, fuel, food. It was amazing how everyone pitched in including the owner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
