TRADEWINDS-in business or CHAPTER 11

[G-force]

Is this outfit going to stay in business or what????

 

[federico]

Where did you get the Chap 11 rumour. They have just added 1 747 one class going on as we speak but will reduce a300 by 1 and lay off 2 A300 crews. Just cut a deal with China Eastern in Shanghai but The Air Macau contract is anybodys guess. The rumour is Kuzu is getting The Air Macau Flying if they can come up the the planes.

SO the added 74 replaces the one destroyed in July??? Hmm....sounds like they're still in trouble to me.

In trouble to you...?

All the Einstein's and their crystal balls are out today.

 

[G-force]

GSO: leaving or staying put

They seem to be laying off alot of crews @ GSO,according to other threads/posts from several months back.Any truth in this???

 

[federico]

So mr G force Barbie Jet Pilot. What does it matter to you anyway. Did you get turned down.

 

[federico]

Dont worry Avpro im sure with the commuter wage your being paid your company will never be in trouble.

 

[abxnightrider]

Why do they hire off the street for the 747 while they are furloughing A300 crews? just curious

 

[federico]

Alot of people fail to understand the way of the 121 supplemental...because they've never been there.

You are ALWAYS one lost contract, one accident, one bad heavy check, etc. away from a furlough.

If you can't stomach it, run away....

money is the reason figure it out.

Union..Or not.

Easy, see?

 

[federico]

We need a union to protect us from this unfair treatment but management will shut us down before it ever happens. A zoo outfit like ours its either take the crap or look for a better job like I am

Which explains the 40-50% attrition rate in the 747 program in the last 12 months.

 

[federico]

Im surprised everybody hasnt quit

 

[avpro91]

Last time I checked, I haven't worked for commuter in quite a while. Someday I'll update my profile just for you!

While your at it send us all a paycheck stub

 

[Ghetto Buck]

Federico...You sound so bitter!!!!

 

[shindler]

This ACMI business is quite intresting.
I am reading the cargo posts for some time now and I have noticed that preatty much all the pilots move from one company toanother .For instance; if Tradewind is furloughing then those guys go to Southern Air, which 6 months later will layoff so the same group of guys go to Focus which they don' t like and end up back to tradewinds which in the mean time got a a new contract and so on.
Very intresting.. Anyhow just an observation.........

 

[Draginass]

When you fly for these 747 outfits, you have to get used to the idea that you're just considered "day-labor." If you don't like the way you're treated, then you're only recourse is to quit. Plenty more where you came from. Training costs are not considered a factor.

 

[federico]

ghetto bucket just because you cant find another job because of your PAST and are just happy to be at bottom of the barrel air doesnt mean im bıtter for wanting and expecting something better
