In my time with Avient, we made it very clear (as crew).
If we weren't paid, we didn't fly - endex.
Looks like the hand-to-mouth existence still exists, despite the name/company change, which is sad. A lot of the guys I worked with were good people.

row, row, row your boat
If your rocky beginning lasts one year, then for sure it's rocky!
Such a shame but I guess the crooks at the handle deliberately sabotaged the ship and let it sink. It's the most convenient way to have somebody else pay for one's debts, and start anew.

Still going,going,going..
Well, they are still operating from Gatwick and rumour has it they did a runner from Amesbury(leaving debts like when they scuttled from Vatry) but then again they are a small operation and cash flow/paying people seems to be a recurring issue.

Why did it turn so bad so quickly?
Avient of course, has absolutely NOTHING to do with AV Cargo.

Last week both MD-11's sat together in Lagos. Spoke to a member of the crew and was told that both of them should have left the previous evening but couldnt as they had no line of credit with the fueling companies.....apparently...
Both refueled around lunchtime and departed and they have since been back into LOS.
I was also told by the same person that they had not been paid in full what was due to them for three months...

Avient were angels compared to this bunch of "fly by nights" Still no money available for staff that have been made redundant and current staff not being paid either.

Accident waiting to happen !
Problem is that if the airline is so strapped for cash that it cannot pay the staff, what other corners are being cut to keep the aircraft in the air to fly the next charter for desperately needed cash flow.
If this was a European airline it would have been shut down months ago. The Zimbabwe CAA can have little or no safety oversight of a carrier that has operated to Harare once in the last year, can it?
How SAFA can let these Zim registered aircraft continue to operate into European Airspace and be based in Belgium is laughable.

Hiring staff
Well they may well hire staff but they don't look after them.Late or no payment seems to be the norm and some staff have just been given promise after promise.Still running hand to mouth.

As far as hiring new staff goes, maybe they need to try to replace the ones that have walked due to the conditions, there are a lot of really good guys working there and don't deserve to be tarnished with the same brush as the senior management.
I just couldn't do it anymore and made the decision to leave even without a new job to go to. Luckily enough, got a new job so made my life a lot easier.
