Tough times ahead. Anything that generates jobs and stability should be supported rather than attacked. This attempt seems to have got off to a bad start by setting about things the wrong way but hopefully he can get all his ducks in a row and provide opportunities for a few more aircrew and CC types to earn a living, even if it's for AQ.

Thumbs up for more jobs
The issue and concern is that if they're going about it this way just starting up - will they maintain a successful airline in this economic climate and keep those jobs?
I too, hope it's not just a "fly by night"!

Apparently not starting (yet). Their website is now REALLY confusing - more than before. It seems he's advertising the "brand" for sale (or the concept). The latest news puplications have them stating they are going to apply for their own AOC.
Not sure what's cooking- but doesn't look like they're going to fly any time soon.

Could work..!!
A bit strange to see a "Limited Resources" co. coming up with a start-up at this stage of the game.
Apparently the man behind the idea has lots of credentials to his name (First brown SAAF pilot) and eventually CEO of some blackbird company.
Any idea about the flight school(Natal Flight Academy)?
From the grapevine: That school was already bankrupt when blackbird took over.
looks like they are going to start ops with 737 equipment and eventually e-jets.
Anyways, the charos are loaded man. They will definitely cook up sthing scaly and make multi-millions out of it.

I agree Jet: something scaly is cooking in the pot.
This guy is big on his so called 'credentials' but does he have any $$?
I can also register a company, call myself CEO but meanwhile the company isn't too well padded in the dinero department. Me thinks before any1 resigns from their current jobs to go work there, ask to see the proof, ie training booked and PAID FOR at the simulator facility etc.
Sound slike something fishy in the briyani pot to me ek se

Nothing happening!
AQ contract in Jordan is Khalas (finito, fin, over,done) crew wondering "should i stay, or should i go"? Interesting days ahead for AQ large payroll 100+ and dependent upon Mike Douglas & Kellog Brown & Root in ORBI. Lets hope Gav pulls a rabbit out the hat...... livelihood's depend on it.

German flight magazine AERO produced a note in its Jan edition that V B (ex Nationwide) bought 3 732s from the Nationwide auction to start his new airline "airtime airline"
