Oasis

Don't know but I guess that would explain why he never answered my email query.

Sounds like a good rumour! during the period of the LGW roadshow, I had regular e-mail contact, but nothing for a few weeks now, despite me sending several mails. Its gone very quiet over there! anybody now why?

4 years an So is only true for Cx, what about Cx freighters which could give you command in 4 years. What about Jet airways which is offering overseas bases on 13000 Us a month. What about Korean, Asiana, China Airlines, King Fisher, all the airlines in the middle east. All you have to do is pick up a flight international, there are tones of jobs out there

Believe the SA chap that conducted most of the SA interviews and offered the jobs to the Mango pilots has been fired/dismissed/agreed to leave....

So the heavs at Mango wont be going by the sound of it, and now you know why the others have heard nothing - I wonder if Oasis management knew about these interviews.

Was speaking to a Spoories capt last week whose son is waiting to hear and he has likewise heard nothing.

As a very senior capt at a local airline says: These start up airlines they come and go so quickly.......

I hope your very senior Cpt will be wrong this time... But for sure, if you want to be, one day, a very senior cpt in a company, or you better start very young, or you have to accept to take the risk with a start-up, and cross your fingers. My choice here....
Next 2 a/c coming in June and August.
For latest interview of CEO, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/oasis_hong_kong_airlines, espacially bottom of page.

If You are considering resigning from your established job for a position with a startup do the following



Go to bed and do not get up until the feeling goes away!

Here here ZS340.

Seen far too many people resign from stable jobs to go to new low cost carriers and end up with nothing.

Rolls over and goes back to bed..........
