HMMMM....
The rumor is:
Bathtub you got the cat by the tail.
You sound like the only one with an ax for grinding.
The Algerians have never been a happy bunch of trolls, especially if it sounds like work.
About Medavia...dont know....(it will make logistical, operational, and financial sense if you think about it. Leasing and subleasing is a wonderful tool. Just ask Airserve and Naturelink. Especially if you add the words "....with the option to buy...") They might just all be kept on the SA reg.

Learn your lesson!
Merry Christmas to all of you! Especially those still in Hassi…
I have just one thing to say, half of Rossair now works for Solenta, they were there before NAC pulled in, those were the good old days when the wine flowed freely at Multicatering!
You all know whom I’m talking about! So catch a wake-up and dump AEA now!
How many crewmembers have been burnt there!
And as for AD, she likes to build her own little empire or spy ring, by doing this she will only end up without a job soon enough once AV has his way!
Salamalikom, malikomsalam, green leader!!!
Merry Christmas

Curious!
Just curious what is happening in Hassi!
Anyone have any more news? The last I heard was that the smoke about AD was coming from a real fire and not a rumour! Is NAC pulling out and is Solenta pulling in? What is happening to the pilots?

....ok Air Express
Dear Ladies...
Been there, done that...rumour has this to say...
NAC still has interests up there and Solenta want in...hey even ET were thinking about it with their old Rossair Connections (Pilots)...
Having had some experience in the Arab World for a few years, the Algerians are great people, however the greed that comes with AEA has compounded a problem for so long that it has manifested into a typical way of doing SA aviation!
Lets just screw everybody that we can! THe Algerians learnt from the SA operators how to screw SA guys and the SA companies learned from the Algerians how to screw u the local algerian way.....compounding the problem.....
Funny thing is some operators want to get in on more of the action...great!! Some are more thick skinned than others because its all about money...thats if u can get it out of AEA!
So, GO up there making sure, u are paid in US upfront and all will be ok! Simple economics.
I loved Algeria, but I got out at the right time cause I was being shafted by both operators at the time...a double wammy!!!
The wheel is turning folkes where u as crew need to decide the following; Do u fly for what? desperation for experience, desperation for money?..cause it sounds like both....or just simple living life so the operators dont screw you!!!
Algeria is a mess so dont go where u are asking for KAK! Simple...
Ciao

Solenta will be in Algeria with 3 or 4 1900's sometime during February.They will serve the B.P contract.It sounds like AEA are going to recruit crew from N.A.C but it remains to be seen if any will join.

Need info
Hi all,
I really need some information about AEA in order to make the GO/NOGO decision.
If one of you guys can please take 10mn of his time and give me some helpful answers.
-Any information about AIRTECH and their LET410?
-For how long are they operate there?
-How is the management?
-What is the roster like? Number of hours per month?
-Pay scale? Per diem?
-Typical Conditions? Food/Accomodation? Transportation?
-Life in Hassi??
ANY advice, piece of information, story is MORE THAN WELCOME!!
I thank you all guys.
Wouldn't be able to make my opinion without your help.
Please feel free to contact me by mp as well.

I see you are in Paris, so I am guessing you live there...
In my opinion, one would find it very difficult to live in Europe on the salaries they pay there, and that is if you even get paid at all.
My advice is, dont go, especially have nothing to do with Airtech and the Let's.
The people who run that are spawn of the devil, and I know of a few who sold their souls to them...not good.

I don't live there presently, I'm in Africa now, flying the LET for another operator.
But 6 days on duty a week, pay is ****y and 1 month OFF/year...
Was trying to find some better conditions for myself. I'm not afraid of hard work as long as you get paid for it.
Thanks a lot anyway.
Can you please tell me some more, providing some more details??
I'd really appreciate.

Dearest south coast
I have met you once in Algeria and I believe you left shortly after that which to my calculations is about 2 years ago.
Now to the best of my knowledge a lot can change,especially in the aviation industry, in 2 years time.And believe me alot has changed in Algeria and most of it for the better.
Even more has changed for Air-Tec.So I would suggest you leave the people that knows whats going on to give information to people who seek it.It might just be THE ideal place or the opertunity that,that person is looking for.
fly2fly Air-Tec has been in Algeria for the last 3 years and have operated in many other African countries.Mangement is sound.Roster generally is planned to work out at 42days on task and 38days at home.Depending on the contract you will be placed you should fly about 60hrs a month.Salary will be what you negotiate and I havent heard anyone from Air-Tec not getting paid.Accomodation and food is generally good and Hassi is right in the middle of the desert.Transport is provided by the company.
I am not gonna tell you take the job but I must say I have been working for Air-Tec for two years and through them I have been able to achieve my goal in flying.
I dont have anymore to say but to wish you luck with your descision.

You can ignore what Skykreeper has said.
He pm'd me saying he had met me once and therefore knew who I was.
Since I dont include in initial conversation what my Pprune username is, he has obviously made an effort to find out who I am.
I pm'd him back asking, since who he knew who I was, could he tell me who he is.
He refuses to put his name to his statements, and I dont mean in the public forum, but in a private pm.
So therefore in conclusion, I would disregard all he says about AEA and Hassi.

Say what you like south coast I couldnt bother me.I know what I know and if people believe what I say or not,really I dont care.
But just to let you know I didnt have to make any effort to find out who you are, I have actually known for a long time.
And thanks for reminding me as to why its not worth it to post anything to anyone.

Which operator you are flying for?
I had my experience with Airtech as well...
I would say in Africa they are not the worse but donot expect to have a social life in Hassi or Teg or any other stations (that was one of reason I left).
It al depends of your personal expectations...
If you want more private details feel free to pm me..
P.S. Hi SC how you doing? I hope you are allright..

You guys seem to be forgetting that Solenta has already operated in Algeria for Tassilli.... 2002-2003..... Seems like lessons learnt then have been quickly forgotten.
That was a cluster second to none. If you think the BP contracts sucked, speak to anyone who spent 6 weeks in In Amenas or Rhourdenous for Sonatrac. 2 french tv channels, miserable food, and those 2 punks constanly trying to call their boyfriends cutting off the internet connection!
Aaaah, the good old days.................
