Martinair buys Superior...is this true?

[FN FAL]

Is this a good or bad thing for either company or the pilots?

 

[skybert]

It's true. I don't fly for either of them so I can't give any details.

first midatlantic, then union flights and now superior...wonder whats left

...although i was wrong on one count, the CP finally convinced the higher ups to increase the wages a bit

Probably true, one of our former pilots went back to his old job at Superior, but he said he would flying for Martinair

Wingnut... did you used to work for MRA circa 2002-2003?

 

[wingnutt]

haha...i was around then, but not a full time guy at the time.

and you?

 

[Nolife]

Yes... I too served time there... actually I enjoyed it other than the low pay, which I knew about going in, and the few threats from AR. You wouldn't be MH by the way.

This is very bad for superior guys, last time they bought Mid-Atlantic freight not only did they screw a bounch of the pilots from MAF, but they also lost just about all of the MAF guys within a couple of months.

I'm sure doosh bag chief pilot at martinaire will find a way to make all the superior guys feel "welcomed"....MAN I HATE THAT LOSER!

 

[NtheNo]

Yep ...

I bet that's because he fired you ...

 

[wingnutt]

...i will not confirm nor deny the above rumor at this time

 

[NtheNo]

It's not a rumor

Martinaire bought Superior on October 18th 2006.
That's 100% fact. If you don't believe it, try getting ahold of
someone at Superior and see if they're still hiring.
