Origin Ground Courses?

[A4 gunnie]

Any rumours on dates for the next 31 and 41 ground courses now that the Air Nelson annoucment has been made?

[Split Flap]

More to the point, will anybody bother showwing up if thats whats on offer 1 door down.

But to answer your question there is a hiring freeze on, and thats from the horses mouth.

[A4 gunnie]

Great, just when things were looking a little bit positive for us lower time guys. Bugga:mad:

[Cloud Cutter]

A4

I wouldn't worrie too much;)

Things are still happening, what sort of time ya got?

[A4 gunnie]

Ive got 1100 Total 270 multi

[Split Flap]

Wouldn't worry too much there cuz, I think next year will be a good year for everyone hiring wise. :ok: :ok: :ok:

[BattleSTARGalatica]

a very reliable source told me that they will be lucky to make it through next year the way things are going.... anyone care to clarify?

[cubnut]

A4, 270 hours multi in NZ low time? Surely you have an interview at least coming up somewhere?

Cub.

[A4 gunnie]

I wish! The phone hasn't even rung once
:(

[flyingkiwi]

Keep updating some of us in years gone by had to wait till 1700TT 900multi

[A4 gunnie]

Will do, I know there are guys aroound the country getting the call with similar hours, hopefully its not to far away.

The good old "reliable source" going by these "reliable" source's i should have been unemployed at least 4 times by now. But im not worried, Aunty Helen will prop the place up like nextdoor, may'be buy origin some new aircraft too?
The thing people forget about Origin is that it is'nt just a passenger airline. It runs a :mad:load of freight and a similar amount of charters.

A4 - All course's are on hold but keep updating because WHEN it happens it will happen fast.

[A4 gunnie]

Thanks ZK-NSN, will do that. Fast is good :ok:

[flying ginge]

I like it when you read about an airline's marketing mgr and he's pictured with 2 naked beauties on a motorbike (see todays Press p.B7). Does this guy know how to party or what??:D :D :D

[GAYouth111]

Latest 'Rumours' have it that Origin can no longer afford to pay for type-ratings.

They are having to employ people from Air National who are already rated on the J32's.

There may be no truth to this but... rumours usually have to start somewhere.

[Split Flap]

Origin will take what they can get in todays employment climate. Not one external person started of the 41 ground course.
Anybody coming here needs their head read.

[Sqwark2004]

It's Offical, the next ground course for the 31's is on the 6 Dec.

Goodluck with the calls everyone.

[ZK-NSN]

Split flap - The fact they fly already means they've got at least 1 screw loose. :}

[flying ginge]

has anybody been called yet?

[A4 gunnie]

I believe that some calls have been made, but dont panic I think there are still more to be made.

[Bombay]

With regard to the calls going out, get Caller ID. That way when the phone rings, you can see if it has a Koru on the number. If not, don't answer the phone.

[ZK-NSN]

Gayouth- That would have to rate as probably the funniest rumour i've heard in the many anti-origin rumour mill.

[flying ginge]

is it GAY-outh or GA-youth? Anyway ZK-NSN that rumour the gay one mooted was spot on. Whether or not anybody from Air Nat takes up the offer is yet to be seen.

[Split Flap]

Bombay,

Kia ora, you old Koru you.

[Bombay]

Split Flap,

Not even aou! Choice.

[ZK-NSN]

If they cant afford type ratings then why/how are there 2 f/o's doing J41 ratings at the moment? Makes sense to employ people already rated and with type experience, the bonus is obvious but i doubt it comes down to the lack of cash.
