GT,

Mauritius?

Closer to 4hrs from jhb than 2-3, and not sure about RSA/MRU bi-lateral (MK/SAA) agreements, but seems like a good choice for 1time if they can do it. Lots of holidaymakers & lots of travel agents / package deals at a cheaper price than MK/SAA?

cheers

DF

Awful Golfer, I agree with your absolutely spot on description of the national carrier. It’s fitting though, a sinking carrier for a sinking country, but please don’t praise the weekend racer,VB. Robbing your staff is nothing to be proud of, or be used as a business model for others. Small point, but rather name the others, like 1time, that do try and treat staff like an asset and not like s**t.

To Skyhooker

This little insert has nothing to do with the current topic of 1Time, but relates directly to your assumptions about me. I apoligise for talking out of sync. I even got myself registered just for this occasion! Yes, this is Jorg, dont know who you are nor do I much care. Clearly you have issues which need sorting. Maybe you are the oke who has been talking all this k..k about me in the first place?!? Now thats not very nice!?!
Hmnnnn.... you dont strike me as a person who is very comfortable in his surroundings, very deffensive and emotional. Thanks for the inspiring advice on getting a job,...and a life to boot!!Will mull it over and send you a thank you note should I be successfull in my new endevour!!

If you want to know what my opinion on 1Time is then read on, it aint earth shattering!! I have friends who fly for 1Time, some have become captains while working in this airline and I am extremly chuffed for them. Others became captains and shouldnt have, just my opinion, but good for them too. Fact is that I believe that 1Time is going to be around for some time to come, no matter what unsavoury rumours might be doing their thing. I have never spoken in a negative manner about this airline and resent the likes of you prostituting yourself to a misguided belief about someone else. Clearly you are still labouring under the belief that your job is what I desire most, I hope whoever is going to wake you up from your current hibernation in LALA land, will be ever so gentle with you.

If you knew what you were talking about you would not hide behind that silly, yet rather fitting user name!Take your own advice sunshine!!!

Enough mudslinging, will let you guys get on with the serious business spawning new gossip!

Devil Huffy Fluffy

MIRAGE
optical illusion, illusion, vision, imagining, phantasm
PILOTE
pilot, nautical term, aviation, figuratively guide, pilote automatique automatic pilot, autopilot

(Bilingual dictionaries C. Langenscheidt KG Berlin and Munich 2000.)

Now, now huffy fluffyfan, beyond that calm, co-pilot like exterior it seems you are a ball of nerves and a master of abuse. hehehehehe

As taken from the dictionary, above a breakdown of my name, for your peace of mind. Taken from 2 French words… pilot, in French is spelt with an "e". Not bad for a 12 year old hey, but who knows, I might actually be French or just have a better command of English and French than you have.

My aim on the website, in addition to making a contribution from time to time, is to calm the tensions, put a smile on a face here and there. But also to have some fun and just to stir the pot a little, sometimes to see who rises to the bait, like you and DC Diesel for example, as both of you were caught by only the slightest hints of provocation on this thread.

Reading the posts gives me something to think about during the day and also sometimes, something to smile about before I go to work. In actual fact I was rolling with laughter this morning after this post of yours…. I’m still smiling… hehehehe

I should not respond......I should not respond........I should not respond...........aaaah it

Miragepilote......just had a look at some of your posts, you are either a moron, or on drugs.......or both.

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
h ah ah aha hhaaaa hhaaa

seriously whats wrong with you.........do you like the funny faces on pprune

Do you work for the SACAA........if so that would explain it
hehehehehe, seems you lost it there for a while hehehehe

No, fluffy, I am not really a moron… and neither am I on drugs and no, sorry, I’m also not 12 years old… but I am sure these attributes would have helped if I did work for the SACAA.

Look for me on your long haul flights, because where I work, you might only have night stopped once in your life. Sadly SAA is the only direct link to Jhb, but this is changing shortly… fortunately.

Companies such as 1Time or Nationwide provides a better service, without bleeding the South African taxpayer dry, and honestly, I would rather spend my money with them, even with the ongoing strike at Nationwide.


Ps: I do like the laughing face, actually called emoticons. Laughter makes the world go round.

If everybody was as serious as you, the fun would have been taken out of flying long time ago and companies like 1Time and Kalula and Nationwide would all have been called SAA…

One expects more from the South African national carrier, sadly the state of the carrier is reflected in your attitude…

Dans le vif du sujet. hehehehehe

Changing the subject, Anyone know what the problem was on a 1time flight yesterday (23rd) it was a Safair leased 737 flying for 1time, but one of their passengers (a child) was sick and on oxygen and apparently ambulences etc called out in Cape Town.

Heads up DC diesel:

If your the the Jorg that I think you are then this one is for you you, if not, I apologize.

I was involved indirectly in your interview process for a certain carrier not so long ago (+- 18mnths back) and did the usual ref checks. Well... to put it diplomatically... Maybe you should revise your opinions of your "mates" at 1Time. Not very flattering reviews. You definitely don't need "friends" like that.

Just a headsup mate.

Regarding the question about the child that had a medical emergency on a 1time flight, the flight was actually on it's way to George and the child started complaining about not being able to breath. He was administered oxygen onboard. Ambulance were requested and were at a/c when it landed. It was suspected that the child might have been suffering from asthma as his mother has a history of asthma and epilipsy. It was later established that he infact had an allergic reaction to his fruit juice that he drank on board that contained extracts of pineapple. Well done to the cabin crew who handled the situation professionally and maintain a calm atmosphere on board.
