A/F Armed

Well its confirmed. M*A*C*A*I*R Airlines are pulling the plug on the NSW operations. They went from 5 runs to 2 runs in the space of a few months and now management have obviously decided that its all too hard. The crew were all notified last night and told that it's all over in 4 weeks. Sad really to see another failed operation. Guess Rex will jump in there and do it. In fact they should be able to make a killing on it!!!! All the crew have been offered positions interstate. See ya guys.

Very sad. Does that mean we can type m a c a i r in a post now without this happening? ******.
Why is their named blocked anyway?
Clearly the NAS savings have come too late to save this airline. A pity, if they could have hung in a little longer John & Martha assured us that GA will be reinvigorated. They must know what they are talking about because they are from the USA, I'm sure you will agree.:rolleyes:
Part Two
They had better update their website then as I just searched for August flights and they were still available.

Sorry to hijack but this got me thinking. How is Brindabella doing with their Newcastle service these days? Could they maybe take up the local MA slack when the aircraft is up there?

Yes, wasn't it to be with those "(date) Bandits", advertised for crew in the Australian some weeks back?

The word is, no mun no fun for Aeroduck. Access to capital is proving difficult. Understandable when you consider the previous byzantine existance.
My best guess though is that where there is a will there is a way.

Brindabella are doing very well on NTL thank you very much. But if you see how much they charge (and how much defence are happy to pay) you can see why. Loads on the metro are quite healthy too. Not so sure about their Albury run though.

Can confirm another kill on the old pulse runs :( .......
We have a good bunch of team-players and we'll get through this situation positively.
Once again, thanks go to everyone for their support :ok:

just out of curiousity - what happens to the slots they had at KSA? Up for the highest regional bidder?

Room for Big Sky Airlines to move into maybe...?

I for one really didn't think it would take this long for them to realise they aren't up to LCRPT operations. Having seen first hand their headquaters & operational control I'm surprised they know how to make a cuppa ! I feel for all those who stuck around after HZ. For all those with M23 or M3 endorsements please make sure staff cv is up to date - REX is on the move.
ZL BOY
Any talk of Rex looking at these runs?
Sounds like things are really starting to happen at Rex .. regular monthly profits and route expansion - ARM coming on line in Sep
Good luck to you all

Hamo,
Nice to hear your from the fold. REX will look at these runs but it will be done on the basis on council involvement: ie no head tax etc etc. Right now the focus is on ARM and consolidation across the network. Interesting to note that I'm told the last CASA audit only producesd 1 RCA from CASA - the AOC has been renewed for 3 years !!! If true this is quite an achievement !!! From what I'm told they were audited by the new and improved BB audit team.
