Antipodean asking for money up front (merged)

[flyblue]

Guys and gals,
as one of our fellow Mods very well put it, "the best way to know if a company has any chance of ever starting operations, is to establish if it has an AOC (Air Operators Certificate ) or not. If they don't have an AOC they are months away from needing staff. Show me your AOC first , then I'll show you mine"
A word to the wise...
