seems getting paid peanuts not the only problem, heard via the grapevine that last month the crews were paid 2 weeks late and only got paid just before they had to do a flight.G1,s dont seem to flying at all and 727 didnt fly for about 6 weeks after flying cargo for saa. believe crews not very happy and some resigning. maintenance issues suspect and expect to work extrodinary long duty hours. assume the dawg owner will be running the business.would give this one a miss

believe tramon now having problems with caa.have been stopped from operating and have withdrawn airworthy certificates. seems they really have problems.can now confirm one fe fired for expecting decent salary 
and director didnt turn up at ccma today, fe hired at much lower salary, hence the firing of the first, now resigned! perhaps because he got paid 15 days late last month and hasnt been paid today

As most flights are on an ad-hoc basis, the owner apparently expects crews to fly wayy over duty when they happen, because they hadn't been flying for all the days before the flight. He claims to have been in the Soviet airforce and flown every MiG going, including the -25. Any comment?

This is interesting. This owner, is he the American or does he just work there? I have had some dealings with him and the company and something just doesn't fit. I get the feeling there is a con

I 've been invited for FE interview at great personal cost (live and work in EU) including medical. FE job was offered on the spot and expected to start in a few days. after 6 weeks still nothing further. He was on the brink of clinching a deal with KLM/ Kenya Airways. Also heard of short cuts to save cost on maintenance. Your comments make me worry gentlemen!!
Any fresh update?? PLEASE!!!

Tramon was flying their B727 freighter on contract for SAA Cargo. When SAA advised them that they were coming to audit their maintenance operations, Tramon gave up the contract. There's your answer on this operator!!

flighty 727, would really give this one a miss.sure you havnt heard anything for 6 weeks, plane needs new engine and has no current airworthyness certificate. i would be very surprised if you've actually been paid or received a contract.
believe the sherriff of the court delivered a couple of summons's to tramon air about 2 weeks ago. so no doubt there will be further happenings in these matters in the near future.they are not people to be trusted.

as i understand this, the american now running this "airline" is here on a visitors permit! how does he run a business and stay in the country indefinately? who is he bribing, the emigration officials at lanseria? wonder what sars would say about it?
