Are they planning to use DC-10's or 767's for their long haul ops? (Or another type altogether?)

I hope they manage to keep their profile and reputation high by using new equipment, and not lapsing into the hangar mode with old planes.

Boeing 777s.

From website:

Cabin crew with flyglobespan - longhaul and shorthaul
We are widening our horizons and from summer 2006 we're heading over the Atlantic. So we need you to come and help us look after our customers in all three cabins of our newly acquired Boeing 767s. We are looking for long haul experienced in-flight managers, cabin supervisors, main crew and people new to the job.

We need you to be, at the very least, 21 years of age. We're particularly enthusiastic about people who have considerable experience of life and hard work and so can deal with all types of people in all situations. If you haven't yet experienced the joys and challenges of working as cabin crew this could be the chance of your lifetime.

You will be smilingly mature in outlook, extremely presentable in uniform and very fit - flying can take its toll. It's not a difficult job but it is very demanding - on you and your life style.

You will have the patience and urgency that comes with experience of customer service delivery to a high standard. Then, together with the great in-flight product we'll be offering, you'll be able to knock the flight-socks off our customers over the Pond next summer. Or perhaps dashing around the skies of Europe is your forte - where impressing our valued clientele on our young fleet of 737s is equally important but you've less time to do it.

If you join us you will need full access to the web and e-mail for our communications channels (we already accept only the downloadable e-application form for recruitment) and be telephone contactable

Rumour has it that Transat (travel group based in Canada) will announce shortly that it is acquiring Globespan. Management have been telling Air Transat employees that an acquisition by the Group is going to result in the doubling of Transat Group UK - Canada traffic next summer and that Globespan is the candidate. Transat typically purchases a large percentage of an operation with options to attain the remaining shares after a test period (usually about 1-2 years). As long as Globespan employees are flexible and able to go along with Transat Group business ideas then you people are probably in for a big expansion. Transat is looking to expand into the U.S. with more services and you may find yourselves being the European vehicle for the job. They tried this with Star Airlines in France but it didn't work out and they sold off Star last year. Fussy Star employees and complex labour laws in France put the screws to the deal.

Er, where did you hear that rubbish? Globespan is not a public company - it's owned by Tom Dalrymple, not by shareholders and certainly not by the employees! Globespan have a contract with Air Transat to ferry hundreds of people into Canada every week. They might love to get a slice of the action and yes, if they made Mr Dalrymple a good enough offer, who knows. But as to buying a large stake and pouncing later......sorry, that's cr@p.

Nothing personal.

No offense taken. I am just passing forth what is a strong rumour. I believe this is a rumour and news forum.
I didn't mean to suggest that the employees are shareholders. My comments about employee flexibility was in reference to Transats disappointing experience with Star and their people and that if Globespan employees are able to go along with Transat changes and methods (if they acquire Globespan) then good things will probably come to them.
By the way - Everything is for sale. Transat group is cash rich and is being pressured by a holder of a large block of shares to either pay back some $$ to the shareholders or do something with it.
There is an acquisition being worked on. I personally thought that they were going to go for something a bit bigger than Globespan....so wait and see.

[SandLat650]

Well, every man has his price; I'm sure if they made him the right offer he might be tempted. But then again it's his baby and he's on a bit of a roll at the moment.

Whatever happens, the employees will be the last to hear!!!

Too true! Also not entirely out of the question if Transat make him a good enough offer.

However things seem to be running well so why would Globespan want to sell out?

[THOMAS DUCK]

Not sure if this is related and I would hate to burst anybodys bubble!
I spoke to one of the agencies today and they are looking for 757 f/o's with ETOPS experience to be based at Glasgow from next March....coincidence?
OMG just realised, maybe I am just about to apply for my own job!!! (see Thomas Cook thread re contract pilots on temporaries))

[The Grim Reaper]

A little bird told me that Mr D has been discussing selling 49% of the Globespan group (not including the airline bit) to Transat.
This will give him some capital to put into growth of the airline and give Transat access to the european market.

Sticking point is that Transat want to have a clause preventing flyglobespan from competing on the Canadian routes.

Just a hearsay, of course :ok:
