Vincent in receivership !!!
apparently Vincent (Australia) have gone into receivership this afternoon.
The rumoured sale must not have gone ahead.
Maybe potential purchaser, will now pick up the healthy bits.

Correct, are there any healthy bits? This is going to hurt a lot of people. I know of two small operators owed just under $100,000 each. How did the NSW government allow them to get awarded routes? Where was the due diligence?

NZ Ops
I was told very recently that the Saab 340 was going to be used on some routes dropped by Eagle Air..and that 3 would be used in NZ..at least now we all know where they are coming from.
Presumably, management would have seen this coming, so can someone explain why less than a month ago they recruited new pilots for the Saab?
I am aware of at least one pilot who left his (obviously more solid) job to start at Vincent's, moved to Darwin and would have been there all of a week before this happened. Shame, because he was also ex-Brindies, so goes bust twice in six months...
Sad, but irresponsible, at least on appearances.

Sad day for everyone up there, it was at least 12 years ago when we finished the Timor operation and decided to get an Aussie AOC and stay up there, seemed a good idea at the time!
I am sure there will be a lot of finger pointing now but just think its another case of a company to big to be small and to small to be big. They are all terminal in this day and age.
Peter has helped so many people get a start over years, hope he can reap the rewards one day.

[quote]Peter is long gone. Francis Mining Group from NZ owned it....
A shame for 80 or so folks.
Big $$$$ in the red I'm told.[/quote]
Interesting, seeing as I was talking to him not more than a month ago just before he got back in the BAe 146 to go back to Brisbane.
It sounds like the are another victim of the downturn in mining. They had several contracts for FIFO when I was in Darwin but that is some time ago now. I should add that regional RPT is a fraught game as well.
