Agree with Doc C. - my contact at HLA is looking for a way out, and everyone there seems nervous about where the redundancy axe will fall next. (See R+N).
The ACMI pax operation hasn't yet proved successful, and it looks like the A300F's won't be busy either this winter.
Money-wise, HLA have always been well below average, but although VDA are paying more, they seem to be looking for people with extensive ad-hoc cargo experience.
I imagine VDA have had a good response to their recent ad, so if you're interested I'd suggest you get your application to them asap.
With the global cargo market generally depressed at the moment, the outsize and other specialist operators may be the safest bet, so good luck.
