Chad, you OK?

Post by Brantel »

I saw this over on another forum...

Hopefully this is not true unless he wants it to be. If it is true, it is a loss for the EAA:

Chad, Man I'm very sorry to hear this! When you were hired my thoughts were: finally some young, fresh blood and ideas, non career airline, grass roots type guy. Im a 45 year old lifetime EAA member and you represented my interests. clearly added value to the organization.

RU kidding me? Talk about EAA jumping the shark. They move you out there and then let you go? Ridiculous...

I couldn't agree more, its a big loss for homebuilders and EAA. I guess we will see how things pan out.

Hi everybody: I wanted to let you know that I will be remaining at EAA in the role of Homebuilt Technical Specialist through our Member Services team. This will allow me to continue my work with builders inside this great organization. I have to thank EAA management for working hard to find a solution.

I appreciate the support that many of you have given me. I admit that this situation emerged because of mistakes I made in my previous position at EAA. For that, I apologize and accept full responsibility. You can be assured that I will work doubly hard to regain everyone’s trust and confidence.

See you all soon! :)

Chad,

Great news to hear you have your job back. I knew you would land on your feet quickly, especially with the strong RV community behind you.

What I am most concerned about is if you still have access to the "Chad Jensen" VW Thing at Oshkosh????

Chad, I just came on and got all upset and then all relieved, all in the time span of a couple of minutes. Man! I can't take this. All I can say is, I'm very, VERY happy that you're still there. Whatever happened, I'm glad they saw a way to keep you there. I think you're doing a tremendous job, a service to all of us. :)
