Fact of the matter is: Francios is a great "operator", he can see the problem before the **** hits the fan and make a rash dissicion, hence most of us want him there, U can approach him with a problem and work it out, he also understands the contstaints the pilots work under because he is a pilot himself, he is actually for the company, but in a good way. He has always managed to keep the fine line between "operational" and "human" and when he is in office I can work with peace in my heart because all works, can say the same about about another fine new fellow also working in ops, pity NvE thinks he can rool the roost, YOUR DAYS ARE MARKED ON THE ALMANAC, TICK...TOCK, YOU TO MY FRIEND ARE EXPENDIBLE!!!! GUTTER RAT!!!:ugh:

Jeez NOTOT - you guys really are unhappy with JvJ and NvE - maybe their mothers should have thrown them away and kept the storks!:}

I feel that nve is ok to work with, i can accept his ways. I just wish that the hosties could get along with their boss. That would help a lot. :{

It's a real pity that Link has degenerated into a fine mess. As for NvE, I always thought he was a fine fellow when I was there, but looks like he's changed his spots somewhat..on the RF take is he?
But as QVNS put it...guys your grammar and spelling needs to be addressed...man oh man my two year old niece can string a sentence together better than several of you Link fellas! Notot you being one of them!
Are you liking to be an ou wif a jean pant..!Took me a while to realise what you are on about.....a little off the topic!
But hell guys isn't it time you banded together for a last stand and sort the state of Link out! It's been going on for years and somehow would like to see the end of this sorry state of affairs!As for the hosties getting on with their boss...another story!!! That's been an on going issue for years and doubt that will ever change! Maybe the bossman has something to do with that too...get my drifty!!!!!
Probably the best bit of flying you'll ever get to do......pity to see it go!

Commercial decision
 

When you have to deal with a bully, or now bullies, you have a bit of a problem if you think you can make headway using normal rational and reasonable means. RF will fire you, if he and his bullies just think you might cost him an extra cent!
You're not allowed to just fire????? Really? Who is going to do exactly what to him? It may be illegal, SO WHAT? Just do it! His conscience is assuaged by the motivation: "Commercial Decision".
It's pure unadulterated usury. He's going to let you have a life at cost to his profit? Dream on!
You find them (bullies) everywhere, and throughout history. Always will too.
See NW and the path it led them to. ('it' being the archetypal bully!)
:ouch:

No drinking problem
 

All true unluckily......
Reading this thread is enough to put one off drink and flying forever......

Have a question, how much of what’s being posted here is the ACTUAL state of play and how much is just guys with an axe to grind. I know of a couple of guys who have just signed on with Link and they seem extremely chuffed and seem to feel the place is well organised. When I asked them if they were concerned they told me what’s been posted here is drivel and is not the feeling of the crew in general.

Now reading this post I would tend to disagree- the point being Link is still an attractive place to go for some people, are these guys bonkers???? or do they just have the charm turned on high during the interview?

Ask them again in just a few months (or weeks) time. You will be shocked!

Shut the #$#%^&% up!!!
 

Good day guys....

Now where we all most likely agree is that everyone is entitled to their own opinion but non the less all the 99% of the users do...specially with the Link subject is BITCH.

For new crew who are joining you are making it sound like its the worst possible job on earth and no one would want to fly their aircraft. I dont know...ill fly the ERJ and be happy...until its time to upgrade and fly from the left etc. How about saying a good word or at least a positive thing about someone. Take your heads out or your asses and TRY and be nice. Like i said it doesnt seem like everyone is negative but most are. You'll find you will never be happy with your job and guess what we will find all you happy people back on here bitching that their present jobs are ****.

Chin up guys it could be FAR worse:ok:

Try reading the very first post in this thread!
Note that the most aircraft at link are J41's with the most pilots flying...... you guessed it... J41's. The problem started with the addition of these E135's you so willingly volunteer to fly. Let me also point out that many of these E135 drivers complain bitterly just like the rest of the link crew.Yes that includes CA's. Please read the complete thread and a few others related to link before you volunteer your valuable opinion again.

All the input here is taken note of, but at the moment I guess I'd rather be an employed Link driver than an unemployed Nationwide driver.

Spoken to alot of airline guys (SAA and Comair) and all reckon Link is a better option than going back to contracts. :confused:

General
 

To those who are leaving, please leave in peace and stop bad mouthing the company. :) Unless if it's making you feel better, to me just a waste of energy.

I Feel Grrreat
 

Hey, Super Sweepstakes, You say"..unless if its making you feel better".
You know what? It makes me feel f:mad:king awesome!:ok:.
You have a fantastic day now,y`hear.:):)

Enough now
 

Come on guys - does this thread really blow your hair back. I feel pretty sorry for you then! There is more to life than reading this load of L(%%#...t.

I'm going flying!

How many more are leaving airlink? If someone can share this information.

It seems that the people who stay behind will end up accepting jvj's rules and will see nve as no problem and there will be less moaning and ailink will be at last a nice place to be.
The only reason airlink is not a nice place to be is because of the small percentage of idiots who think they understand business and think they have rights and formulate all sorts of petty gripes. You are like babies that have just had some toys convescated.

You are like the masses that ruin the economy and continue demanding.

1 You have the attitude of "they owe us"

2 I think you should have the attitude of "how can we help you?"

Stay where you are and stop moaning and start helping with all you can because we are heading for some tough times.

"better things to do"
 

Then why did you login? Flyboy?:bored:

Most of us help, maybe in a small(big) way but, we do help, u work out saving the Doger 80 kg's of fuel on 1 leg and times that by four(a hint, fuel now costs R8,68 depo price), how much more do you want us to do?? As for Beechbum and his grammer go **** your self, this is not spanish 101, but a thread for the guys at link who are unhappy about their situation. All you guys/gals out there thanks and keep on trucking!!!

That is pretty big from someone with only 13 Posts.

4 Words and 2 Spelling mistakes...But you complain about RF and JvJ's Business Acumen?

:E

:{:{:{:{:{:{:{:{:{:{:{:
Couldn't have expected anything less Notot, you sad individual! Glad I don't share a cockpit with you....missed out on a few psychometric tests did we?
Always amazes me how it has to resort to a personal attack! But then again I have to remind myself who I'm dealing with.:ugh::ugh:
It's a pity that a company I once flew for has degenerated, as I have said before, into a mud slinging back biting environment, as it was a great place to be, with a good bunch of guys and gals.....excluding you of course NoTOTTIE....!
Anyway so be it. Good luck and hope you steer the ship around!:ok:

:ok:Yea- beechbum, tell them!
Those were the good old glory days!

You could help to kill a Union of Pilots,
screw your fellow crewman for personal gains
and fly at Mach 10 !:ouch:

Regards to your low-fuel buddy.
I was told he is still your boss only now in the sandpitt!?
:yuk:
good riddens!
