Thanks Toothpick.

Pilots or employers can form their own opinion from the information you have provided.

what was the reasoning behind suspending FRA again? i cant imagine it was lack of aircraft but i'm sure someone can enlighten me.

they'll need to come in daily in order to be competitive at FRA.
and good luck to them on finding slots

Toothpick, I have no problem at all with you sharing information. Thanks for the thought. My comment was more directed at the fact that this, in general, is old news. Again, thanks anyway.

The decisions were made nearly two weeks ago about the four stations but nothing has been announced.

The schedule has also been released until the end of October but it is very contradictory to what was going to be announced.

Does anyone have a relative on the board ))

Live's and mental well being is in the balance here )))

Grrr The end of the world is not nigh - yet

Guys,

Try to put a positive spin on the situation – there may be yet a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Or, of course, it will all turn to crap and the doomsayers will have been proven right!

announcement

anyone know when this " announcement" is due to happen, and should we give them say 3-4 months for it to come out ?

Announcement

There will be much wringing of hands by the B of D over such an announcement.

Announcements mean decisions have been made, and who made the decision is responsible for it. Read - can be blamed.

Can take months, if at all. Usually just done on the quite.

Notice how staff who should be sacked are retired, usually like Tenga H on full end of term benefits.

Things can't be that bad in the Abode of Peace.....heard some blokes from Easy Jet came over and are settling down comfortably without the whining and bitching.

you are kiding WiraMelayu

Yes it is ok if you are single and dont have any kids otherwise forget it!

Yes I have heard about the announcement well it has been carroted for about 5 years and still nothing. Even if they did pay 75% in school fees (what about 100% you tight arses!) they would still have to atleast double the pay to keep people and this would not be competitive compared to other places.

I am sorry the local mentality is that people are lining up to join the sh*tty organisation! even though people are leaving in droves.

The only hope is a complete collapse and to start again!

I am sorry these are just the facts rather than the fantasy some people like to believe, wake up people and move on to greener pastures!

Announcement

I have been reading these threads with interest. I would like to add: pilots of airlines from all corners of the industry have been waiting with baited breath on announcements about to be made by management. Announcements due at the end of the month, the next board meeting, the end of the financial year and then they never materialise.

Please, do not wait and hope that the end of the rainbow will come to you, because it never does. Whatever it is one is looking or hoping for needs to be sought. When the funds are available and the people responsible for spending those same funds build up the intestinal fortitude to do just that, then and only then will things change.

Get on with life, enjoy what you have or go and find what you seek.

Here endeth the lesson.

Good luck.

RBA ought to step up their game -
Airasia reportedly starting BWN - Kuching and BWN- K.Kinabalu

Batavia starting Pontianak - BWN also.

Tiger wanting to start services to Singapore ASAP.
Exciting stuff for Brunei's tourist industry and the airport

Also a weekly Asiana service from ICN for the duration of this month using 321s

Competition stimulates growth or death.

RBA will up their game, and from the looks of it, it's a good thing for Brunei in general to have such a range of airlines flying to and from the airport!

I'm tired of looking at only RBA fleets in our INTERNATIONAL airport!

A Cynical message ....

4 S - That light hearted piece of humour is just that; and in no way was intended for publication on this forum. As a direct request he asks that you remove it immediately - I for one hope you haven't put an end to his appreciated comical takes on life we all so enjoy.
Pls - remove your posting.

What's this about not flying through thunderstorms.... that's the best bit!!!

By the way, SYD services cancelled from 01 Jun although the company says suspended.... DPS to be announced along with SYD this week and SGN to follow soon after....

Four stations in one announcement would be a bit heavy hitting...

And now we hear the 777 aircraft have been sold to Russia!!!!!
