Hello Befree,
Thanks for the post and updates.
"If you need a safe job it is worth avoiding the start-ups like Maxjet and Silverjet. it is different if you are young without a large house to pay for."
Looking at the financial side of Silverjet I have to agree, but would also add that because the management are so desperate to make this work they will do anything, including running the company very poorly with regards to staff relations, and dishing out spin at every opportunity.
'Apparently' we have an unlimited source of funding!
Strange that, they were saying the same at Maxjet.
I hope that the R.Bros. have deep pockets and a lot of sense, otherwise this is going to be one big mess. I really hope I am proved wrong!
"Silverjet was planned a few years ago when fuel was cheap and growth in passengers was rapid. They will have projected that they can make it work with planes 65% full.
Since then the fuel has doubled, planes have failed C checks and ADP has doubled. the planes were 55% full last month even after they have spent a fortune on PR."
Interesting comments Befree.
Various figures have been quoted to us, although the figure of 80% full is normally used.
I have just worked out the average percentage carried out on all my flights over the last 2 month. Wait for it -
It's a staggering 39%. 
So unless something drastic happens soon, or as 'Beston Board' seems to suggest he/she is the only person working really hard and carrying all the passengers,
the company is not in good shape.
What really worries me is without the cash coming from the charter side (Flyjet), where is all the revenue going to come from?
We will barely have enough to switch on the lights in the buildings and the planes, and will be carrying people at a huge loss. This should be the big month for New-York, but I for one am certainly not seeing it in terms of passenger numbers.
With the price or fuel not likely to drop, and the airlines inability to gain credit, it all looks like another Maxjet disaster.
Airbourne-Adamski,
Thanks for the post.
"Hang on a minute, you kidding me.
No offence but I have been in customer service for 10 years, and not once has anyone during any training told me to be yes sir, no sir 3 bags full, like some servent in the victorian ages."
Perhaps "llanfairpg" has some merit in his post.
It sounds very much like working for Silverjet!
Yes Sir / No Sir to management - Yup.
3 bags full - Yup.
Some servant in the Victorian ages - Silverjet definitely.
Come to think of it, the Silverjet management would have been brilliant at running a work house in the Victorian ages, only problem is they haven't worked out yet that people can actually leave these days, and boy oh boy they have been and continue to do so.
Well I am off to put my CV into overdrive, sleep, write Crimbo cards, avoid my Silverjet slave masters e.t.c...
Wishing everyone regardless of their views a Merry Christmas.
Silver Boy. x
