Wannabe VIP Operator
Saint Exupery had a good laugh at the new Privatair motto!
Sad but true ...PrivatAir is still living on its glorious past.Fact is the company now belongs to the old(mis) management who are playing it
Like the big boys but are not as capable on getting the job done.More focused on filling their pockets and staying exclusive in Switzerland while the rest is doing the dirty work...Cost cutting procedures are already under way!!
All the above mentioned bases are really closing down and the deal with Lufthansa is also limited to 2013 , Gulf Air contract will run another year but is not extendable.
The only thing that is left is the starting up of a shady airline for Equatorial Congo with operations to Brazzaville ,the only reason being to overcome getting black listed in Europe and Privatair sacrificing their crew to make the big bucks...
Word on the street is that they are in financial trouble and are going to do a big dismissal on the Swiss side , they are pretending to the Swiss government to be in financial problem to be able to dismiss these crews and are internally telling their employees they will be hired on new German contracts obviously with deteriorating conditions as Swiss crews pay less tax.
Company tries to assure the employees that they are doing well and will be able avoid dismissing crews...
Best advice is to stay away from this company , don't think it will be long before they are out of business..!
