1st time cleared customs It put banker my understanding he was money mgr I dont think he was hedge fund he had money in hedge lost money

I think I heard him say he only handle people billion or more not sure if from media neard

$$\frac{\text{LOGS}}{\text{None are required}}$$

only logs require how much time we flew need to know for maintenance I always have in every job date, passenger, flew where

For me FAA rating require think1980 -> Airline transport pilot 1500 hrs

1st rating is priv. pilot have to keep # of nrs 250 hr to become comm. air.p.

EFTA00153946

re-certify

  • every 6 mo - Boeing

  • every 12 mo - other airline /now

  • how many hes fown

‘91 - ‘05

Dmy Logbook

  1. passenger manifest

  2. how many bees fly on each day

Keep up W1

Aircraft, engines, APU times maintenance forms - pilots keep up

manifest

date

fuel flow (think)

pilot

I wanted accountability to if anyone asked who on tight I could say

Jeanny

when I chief pilot I’d keep those records Jack Goldberger I think fax someone in office 2006 he picked them up I had original until 2004 2005- I no longer kept those records

EFTA00153947

plus/minus U mo from mtg w| FBI no longer had records

Sometimes

didn’t bring

logbook

w| me

logbook/manifest identical

when got back to PB would take manifest nome to update logbook

Logbook is personal manifest was company

  • useful to me for his to know

  • always kept records from 1st job as pilot

  • did until 2007

  • these were only flights I was on

G2B - 1x yrs went to training 5 days

  • I had 3 wks vacation

  • max 4 wks I wouldnt be on logs

  • someone else kept manifests for flights I wasit on

  • company would have manifests from flights not on my logbook

Boeing

EFTA00153948

had 3 pilots

2005 we hired additional pilot possible more than 4 wks vacation / not flying

Bocing & Gulf going 2-3 wks training

Hawker / Gulf overlap 94 96,97,98 - if SE not on flight, it not going w/ few exceptions go Bedford , pick up A. Dershowitz

  • I was sick, JE sent home

  • occasion death in family , etc go home

2005/2006 I might be fly GM JE be in Bocing

Fly 1x every 3 days , sometimes more

there were lot of changes given schedule by GM never written - verbal

Je may be on flight say next Tues we’re going so so

wouldn’t be set make changes - would unusual would be GM or secretary day of or before

EFTA00153949

Secretaries Paula Sherman - been 10 yrs when I got there couple yrs cant remember lot of them

Mandy Milroy

b4 MM ← Maureen LNu

too many didnt work out

phone call from GM never written schedule maybe 7 days ahead of time

GWM role = did lot of hiring/firing liked firing more I think lot of purchasing run houses - if there prob. had to deal wl nee if need something 4 plane weld tell her

I’d reach out to Gim or secretary regard sch.

rarely did we know who’d be on flight until they arrived

less than 24 hr notice sometimes typical 4 days month notice - event on certain date

EFTA00153950

think so - if you on flight she more likely to reach out for scheduling of flight

Concord to Europe assume to Paris or London

PB to JFK - we could taxi up to Concord 92,93,94 Hawker

Gm could be on Concord also

quarter share - Gm had for 1yr maybe 2-3 beach jet going to wherever so we didnt take her

it’s poss. we could go for ex. we left ½ Gm meet later

VI We’d fly back commercial to JE ready to come back

We didnt check ID or DOB

if coming internationally we’d have

could be to have DOB or passport

over phone name, nationality, DOB

or passport have to have b4 takeoff 24 hrs ahead of time

EFTA00153951

90’s customs form pass. nat. DOB capt. fill out

chief pilot I wouldnt always fill out wouldnt be capt every flight

think it would be fax to customs

prob got trashed

possible kept passports copy

Hawker - very few intern. - would make nonstop

96 G12 - prob went to Ireland

Planc load of people

ask secretary Id ask do you know how many pass. do you know names

find out pass. when on fright

dont recall if JE or Gm

we wouldnt ask

when see female/male

fly somewhere St Thomas

put +1 female

same person came back wed learn name

Ginislaine, who’s that sometimes she’d say

EFTA00153952

1 pilot loading luggage

  • learn names from suitcases

1 pilot on plane

  • We know how many we have before took off

  • during flight fill out manifests

  • didnt leave someone off list

  • accurate as possible

  • I dont think left anyone off

possible 1st time name appeals was not 1st flight of that person

  • if we go to NY to St. Thomas we don’t know name

  • if flying back we’d have to know to go by customs

Records/Logbook date of flight

‘91 Apr then only put days below b4 put next month

aircraft ID - reg. #

Miles flown (duty time) certain

discussion w/pilot

Gary Roxburg

convo / <

b4

other

convo

  • he said no advantage to put down

  • more disadvantages

lot of charter pilots fly au kinds of people, good, bad - even though pilot not doing bad but fly bad person how does look

prob combo of 2 convos nad me stop

EFTA00153965

I think it’s better off to put down names but it’s accountability

at this point had turned over Logbook to FBI they had up to Aug’06

figured yea maybe better to not

Aug 2013 lawsuits coming

job change 2004

G2 more loud G4

FAA quiet flying procedure

JE did not like procedure

(most time we land at 10/ late night) it would wake people up

He told me didn’t want

coming back to PB quiet fly approach

next day je asks to come over

yesterday he saw me doing quiet approach when he

I told you not to do it ,you’re no longer chief pilot pay cut

EFTA00153966

It felt like on thank God pay cut like $5000 amt. of work not worth it

got a huge chunk of life back didnt have to do as much work

Still employed, still salary NES LLC direct deposit every 2 wks

flew airplane GIA, to PB prob due demos b4/selling plane

2 flights since his arrest July 6

scheduled to be in Brunswick in Aug. for maintenance

took it down early so it didnt look like his plane was here to leave pending bail hearing

Rich Kann said be here thru end of yr

dont know if in will /Je never talk bout it

JE never talked wl me bout invest.

EFTA00153967

didn’t talk wl Gim

bout it invest.

1st approached by detective

do you ever fly young girls I said yea all the time 20’s , maybe 19 he asked if flew 14 yo m:

had lawyer for deposition

  • didnt have lawyer initially

  • had lawyer when talk to FBI

  • Epstein group said call this lawyer when FBI called

I contact Darren Indykc, who Epstein a lawyer

I’d say Darren as opposed to je for anything legal

Bruce lawyer from Ft Lauderdale

Indyke help wl buying/selling airplane

nobody said not to say something when talk to FBI or

EFTA00153968

talked to her bout aviation she got pilot license

no real interaction

dont know now Lolita express originated

make me concern when I see press say Prince Andrew fly Lolita Express - I never say that

contacted Boies Scailer to get transcript I couldnt get it then reading thru why I said that I think it was transcribed incorrectly I’d like to see video of it

Always wrote out Prince Andrew’s name

Sometimes some people would have been introduced to me others say , ” Hi I’m … ”

R+ seat Im gonna see wl own eyes whose there LF seat Capt.

EFTA00153969

people would get on board I’d be told how many people on board(1st officer would tell me)

no particular reason why I put female/ male vs. passenger

Gm on board Gm alert me

Gm in touch, even more so, than secretary

ones she was on board

not usually GM alert to flights not on

Sometimes get info from island mgk, ranch mgk - Je tell them , hey tell them

then a lot of times MGRS asking us when we’re leaving

when JE in jail ‘08

  • ‘09 I dont think we did anything wl JE

  • reduced flying load $ salary

  • maybe did one flight for another person

EFTA00153970

I enjoyed the job - that’s why I stayed

  • Je was very nice to fly for

never saw him get upset or yell at us

-I loved places we would go too

-My daughter in school in FL didnt want leave

once we got back flying normal salary was supposed to go back called Indyke he said

Economy 08/09 was bad

Aviation was down

werent a lot of jobs at that point

08 didnt receive a raise

he very generous wl raises

10% paycut for employees

later I get phone call my salary be reduced

to $50,000 $1,000 for each flight

10 yrs for no raise

job was easy knew if went somewhere else, could be away from home more

Rich called $1250 day last yR March

odds of working as long as I want were good while blc same age. Most corp. comp. cut off pilots at 65
