Lingus Bus
FAO: Arik A330 crew currently on unpaid/undetermined leave
The paddys at Lingus are getting rid of an A330 bus before the end of June, so you drivers can pass this info onto Fatman in case he's still searching for a new machine. Trouble is that with his reputation, Lingus might just give him lots of Guinness to drown the sadness of being told a big fat NO WAY JOSE, oops sorry JOHNSE!

It's PAY DAY again !!!
Does it matter if not paid for the previous month?
Is a special Tick, Tock required?
The good news, for Arik, virtually everybody will keep working, money or not. Congrats !

Heard rumors that A330 ops are stuck. Is it true ?
They have actually updated their website from a week ago:
"Arik Air operates a young fleet of 31 aircraft comprising of Boeing 737-300/700NG/800NG, Bombardier CRJ900, Bombardier Q400 and Airbus A340-500."
The A330 is no longer the "plane of the month" on their website
Edit: Arik still lists the A330 in their fleet on this page:

More Arik Good News, Effective 1 April
The company that repo'd the A330 has admitted the were mistaken, and effective 1 April, 2011, will return said aeroplane to the world wide Arik headquarters in Lagos.
As a reconciliatory gesture, the company will also allow Arik to use an additional spare A330 for the foreseeable future.
Arik also announced that they will begin training of Boeing and Bombardier pilots to operate both 330's, and both 340's. No comment for Portuguese company HiFly, who operates both 340's currently, on these latest developments.

Had a Google search and not only does the son have a Phd in Chemical Engineering from Edinburgh University (and no, you can't buy that), but he's got you working for nothing - doesn't seem so stupid to me!

April 1 joke. . . not really !
OK lets get this straight guys, as of yesterday you have been working for two months for free ! ! ! 
Well, in spite of the date of posting I regretably believe you ARE telling the truth.
Are you still showing up for work ?
Is there anybody who hasn't already gone for inteview elsewhere ?
I thought Ryanair were a shower, and their pilots a bunch of lame sheep for accepting the degradation of T's &C's , but Hell
even THEY don't work for free
Clever managemnt you have, they have reduced staffing costs to ZERO, and you are going along with it ? ? ! !
