I know both companies.

If you think NAC is less able to manage, then you don't know what the old Naturelink was really like on the inside...

Manage?

Grizzled I agree with you However NAC won’t want to manage anything! They will take the sales franchises, the spares sales that come with that...and down size the rest! The operation included!

Enough said...time will tell, observe this space!!

And the funniest thing is that C.B. works for NAC. He might get revenge on those who voted him out!

NAC now have the Pac750 agency with CB being there if I remember correctly. Interesting if this takeover is true, I wonder if they will absorb all the crew into NAC intl ops and keep on operating the E120's and their current contracts.......... one hopes so for the crew

Well I work for 1 of the companies, and I have to say, there's a lot of rumors at the moment, and people are not really sure what's going on. And the big question?? Is Naturelink moving to Lanceria?

Contracts and charter keep operating, under the NAC 'banner' (). Base moves to FALA. Embraer service centre moves to FALA. WB infrastructure becomes NAC Wonderboom. Sounds like no jobs lost, but kingdoms potentially toppled.

Oh and language proficiency tests for all ex-FAWB'ers....

Language prof is no problem at all. Us boneheads are quicker than we look.

However, if you Durbs slackers want to see what the Super 14 trophy and the Currie Cup look like, they're in the trophy cabinet to your right as you walk into the Loftus admin area. Try not to drool on the carpet...

Internal email confirms take over.NAC are the new proud owners . Some staff opted not to move to Lanseria.
Naturelink hangars at WB to be used as a showroom and to be leased to other operators.
