Reading all the mail with interest. I am CP for Politiri Aviation
ContractPilots.tc --Home-- - for 17 years - we were contracted to set up the school in RAK - had people there for 3 months getting program in place, equipment, settling arguments between partners (HL and the Kingdom rulers) arranging to get bills paid etc...Program was set to go in December, cancelled 4 different start dates for FA's so when we never got paid from HL in January, boss pulled the plug and moved the School.
Yarmo is a flunkie for Farhad Azima, doesnt know one end of a plane from the other.
Kellie is still working for us and going to head up the new school in the Caribbean.
They are trying to get the school going and interviewing staff and committing but the old caveat "buyer beware" holds true here. Azima has a track record of NOT PAYING anyone so that is why we are not there. Even Yarmo is gone, building is empty, RAK airways has lost their AOC, DC8 sim doesnt work yahda yahda yahda...same ****, different day with Azima in the middle.
DC8s - mostly parked.
Stay away from the school - contact us if you want more info on status but dont be foolish enough to take a job with them.

Speaking of buyer beware, Politiri has ALSO NOT Paid myself and 3 other pilots (1 EMB-145 CA and 2 F-100 CA's) on contract for IRS airlines earlier this year. April and March to be specific. Anyone looking to contract with them should take caution and be prepared to not get paid for your last few months on contract as well as them breaching contract when it comes to paying for simulator/recurrent costs.
I fully expect "buck" to come on here and say I'm spitting verbal diarrhea to save his company's face, but if anyone wants the truth and further information about the unethical practices of this company PM me. I can provide emails and documents proving all this.
I wouldn't come on here and waste my time if this were not true. I'm an upstanding and moral person/captain for ExpressJet Airlines in the USA, with a clean training record, logbook, and resume. I've also worked at Jeppesen Sanderson as a Sr. Revision Planning Analyst for 5 years.
------ Enter buckdadog --------- Take it away buck, what lies are you going to say this time around?? You can advise Mr. Ken Hamilton that the greater aviation public is going to continue hearing about what Politiri did to me until I'm paid what is owed
Thank you all for reading and passing the information along!
