Dash, I posted the following comment on the 'No AOC for SAW' thread the other day........The whole thing looks very interesting to me and somewhat reminiscent of experiences some of us had in the past with organisations such as and including the National Safety Council... time will tell!
Looking at SAW's website you get the impression that it is a very small team led by Mr. Charlton (with smiling photos and seemingly solid resumes?). Not content with the mixed success of their current ERJ170 'project', here they go again with the above advertisement. It reads like the small little team is now morphing into an arms length crewing company (SKY AIR) to provide pilots and I suppose flight attendants for the EMB 145 'project'.
As the story unfolds SAW seems to be positioning itself with a latter day Impulse Airlines business model to contract third party crewing. The question needs to be asked as to why would you bother in such a small organisation - unless the principals need the security of 'arms length' detachment from contracted crews if/when things go pear shaped!! Despite a few interesting comments from others no one has been able to answer the question of HOW SAW IS FUNDED!!!
