All the LGW crew have been told that they will not be needed after the end of April as the base will be closed.
Silver Jet are now trying their damdest to get out of paying any of the crew any redundancy.
There is no longer a crew room at LGW the crew do not know where they should check in, collect paperwork or leave flight paperwork.
They have treated the crew so badly and just when we think that it can not get any worse they manage to dump on us again.
They hope that the crew will continue to do this long haul contract till the end of April and then go quietly.
It is worrying to be working for an airline which treat their staff so badly and that management are so full of themselves that they can not see any further than the end of their nose.
It is a pity that managers do not know what CRM is let alone be able to put it into practice.
I am only now staying to fight for what we deserve and that is some respect in the last month (don't hold my breath as we have not had any since they have taken over) and the redundancy pay because we will fight for that.
Despite the recent announcment that Silverjet crew have all had a payrise - Is that where our money has gone???

Well said Sunnygirl you are saying what most of us are saying down route It will only be a matter of time before the same happens to the crew in NCL and MAN they will be dumped as soon as they have served their purpose. Silverjet never wanted FJE and think they can treat us like s***.
We need to work together and support each other before there is no one to stand up to them.
Time to call the union.
Just noticed it is very annoying and ironic that Silverjet has an advert on this posting

They may be doing well for the moment but Silverjet see FJE as a wart on its finger and it is only a matter of time before they dump on the two remaining bases. They only wanted the AOC and a cheap 767 to get them started. They do not want a charter carrier around their neck as they think they are much better than that.

I see that the charter company freedomflights and xl.com are no longer offering flights from Newcastle during the winter 07/08 season. This is where FJE get their pax from, so obviously all the talk could well be true and no more Flyjet at NCL??

Techproblem - thought the 757's were off to Fedex and FJE/Silverjet were looking for replacements to continue flying the contracts they had signed for 3 years. ie the XL.Com NCL flying, Copenhagen flights in the winter and not forgetting the MAN summer program.
If they dont get replacements thats a lot of subchartering to do or big bucks to payoff the contracts!!

I saw on Freedom Flight while looking at flights for a holiday that Flyjet are still going to be operating flights for XL airways this summer even though it is under SilverJet now... Is this right or is it a mistake... It was a flight to Corfu from Belfast I saw. Was looking at flights to Corfu and I didnt know they flew to Corfu from Belfast so had a look.... Anyone know this??

The Belfast-Corfu is a 'W' with the NCL based aircraft. Has been for a few years now, Finnair, Excel and Air Scandic have all done the same thing - just depended on who had the based aircraft.

Have heard a rumour that there could be some seat sharing on Jets loco flights in the winter, with rumours that jet2 are expanding to SSH LPA TFS and PFO from NCL in winter 07/08 for jet2holidays there could be some seat sharing, or ad hoc?
