Air Service Gabon
Hello all,
I am considering employment with Air Service out of LBV (FOOL), any info would be welcomed. If one of you happens to work there already, I would be eager to talk to them, PM please. Looking to get the skinny on the operation, maintenance, and somewhat of a market outlook and QOL for Libreville and Gabon overall.
Thanks in advance.

Sounds like a blanket statement.
Care to elaborate, who, with which company, and most importantly when?
What is their definition of success?

ALL AIR SERVICE MANAGMENT SUCKS
EX DIRECTOR OPERATION MANAGER BRUCE FLYNN WAS IN JAIL FOR A WHILE BECOUSE PERSONAL DOCUMANTATION PROBLEMS WITH GABONESE CIVIL AVIATION, THE UNBELIEVABLE THING IS THAT THE COMPANY CONTINUES GIVING SUPPORT TO HIM WITH A NEW POSITION AS SHELL DIRECTOR MANAGER
GENERAL DIRECTOR MANAGER DOES NOT BUY SPARE PARTS FOR THE AIRPLANES
EXPAT PILOT ARE WORSE PAID THAN LOCAL PILOTS
EXPAT SALARIES ARE ACCORDING TO THEIR FACE AND EXPERIENCE.
IT SEEMS THAT THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT EXPAT ARE GOING OUT BECAUSE OF ALL THIS SH.. AND THEY ARE STILL ASKING WHY WE CAN NOT GET PILOTS!!!!
AND IF YOU GO THERE GET YOUR SALARY BEFORE GO TO YOUR VACATIONS OR YOU WILL NEVER RECIVE IT

Gabon is still a Colline of France?
Air Service has to many aircraft.
This is all for the benefit of the managing director.
He is the owner of EUROS, the leasing company that leases the planes to Air Service.
It works like this: More aircraft, more bucks for the director,
Shell and Bongo end up to pay the bill.
The only pipes of this outfit is to fill the pocket of the Director in Luxembourg
Bruce is the only guy there that can make it work and all the bull about him in the news here is the normal Gabon Congosa.
The Gabonese hate responsibility and will blame anybody for anything.
It is a shame, this company could do so well with the right responsible people!

100% agree with FCKNG AIRTAXIMAN !
Bruce is an i***t
dakotanorb, stop to give blow job to Bruce, you are probably on the CRJ due to that, I understand why you like him
but if you were flying for another company before (you were ???), a guy like Bruce will be fired a long time ago. He give such hard time to ALL Air Service 's employees... except dakotanorb and 2-3 other pilots he needs to support him.
Get your money before going in vacation !!!
Cheers !

Well, looks like Air Service made it to the E.U. black list. I hear that airplanes are being recalled by their owners, concerned about both the financial situation of a company who could not pay it's employees for the first half of July, and the operation of their assets within black listed airspace and runways.
Is that smoke on the horizon, or can smoke be created without a fire now?

Lynazeina1, you are not reading those posts right.
There will not be any CRJ before long, as a matter of fact, there may not be any aircraft left at all.
This company will survive as it is a national necessity to cater to a few of the oil companies raping this beautiful country of Gabon. Nevertheless, there will not be any CRJ's here; just as Camair in Douala could not manage their CRJ's for more than a year, Air serv has not been able to do accounting properly for them either. The net result is that those are leaving.
This is just like the horse races, we're taking bets! My latest prognostic, by September there will be two -8, and one -6, and a whole lot of people without a job!
And as far as the local FO's making more... I hear they have just made management sign a pilot contract that would put to shame Captains flying 777 with a global carrier; with a monthly reserve endorsed at 50 flight hours, even in the 60's life wasn't this good!!!

If it's Avionco Gabon, run away fast!
CRJs are gone and things are in a mess at Air Service, but they still have Twin Otter and Dash Eight. Go direct! You do not need Avionco and will have a better chance of getting paid that way.
