JVJ up to his old tricks at SA Airlink
Heard that a senior Captain at SA Airlink and chairman of the pilot's union, was dismissed by JVJ for voicing certain opinions regarding issues within SA Airlink. So the man is causing trouble and strife again wherever he lays his hat! Brings back memories of a previous union chairman who was asked to pack his backs for voicing his opinion on various issues too.
Can Mssrs F and Co not see through this character, or was he hired to do all of dodgy's dirty work?
I hope that the mentioned individual takes JVJ to task on this ....seems unfair in my opinion!

This is terrible news ! The senior captain in question is really a good guy and has done such good things for the pilots at Airlink ! If this news is true it will be a big blow not only for the brotherhood but also for the BAE146 fleet because they are short on captains as it is !
Holding thumbs that this is all a rumour !!!!

More than just a rumour.
But doesn't Airlink learn??
Last time they fired the head of the union it cost them a couple of million rand. Ok it took a few years but they paid in the end.
And now they do it again.
You have to wonder!

SAAirlink pilots you have my deepest sympathy! Anything jvj does should be regarded with great suspicion! He's a bean counter with an intense dislike for pilots and rumour has it that he was dismissed from an executive position (with a prominant airline in the indian ocean), for smuggling cigarettes....and I'm not talking just a pack or two here! Who needs leaders and decision makers like that in an airline!! On the up side, he'll probably do something dumb again and get himself fired once more.

I foresee interesting times ahead. The guys must just stick together!!! I hope that the guys learn from the last mistake. Remember any UNION is only as strong as its members.
JvJ is a known dip ****. He doesn't hang around long before he blots his copybook.
I have a feeling Solidarity's lawyers will have fun with this. I REALLY thought they might have learned from last time.

Suitcaseman,
you said:
Then in your next post you went on to say:
Is an employer not supposed to give 3 warnings before firing someone?
Quite a change of heart! What happened to change your mind? Or was that first post merely a knee jerk reaction?
you said:
If its the same guy that was the disgraced chairman of the previous union then I say "Well done Airlink, thats the first thing you have done right in years".

This is bigger than the person that has been fired. This is management trying to intimidate the Pilots Representatives. The pilot body has to stand up or its gonna be shafted forever.

RF eats CROW for Christmas, not turkey!
Well, here at Link, we PRACTICE what 'they didn't teach you at Harvard Business School'.
Well not this round. RF with his new 'Buddy' JVJ, (who undoubtably sold himself to RF as "The Axman" Link needs, to get these hated pilots in line), will be 'Eating Crow' for Christmas on his fancy yacht,. No turkey this year. It's burnt!

Is it confirmed that the Chairman has been reinstated? If so, this is good news indeed. Let it be the first of many 'touchdowns' to be scored by the Airlink pilots.
Sadly where JvJ goes, lawyers will surely follow. How does this twit get employed?

Guys! Really? So now who has the kahoonas to post with their names? I am tired of all the second-hand info that is being posted here in this forum. It's time you get your facts straight before slagging off those that pay your rent in Hillbrow.

I think most of the stuff posted here is VERY 1st hand!!
Anybody think this guy is for real? I also doubt it, but would be VERY funny if it was.

JVJ. How Sad.
An arrogant,boorish,ignorant little man.I predict that RF will tire of his bull-in-a-china-shop approach once he (RF) is embarrassed in the near future (as he shall surely be) when shareholders start asking searching questions about the on-going labour tensions at Airlink. JVJ will be the downfall of Airlink,not the pilots.

Naw, the some of the Exco/Board at Airlink are shareholders. They will only push so far before they back down. Some big ego's there, but ego dont pay the dividends. The boys and girls must just stand together. You can run an airline without a JvJ, but man, VERY hard to run it 'sans' pilots.
RF knows that the pilots taking a days unpaid leave to drink beer and braai in the parking lot, while the 'airies' stand on the C apron, would take a WHOLE load of explaining.
I just find its all so sad. In the 'golden years' in the late '90's it was a great place to be. Funny, it was making BIG cash then too. Wonder if they have figured it out yet?

JVJ is not welcome
Apparently RF is only getting JVJ.s side of the story. RF thinks the pilots dislike him because JVJ stands up to them and they dont like him for it and so on.
Well Rodger i hope these questons will help you to get rid of him.

Well Rodger i hope these questons will help you to get rid of him.
- WHO is more important JVJ or the pilots?
- Why are so many people antagonistic towards JVJ?
- Is it only the pilots who think he is an idiot?
- Will airlink be a nicer place to work for if that moron leaves?
- Has JVJ ever had a positive track record?
- Has an airline ever prospered with his presence?
- Is jvj and his idiotic decisions of any benefit?
- Does JVJ's moronic salary proposals make any one want to work there?
- Is Airlink's flight safety at risk because of him?
- Has Airlink benefited from him?
