Quote: Saturn Wondering if there is any new info on L1011 flying? After the surprise demise of Globejet,
Earl:
I have to agree Saturn, Globejet took care of the cockpit crews and paid us even when things were not so good for the company.
Joe and Miranda looked after the crews and were good people.
The companies to avoid are as follows:
Orange Air/Linejet/Bourtuqalieh Air, what ever they want to call themselves now out of Jordan with aircraft N194AT, or any other aircraft they may try to operate, 747 or L-1011, bad past history with both, crews did not get paid.
Even after operating aircraft that were overdue engine A/D and maint checks.
Starjet UAE also out of Jordan, very bad reputation.
Skyeyes out of Thailand, one of the worse,non payment and bad aircraft the norm there.
All these companies are very shady operators and have a serious issue with the AOC and crew salary, in short they dont pay the crews.
Some possibilities of promising Companies.
1. Privelage Jet, heard these guys did get paid, also out of Jordan.
2. Zoom Airways, jury still out on this one since he is a breakaway from Sunny at Skyeyes with Bangladeshi funding, hope he does pay and keeps his word.
Tristar jobs, the good one anyway are pretty much finished unless someone else comes along that pays.
Unless someone has a sim check from Delta in ATL they are not current and operating illegal.
The only sim left left was in Bourmouth in the UK and was damaged by fire November 2007 and not being repaired.
Sim checks can be accomplished on the aircraft, but this means no cargo and no pax during the check.
I doubt anyone has taken this expense.
I do think that there is a European operator that is running legit and pays his crews.
The rest buyer beware!
