Incredible that we use the German word for it, because it's much more of a national characteristic of us Brits (see virtually every other thread in this forum)

lady in red:
1.For your info, Im actually in full time employment
2.Why would I go back to flying an ATR with 767 experience
3.I don't wish Air Wales bad luck but was trying to point out to my colleagues(those that I have tolerated of which you were not) to get alternative employment while the airlines are actively recruiting.

It's not suprising really but:

Air Wales are no longer selling:

Cardiff-Paris BVA
Cardiff-Belfast City
Mnaxhester-Rennes
Jersey-Rennes

NSR,
It sounds to me that Memo Panel has got it spot on.
Why do you post such negative comments about a company that you no longer work for ?

is it me, or are you people taking my posts too literally. If you read them properly there is no negativity meant. its more of a third person observation of the current "situation" . Although I must agree that there is validity about posting about a company one no longer works for as it just serves as a depressing reminder.

Thumbs up

No Sp - I wonder if that airline which serves as such a 'depressing reminder' gave you your first break into commercial aviation...? Perhaps now you are lucky enough to have moved on from such a hideous experience, you should write about something else and not submit your rather negative opinions which might be of some concern to AWW's new crew members.

Memo panel, I do not have to justify my post to anyone especially you. This is an open forum, bottom line. As you have no personal experience with the airline I'm not expecting you to have a clue as to what I am talking about. Others who have worked for the airline know exactly to what I am referring to. Now change the subject, youre starting to bore me.

PPl chill!!!

I dont think what NSR has written is all that bad; he seems to reflect my opinions (albeit only my opinions) quite well. I dont think the points about 'getting out' are meant maliciously but maybe friendly advice?

From an outsider looking in Air Wales seem to be struggling. It looks like they have had a very hard winter, without looking at the exact figures I would guess a fairly poor on time departure rate, with seemingly a lot of cancellations and route changes would summise it quite well. Load factors I don't have a clue.

Hopefully, the summer schedule will turn things around for them and, as Flower said in an earlier post, "clearing out the deadwood" could be a revival for them.

Good luck for all at Air Wales, looks like these are hard times.

Why does the Lady In Red continue to write such rubbish on here only to remove ALL her posts a day or so later?
