Money
Africanhope that is sad news indeed.
When I left it seems like that was the last thing on their worry list.
But if you can remember I had my doubts to why they want to lease it straight instead of going through a deal that (for instance) SNA and the Egyptians (previously Monarch did) ? A package deal ...?
I personally think to have your "own" Aircraft on start up and to manage crew / pax / freight / and all the rest is a big tester if you are a small start - up airline ... or what you guys think ?

Very quite indeed African Hope.
Maybe Crewmeal is already practising circiuts and bumps
If all goes well with KLM to Amsterdam - London on Sunday evening from Cape Town and then SNA / Egyptians Monday from London to Freetown I should give you guys all the insider news on Monday night / Tuesday morning.
Cheers and best wishes for a scam - free Africa Airline

Sorry guys - have been away on my travels so am waiting for more news myself.
It does seem that the bottom line is cash, and and when it comes everyone will want a bite of the cherry!
Have been assured the cash is on its way and when it does guess things will start to move pretty quickly

Crewmael: Is there any news on aircraft?? Why has all the money dried up so early on in the start up phase, surely some genious has budgeted for slight hickups.
I usually have an optimistic outlook on things but that optimism is starting to fade rapidly with each month that passes!!
realistically is this opp still on the cards? O ris it dead in the water
Regards Enigmajet.

enigma - appreciate your concerns and I am in the same boat - still waiting for news. But still feel pretty confident about it all as do Wynnwith the agency. Itsa matter of 'when' and not 'if'
Maybe guns has more info as he is on the doorstep!!

According to my contact the A310 wet lease is correct AND two x 737's.
He will be at DCA mid - day and give full feedback.
Going for luch with him and give you guys feedback afterwards. No drinking (Muslim) so will give sober feedback after lunch ..

Hope lunch was good!
Are the 737's a wet lease deal as well according to your sources,or is it just the A310??
Appreciate the updates thanks a lot.
African hope
I have heard nothing from Wynnwith in a long long time!
I dont know if they read this or not but an occasional phone call wouldnt go astray. I take it that you are Cabin Crew, I'm afraid that I have no news on that front. Or on the flight deck front for that matter.
Still trying to keep the good side out!!

I am flight deck crew.
Regarding the B737 I have no info !
As it is a wetlease Wynnwith (A310) they will have no say in that matter but maybe for the Cabin crew/flight deck B737 depending what kind of contract it is ?

Better news ?
I hope I have a bit of better news today ...
"Bumped" into a guy last night over a few pints.
He mentioned that "all is on track" .. he mentioned the A310 but he spoke a lot about two 737's coming from America via the UK for inspection.
Hopefully Monday less speculation and something very positive for you guys !
Cheers
