Could it be that with VK up and running Harford will be tasked with another startup (Pacific)?

Just found out that the salaries were upped 25% for 737 and a whole lot more for those selected for the airbus.
Still falls well below target for those on the 737 though.
Sn should'nt be expecting me yet, he has some more work convincing his fellows that they need people like me.
The money does not yet cut it,even locally!
When they are ready we will know.

Nijasea, how would you know?

surely not

Now to get this away from issues of pay and back onto route development.............................

Today saw the successful launch ex JNB of Virgin Nigeria services to Lagos. The flight left a little late due to a late arrival from Lagos but all else went very well.

So the second long haul A340-300 route is now underway for Virgin Nigeria, and the growth continues!!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats VN and SN

Now back to the cricket .. India 49-4

Still digging? You might pop out the other end and hey presto !!front row seats at the test match (England/Pakistan) England held on for a draw on the final day of the second Test.
Could be a sticky wicket you know!, have fun.

Oh by the way, thanks for the update on the launch of the new route. Whats next?

surely not

Oyindo, I have chucked my spade away....................

Good to see the easy rider back on the topic, hope the snow in UK isn't too upsetting.

Sweltering heat here in the Cape

Now naughty, naughty SN, no throwing your spade out the cot. You may need it later. I shall get you another for Chirstmas.

Its sweltering here too now off too Pat's Bar, where the Gulder is cold cheers.

Wonder when we will be seeing Virgin South Africa or Virgin Link

Gunship

Imagine Nationwide Virgin(s)

You will of course ... you work for them

LongJohnThomas

Aha!
Gunss like i said, you said it all!
He was on board the AIRPLANE!

Rani

Kudos to everyone who made this a reality!
Finally, a Nigerian airline to JNB! And what an airline!
SN, what's next for VK? The ops are hunrgy for the 2nd A340, and perhaps a new destination (Dubai, JFK, etc.)

Gunship

West Coast of Africa perhaps ?

surely not

LJT don't rely on catching fish for food, you keep casting your bait in the wrong areas

You are wrong with your deductions.

Rani, all will be revealed in the fullness of time.
Gunsss if we do I am sure you will be amongst the first to know

Gunship

I am now the mayor of North Africa ... but my partner will be of great help

Cheers off to Cape Town for a pint or 6

LongJohnThomas

Sn
Everyone has a right to be wrong.
If i am? Accept my apologies.
I remember that i was NOT the one that said you worked for them or that you would be called outta your monday meetings?!
Like i said if gunss deductions are wrong? Accept MY apologies.
Seems im the one who gets shoved around when tempers start to fly.
Its all good anyhow.

LongJohnThomas

The pay issue is part of the developments concerning VK Sn, take note.
However, since you'd rather not talk about it? Thats fine by me.
Gunss, keep your head up as always man.
Oyindo, kudos to you matey.

Rani

Can we go back to our topic please?
LJT you always highjack topics! The pay issue will hopefully be perfected soon, no point in bringing up over and over!

Now, let us debate SAA's fear of Virgin Nigeria


p.s. how were the loads on the inaugural flight?
