Information from the grapevine confirms the story,The wonder attached is that Aero has not thought it fit to notify its Dash 8 crew members.A letter dissing Aero from the contract has been recieved and management as usual is still keeping it a secret,for how long?we will find out in a few weeks.Further information is that CHC the owners of 2 of the Dash 8's is reposessing the aircrafts immediately, sic,For how long the confused Aero management can hold out is open to conjecture.How can a serious Management work so hard to lose such a lucrative contract and pitch their tent with geriatric classic tin cans.Small wonder the attrition rate is high as crew are begining to jump ship to hitherto less fancied Arik,at least they get to fly modern aircraft since both companies have benefitted from government largesse A'la bailout.AERO need to get its **** together if thay have to plausibly survive these raging Climes.
For D8 crew All roads lead to TB or get yourself a geriatric 73 type rating.
