Update

Wrong homesick - Cabin Crew Management is now in place and working away at training courses.

Main Cabin Crew interviews will hopefully commence at the end of the month, followed by immediate training. These Crews will be selected from experienced people. They will also be salaried and allowances paid accordingly

Further interviewing will take place through Wynnwith during April/May so there are enough crews ready intime for the A310 operation.

if you need anymore info please email me

Bye for now!!

Lightbulb Pax

Well after a bit of negativity re the amounts of pax on SNA and SN Brussels I am glad to tell you the seat occupancy rates has increased from a 50 to max 60% last week to FULL this week.

Most probably Easter has to do with it ?

Lightbulb I pressume ...

Rentaghost ... I pressume you sit in the front of the Monarch plane.

Sad news as we had to leave an urgent pax there as the local SNA ticket offices said : " Sorry FULLY BOOKED"

For interest sake (and to ^%$ up the travel agent) how many pax was on the flight Rentaghost ?

Cheers,

Gunns

PS: Nightstop for a change - the beers are very cold this time of the year and you are invited

I know that the negociations with the brokers concerning the A310 & B737 are almost completed. When that is all sorted then the offers will go out in writing and the key people will be in position.

The compound has been completed and is ready for occupation.

Wish I could say more, but I am short on info as well. Keep hanging on in there!!

Crewmeal...notice that the CC training positions were advertised until VERY recently, yet the agency told me they had gone about 3 weeks ago!

All I will say to the start up is Inshalla!

Good luck!

homesick - recruitment is on hold until the aircraft details are finalised. No point in promising positions until a timetable is put in place.

Africanhope - I work for the Company and am in regular contact with whats going on.

Any more comments and queries I will only be to glad to answer.

Crewmeal

Regular contact with whom ? Winworth who handles the contract or Capt Pappas who is supposed to be the head of operation ? And what have they actually informed you regarding the operation ?

Regards

Crewmeal

You work already for the company ? What is your position ? Are you paid for your job or being promised pay ? If you work for the company you would (should) have more info (firm)??

Regards

Crewmeal

You are working (as you mentioned) for "Eco Air" ? Is it with Winworth (Julia) or direct with Eco Air (Capt Pappas) ?

Regards

Africanhope - as this is a forum I will not be mentioning names or positions that people have got in the Company.

Suffice to say that the hic-cups have been down to finding the right aircraft without being shafted by some of the brokers that are around. Believe me for the same type of aircraft the quotes, terms and contracts vary considerably. Also some of the 737's that have been seen have been below standard and not what we are looking for.

If you really need to know whose who of the Company at this stage call Wynnwith. I am not at liberty to reveal who has what job on this forum. I am trying to give a positive update on what's happening regarding the start up. I'll continue to update when I get more positive news.

Appreciate that you try to come with positive news.

Regarding brokers, you are problably correct in that some are worse than others, could be though that the brokers want to see some cash on the table before leasing out the aircraft's considering previous history of this area !!

About who (mention of names) is arranging the upstart of this new airline, I can't see that is a problem, it is a straight forward question ! This is not a CIA or FBI operation
