Yep they still alive....... had an email from them few weeks back.... well I censored the first reply !!! what a bunch of arrogant ars#holes....talking of emails I also saw an email lately, addressed to one of there fellow staff members....Man you wouldn't catch me dead working for them...mind you I dont !! 
I still hear they pay lower than hours requirments,(To quote another posting refering to Solenta), then they put you in the ops (sorry Jokers, idiots and genuine wannabees) section for 6 months, then when have learned a kak attitude, and begged and pleaded they might just send you out into the field to fly as co pilot, bonded for god only knows how much, and paid even less than what you started on, no chance of promotion as you can't get the command hours... mmmmmmmm the list goes on.....
I was going to add If I was spoken too the way they speak to their own staff... well I was !!.... my suggestion RossAir.... learn to talk to people like humans and learn some manners then maybe you will keep the good guys, attract the better types from the cesspool they call aviation and you will have a much happier and loyal crowd of pilots working with you .... not just for you.... but hey then again you guys at the top don't seem to give a sh#t... rumours of course...
Will probably get flak from this but hey, where I am beers cold and almost free...

So, J.D....
You must know "Braindead" then.
And of course, let's not forget the "Udder Professional" who took 34 minutes from the time he started #2 on a 1900D (#1 had yet to turn) until he taxied. And this was a med-evac from PNR.
I do know many good guys working there, however, so even if the top is tainted, the guys in the trenches are sometimes ok...

That cant be brain dead Ed perhaps ??
I think most of the good guys left after they got stiffed for the SAA FNG's who were put on the new A/C ahead of the old hands...shame really.... but PR dont seem to be their strong point....
Mind you last FNG that tried to be better than the rest got his feet burnt (lighter fluid when he passed out) and face decorated with permanent marker....shame !!
Did meet a guy who started with braindead... Dan, the Fire Man...... now he was a character and a half....

Blue Bro',
My info says "the man?" (you mean the wuss Braindead) actually had his hair dryer coils cut, but his luck held. PC's, Check Rides, Hair Dryers, all the same for "Brain Dead".
Did you guys knnow he's a Freemason and he dyes his hair red to get rid of the gray?
So Blueline, did JJ tell you who I was at Halloween? With authentic dress I was shades of Capt "O".

Allah Akbar...
Blueline and DI3G, what do you think is the best part of Africa... For me it was the part when I got off the airplane in Europe, home sweet home. Not looking forward to going back. But what can you do. Beggars cannot choose.
I hear braindead has been sighted in somewhere around Raleigh-Durham in the past few weeks. He has been looking for a new hairdryer and a net to keep rocks of his roof.
Also heard that JJ sightings in Miami are to increase quite a lot in the next few weeks.
Questioooooon! is it true that you get quite plump on all Rossair contracts???

Hey guys, dont slate them to much. Who else will hire no time pilots, put them into a reliable, respectable aircraft. They get good hours and a great start for a future.But then.....where else can you not get paid for a while, live in a tent during seasonal flooding, get shot at, deal with rabid dogs, animals with anthrax, no spares,Taliban, Somali's, Sudanese, Angolan's, Algerians, and other nice mannered folkas well as clients with attitude..then again...where else can you meet lovely nurses, irish lasses,aussie shella's, and naive americans. Could be fun ya?....May the war never end!

saw your references to PNR and had a few chuckles. I'm sure we met in Jun/Jul this year; you gave us a lift back to Brazza to fetch the a/c after the lebs decided to send us home with the Antonov!
You still doing that thing in PNR?
Remember; "pull my chain, and the toilet will flush" <img src="wink.gif" border="0">
btw; the rocks on the roof was a dead giveaway

In reply to Jam Donuts initial diatribe against rossair, I would just like to say that the recruiting system that he seems to have a problem with must infact be working very well if it was able to keep persons like himself out of the company. I took the opportunity to take a look at your profile and this seems to explain alot about yourself and possibly why your application to rossair was met with so little enthusiasm.
It appears that Jam Donut's facts are way off regarding salaries and pilot moral at the moment.
Inspite of the worldwide slowdown in avaiation rossair appears to be going from strength to strength and many new contracts are being started as I write this, keep your eyes open for them in North Africa and the middle east.
Jam Donut should possibly put less emphasis on his prediliction for cold beer and sex (see his profile) and slaging off potential employers and concentrate more on improving his personality.
