I don't think public insight into the financial woes of an airline will determine whether the airline survives or not. After all, 1time is a public listed company. Its not about negative sentiment either, its just facts. If these facts are known to the unsuspecting public, it could save the unwary traveller a few rands though. I doubt whether 1time is keeping ticket money not flown yet in reserve, as required by law, either. So its not us that's egative, its 1time that is busy stroking the cat!

I hope it's not true that the guys leave are taken and salaries help back as compensation for shorter notice periods. As far as I understand business rescue, all contracts are off the table (including employment contracts, notice periods, training bonds etc) and the employees become creditors of the company? Can anyone confirm this fact? If this is so, surely withholding salaries or not paying out leave is a serious offense? Any lawyers out there...

Kykweer, you are being very negative. Having researched your previous posts, it becomes very clear you have a 'thing' about 1time, and if you are who I have been told you are it disappoints me, you supposedly have lots of 'friends' there, move on with your life man, you made a decision, stick with it, 1time are trying.....all we know is 'here say'. Not even the pilots there know exactly what is going on. The fact of the matter is their pax loads are good, they the most on time airline in the country month after month if they can get through this, they have a lot going for them, management are giving it their best shot! There are a lot of people behind the company, whether or not they survive is anyone's guess. In terms of the retrenchments, it is unfortunately a fact of life, companies down size! And then we get onto the salaries, having cleared it up with an actual employee, they were never told they were only getting 50 percent, they were told 50 percent would be paid last friday, the other 50 percent most likely by the end of this week, subject to a couple of top end meetings...Fact is SA will be worse off with out 1time.

fly1981: I agree with you mate. The 1Time Airline rumour mill has been working overtime.
Just about everything we hear about the airline now should be scrutinised before we take it as fact. Irrespective of whether you work for 1Time or one of its competitors (SAA/Mango/Comair in particular), the bottom line is we'll all be better off if 1Time survives. Finish and klaar.
Anyone in the airline industry in South Africa who takes pleasure in prophesying doom and gloom over 1Time, apart from making a royal arse of themselves when their anonymity is discovered, is cutting off their nose to spite their face. Leave the negative speculation up to the media - that's what they do best.

Well, I know for a fact that the dudes at Comair are rooting for 1Time - they don't want to be the only people facing the 'hole with no bottom' that is SAA/Mango/SAX

That's sick bud! These guys have families and obligations. Perhaps that's how you would think, but don't assume to label others by your standards.

You read me wrong, I am talking about SAA, SAX, JE stakeholders who see the prospect of even bigger bonuses as one more competitor bites the dust

Correct me if i'm wrong..... but if you have resigned from 1time, been employed by Amico as a contractor to the airline and this is the case with most of the pilots, then Amico are soley responsible for the pilots salaries (read your contract by Amico if you even have one and I bet you don't). Amico should be paying the pilots your FULL salaries and has nothing to do with what financial status the airline is in.....FOOD FOR THOUGHT.
Let me guess it doesn't work like that, It suites both parties whom works for whom when its suites them, guys be careful.
I wish you guys long and hard flying forever......

That is a noble ambition, but sadly unrealistic. There is no chance on AMICO actually taking the hit for this one, I am sure they have their asses sufficiently covered for whatever backlash.
