Link Training Captains
Techman12
Link pilots were doing a training stint in April/May, WITH LINK TRAINING CAPTAINS, and in June there will be more departures to the UK WITH Link Training Captain/s. Wherever do you dig out your misinformation?

1 day off in 14
Nope,
I'm sorry to say that we fly for contracts that say that we are involved in "special ops" so say goodbye to day 13 & 14

Madam
Welcome on board, at this stage it would be good if you could keep your transmissions to R/T.
You haven't had the vote for that long?
Best regards ArendIII.
I got the vote (and the majority when I married you!)

Insecure neanderthals prevented women from getting the vote. Happily, women have evolved, neanderthals are still neanderthals.
Do you also shower after sex to avoid HIV infection?
You actually got MARRIED just to be the "majority"? That's desperate. Would have been easier to become a traffic officer.
For that matter, did you have to drug the poor woman to marry you?

Airlink owners
I wonder if the following institutions are aware of this fellow JVJ and his track record? viz: Coronation Fund Managers, South City Group and Nedbank.
It might just be in their financial interest to find out exactly what he does. His track record shows up rather cloudy.
We know he despises pilots. But why then does he keep going to airlines for a job?

Nice place to work
I think I might have been a trifle premature in saying that Link is still a nice place to be at.
Working for a company that really blatently hates its pilots is getting to me too. Actions speak louder than words and the actions being taken towards the pilots at link now are not nice. It's a pity. But your 'Life' is not worth being squandered away at Link.
If you NEED time, fine. But if you're looking for some place to be, you won't have any semblance of a life while at link. Neither money or types. Rather sell funeral policies: More loot, nights at home with the kids, weekends off, leave that you can use and you can say where you will be next Saturday!

The s
t is really hitting the fan now. Guys flying very hard now and having to fight for days off to stay legal. Geneva is falling apart because its being manipulated to breaking point and the guys are seriously fed up.
The training guys are talking of quitting and some are now looking for other jobs (even the die hard ones) Heard that the standard is now being dropped for command with outside trainers doing the job. 
I wonder whether accountability is be part of the package. Can you see a chain forming somewhere in here? On the subject of jvj? It has not taken him long, has it? 
Dare I say that sooner rather than later Link will be a much smaller company with RF having a much more hands on approach?

Sad to see it go this way. Also sad to say that you are quite right Ferrari man. Time to move on! It is just not working anymore. Perhaps a classic case of too little too late. We have to admit, it was a good run though.

Checking your make-up
Madam, please lighten up. Being a woman doesn’t make you special and entitled to higher admiration. Reference to your CV and your importance is in shockingly bad humor. Being a woman myself I see no need to aggrandize myself. What I find most amusing is that you are so angry at people for standing up for their rights. Which in itself is mind-boggling as you are fighting about "the vote" while attacking pilots for standing up for THEIR RIGHTS. I am a woman but I am also a pilot.
Utterly amazing double-standard and lack of understanding of what is happening around you. Maybe you should stop looking in the mirror checking your make-up and look at the pilots around you.
And I have heard it from the horse’s mouth…. Training captains are leaving sooner than you may believe keeping the door wider open for the wet-lease pilots. Heard that June stint might not be all that clear-cut anymore.
One pilot tried (and I applaud him for still trying) to extend a helping hand and he’s intentions were spit at and kicked away by JVJ because he does not know what the word “humble” means. He could not graciously accept help because he will have to spent R25k to save millions. Insanely stupid.
Anyway, I am glad that I can stand with my fellow pilots and be appalled by JVJ. Even after I hand in my resignation.

Re Madam
I personally think madam is a spelling error and should be madman. I also recon "madman" is JVJ's ops side kick NvE. Madman's arguments are the same numscull one's NvE tries 2 pull.
I recon we need a purge @ link. NvE,JvJ need firing (i'm just glad NvE's fat wife is gone). Francois should replace NvE & we can do without JVJ's post. I'm convinced his job description is pilot harrasment.
I hope link lost that contract mentioned above. perhaps it will bring RF a flight level or 2 lower.
Love flying, hate management

Judging by the amount of st at link, it must be the greeeeeeenest grass you have ever come across! We should feel sorry for jvj. It must be difficult to come to work, produce such a fake smile and trot around as if all is good. Eventually it will ge to him. That is if he is around long enough. Not so long ago the combined hours on type easily exceeded 10 000hours. Now they struggle to make the minimum of 1000hours. Like so many other things, it must say something to rf. I really do not believe that he cares 1 second for any of his emplyees. It's just business. He has proven that even after 10 years of service he has no problem booting staff like a kentucky wrapper in his way.
