Terms and EndearmentThe forum the beancounters hoped would never happen. Your news on pay, rostering, allowances, extras and negotiations where you work. Let others in the industry make educated choices on where the grass is less brown! Scheduled, charter or contract -
Like I said it earlier. This was an easy way for some local “ big shot ” with political influence to derail some of EU dedicated to Romania funds. Open a company, show you have serious intention, get the money, close the company, keep the money, be proud of yourself for being extremely smart and EU extremely stupid. Welcome to Eastern Europe business model.
Not just confined to Eastern Europe either:
What about Austria, Portugal, Austria, Ireland, Austria, Italy, Austria, Spain, Austria, Latvia, Austria, Poland, Austria, Estonia, Austria, Lithuania, Austria.
Is that them all? Oh I forgot Austria!
ok guys, I saw most of your posts, and I have the impression of a political talk-show, I mean someone asked infos regarding a future job, and now you are dealing about, romania, romanians, gipsys, bigshot on romanian economy, how poor are the romanians, etc......well I personally said and I am sustaining my opinion about the opportunity of romania to be member of EU.To be fair , romania has not and will not have in the immediate future the quality of an true EU member, but it is just EU wich needed another 22 millions of people inside.Why?, because of globalisation gentlemen, all of EU product have to be sold, romania represents after poland, the second easteuropean market.I know, it is not easy to educate 22 millions people, to make in a night rich 22 millions people, to cover all romania surface with hundred km of highways, and so on...... I saw many situations inside romania , but also abroad.Good things and bad things.What can I say , especially political class, justice, police are labeled as most corrupted, but, tell me a country ,worldwide , when everything is perfect......as regarding citizens , could anyone tell me if in the street, or in a public place to ask for some help and to be refused? yes, it is a long way to catch westeuropean countries, but never say never.good night!
So has anybody heard anything about this job..? I was contacted around beginning of January for this and still nothin....
You will hear faster from Mars. This was the Romanian version of Nigerian scam. They do that with EU money. Now I hear Romania got approved for another 27 bil euros. Good times for wise guys in that country. New scams coming up 'till all the money gone.
No matter how eager you are to get a job.....for god's sake think!!!!!
This could be a marrow sized shafting and from that neck of the woods, would you trust it?
I be the flat is probably next in the red light district and your neighbours armed dealers.
And for a JS job - naaahhh!!!!
2800Euro/month salary + flights => about 4000Euro/month
Would that be before or after tax? Where would you pay tax?
Of course one must be careful with a new start up but then again the bills must be paid one way or another. It's easy to caution against such jobs when you are in secure employment.
The Jetstream is a great little aircraft although getting a little on the old side of the drag curve now.
The job is opening back up, apparently financing has been secured, I told them that yes i continue interested as are a few other friends of mine, all of us typed in 320 and 330, ex-captains with NO WORK.
The desert, vietnamese prospects ? Close to nil, and we all know the real truth once stuck in the sandpit. Vietnam ? perhaps the best bet but too far away for the likes of me and my friends and their young families.
I have worked as a carpenter, barman, construction worker, waiter, musician and other tasks to make ends meet while also self financing my aviation career ( 13K hrs, 7K hrs PIC, F 50,Bae ATP, Falcon 20, B 737, A320 and 330, Long Haul Etop ops all over this suffering globe ) and I will continue to do whatever is necessary working while you prima donna whine about T´s & C´s....I have captain buddies on 320 making just over 4 grand a month and even they are under the gun as the goddamned low cost forever try and squeeze the life out of them to make more money. I say its not going to get better if not just the opposite...
Romania ? I know people from there and they are PEOPLE just like you and me. One must adapt, period.
Prima Donnas Drop Dead.
Airline operator will be Blue Air (IATA : OB / ICAO : JOR ) , a Romanian low-cost carrier based on Bucharest Baneasa (BBU). They are the AOC holder.
They are operating now a fleet of 8 B737 (2 x 300 , 3 x 400 and 3 x 800) , aquired a 9th one (B737-500 ex OY-MAA of Sterling) and have a firm order for 3 x B737-800 and 2 x B737-900 brand new from Boeing .
Aside , they have a 3 yrs term contract with Romanian Post for express mailing from 7 local airports to BBU base. For this they use some Piper on short term wetlease from RAS.
About J41 : they already announced flights CLJ-SCV and return (x6) and from there 2 x weekly SCV-VCE and 3 x weekly SCV-VIE . This is just the beginning . Rumours says that first J41 will come from Eastern and will be based on Cluj Intl Airport (CLJ).
Does anyone know aout more than one J41 that JOR intend to operate ? Would be interesting to find.
