Dream on pal.. or maybe we should all start dreaming again... that way, at least sometimes, we will be able to enjoy the dream!!
Only the rostering might be a bit better now that "the ops lady" is supposedly not there anymore. What about all the rest ??

Dear Katter, you live in a DREAM WORLD, if you are at link you would not be making statements like that. The guys & Gals do their best to make it work, but nun comes without support, and support is few and far, you have to beg for the essentials, let alone something extra. DREAM WORLD MAYBE, BUT ONLY IF U'RE ASLEEP!!!!!!!

Dear NOTOT ... why are you so aggresive? My post was not aimed at you... but rather at "just a job" that thought it might be starting to get better at Link now that our ops lady left...

TO all on this post, life is what happens when you make other plans!!!!
To Ricoffy: U just played straight into my hand, thanks, and keep it out the cockpit.
To Katters: Sorry Buddy, it was not ment at you but there are so many posters here that should not be a part, saw F.U.P there after she was "let go" maybe just a hope. rumour has it she resigned with 1 month's notice. SHOULD WE BE SO LUCKY????

Hi there guys. I am picking up some mixed emotions here from every one about Link. But can anybody adivse me to take a job there. I have a interview there soon, but looking at the bad things like pay mostly, do you think its gonna change and get better in the near future. I dont mind working my ass of, I became a pilot to fly as much as i can. Maybe when i am older that will change and i would want a relaxing job.
My biggest problem is the pay, will it get better. With the petrol price now i am gonna drive out half my salary. Not to talk about maintaining my car and paying the new prices for electricity we dont get.
And the last thing. Do you choose on which aircraft you want to fly on or is it the luck of the draw?

From an outsider perspective soon to be an insider perspective....
I went for the interview, very pleasant, they asked some really challenging questions but were not unreasonable. I got a choice of fleet but because of my location, and not wanting to move it didnt leave me with too many options, however i am very happy with my choice.
I recieved my contract a few days ago- i was very pleasantly surprised as everyone is going on about how bad the pay is, i am earning more than i was on contract, (and more then i was offered at some other interviews i attended). I will be at home almost every night. (the pay apparently works on hours though) The bond is also fair as it gives you a good incentive to stay for at least 3 years!
I must say with all the moaning going on one cannot help but be sceptical but i cannot wait to go on course and join the airline, it has to beat contract and instruction any day of the week!!
All those who have interviews good luck and i hope to see you online soon!

sky waiter.I see you are from PE. If this is the case, good for you. It is probably the best place to be while working for link. You would hardly notice that you are working for link.(That is a good thing) The flying is good down there and you are generally not messed with from jnb. As for the bond, if you stay 3 years then no problem. If I was based in PE I would not easily leave link. Good luck.

lol777, no only 50 or so people have left in a year, cause its a great place to work, I mean there is surelly no problems at all, ops is smooth they fly 60hrs a month and its nice, management are fair, people enjoy it. Pay is good also.hahahaha
I think u need to read carefully or get someone to read to you what people think of Link, mate flying a lot is something you may never have had the pleasure of doing, but doing 950hrs a year, 4 sectors a day with NDB and VOR letdowns all over is not much fun after a few months, it drains you, look at those that have been at link for 15years, the JA of Airlink, they look as if they are about 70years old. It is tough flying!!!!!!
Paid per the hour, they obviously trying to screw u and you have not realised it or read any other Airlines contract or Know no better!!! Pe is the only good thing for you then, cause JHB is a mess, CT will close its doors fairly soon!!!!!
Think about it carefully, cause I KNOW WHAT MY DECISION WOULD BE,
them and their crap!!!!!

sky waiter ... BAD CHOICE!! It everybody say dont join them... you dont join them to prove everybody wrong!!??
Listen here, from experience.. Link start out to be a nice company.. then slowly you start wondering... well maby the crap around isnt too bad.. after 3-4 months online every body is negative.. hating the place.. then you ask yourself.. what wrong.. and realise its the whole setup.. from ground up.. engineers, pilots, ops, managment... the list goest on... AND THEN... you sorry u ever joined!! - even Nationwide is a better place to be because you fly atleast a 737..
Also as far as I am aware JVJ stopped all out station employments.. everybody JHB based.. jou might just have a roster that puts u down in PE.. until JHB needs u back... then u will be JHB... based... they dont care if you have a life down there in PE... they just see aircraft standing.. no crew.. who they call... YOU!!!
Mate.. we can see you new in the airlines... wait .. we will talk in 3 months when u back from sim... hope they got enough instructors.. I know some of the guys are waiting 3 months to go to the sim... wat easy way for link to waste money!!
Good luck!

I understand that it is jvj's new trick not to pay the training captains their training allowance once they resign even though the job was done. Well well well. No surprises to what that man has up his sleeve. Maybe he believes that one should stick to ones morals, no matter how low they are.
Here's a word of advise to those who have a serious problem with their employer.
1. Write them a letter stating the problem and give them 7 days to respond. If no response,
2. Write them a grievance and again give them 7 days to respond. If no response again,
3 Write them a grievance on top of the grievance giving them 3 days to respond. Sit back and watch the sparks fly
PS. If they choose to ignore it just call the good old CCMA and discuss the matter with them from there.

Some info from the rest of the world?
I was reading in the Rumour forum and found this thread.
http://www.pprune.org/forums/showthread.php?t=324859
Well if it is of any consolation to the guys/girls at link - this sounds like elsewhere there is some justice for similar situations? I just hope that in Link's case it does not come after similar circumstances!
Stirred?

As in your total time depends on what your renumeration will be, hope that clears it up...
I was not trying to prove anyone wrong, just some positive points. I am not going to comment on the JNB basing as that is what i was told- we will see what happens.
And it looks as if i made the right decision as at least i now have a job as it doesnt look to promising for the new nationwide recruits (i sincerely hope that isnt the case but you never know)
Anyway carry on flaming me, i can see no one is going to be very positive anyway!
