But.....EZ missed payroll on Friday! If they don't pay up by Monday, they might not have enough crews to move aircraft.

you sure there wash''t an explanation for that? administrative or otherwise? that's serious.

EIA has a big bond payment due on Monday or Tuesday.. I was shocked when I heard about the flight crew pay was not there on the last Friday of the month. The rest of the company gets paid on the last day of the month. Very odd things going on here. I hope our new Pres will get this under control. For the last 10 years no one has been running this place. Money has been going from the airline to pay for Everything in MMV when that money should have been used to get 400's. We parked planes at the start of the year instead of doing what ever charter work they could find to pay the bills. Now we have a new Pres and he is trying to play catch up from years of people doing nothing but running this place into the ground. I just hope he can do it...

I heard that they put out a voice mail to the crews..

"gg The 400 is set up as a transition course from the classic."


how is this even possible?

 

[Nevergreen]

Prez Wheeler wrote in the newsletter a few weeks ago that Saudia did not want another EZ 400 now. Of course that could change.

So it does look like both new 400's are going AMC.

But only if we get paid Monday. Our Fleet Capt. CC; personally told me on Friday morning they did not have the money to pay us before the weekend and we would get it next week.

We will see. No money, no flying.

While in principle I believe that "no money/no fly" is a good idea, I might think twice about not flying. IF and it is a big if you can go on the road and spend little to no money it might be in your best interest to fly while you look for a new job. If you are considering going the expat route overseas currency is a huge issue. Many airlines will not touch you if you are not current. Some will let you buy currency on your own dime. My advice: Find a check airman and get him to give you a line check and make sure you have copies of the paperwork. Fly until they shut down or it is starting to cost you to much money to stay out. This might not make you feel great but it might help you find another job.

currency is one of the stupidest things I've ever heard of, I mean military pilots will go two years without flying and no problem, or FE's back in the day sat sideways for years before flying in the right seat.... but it is what it is, they DO require 6 months to year..

with that said, flying for a couple of more weeks without pay will not make a bit of difference in the big picture.

 

[tubineotter]

Flying for a couple of more weeks will make uncle Dell Happy, sorry guys i Hope it is just an admin glitch.

 

[atpcliff]

Many international jobs require a sim within the last 6 mos, or 3 mos, and/or flying time in the last year/6 mos/3 mos, etc. It IS important for those types of contract jobs....on the other hand I met a director of MX in Africa that hadn't been paid in 7 months, and a pilot that hadn't been paid in 2 years....so you need to cut it off at some point!!!
