RF used to be the CASA dude in our district. Without doubt one of the good guys in that 'wonderful' organisation.

I ran into Ray the other day and he is still very much in the flying trade both international and domestic. Now as for this big anouncment, there was one made the other day but it was far from big..... Re-locating the check-in to the check-in desk next to the jetstar check-in. And SunX got BOOTed from the sunstate/comuter apprion and will as of June 18 they will be loading from gate 26-30 along side ****** and Jet*. Now there's a good rumour ****** are joining forces with SunX.
I herd the other day that the CP is jumping ship "again". Has a start date with big brother company Alliance. Who will be taking the place of RH?
Is his move a sign of things to see in the future. Will all crew have the oppertunity to move over to the F100?
Good luck to all

Hi Ppruners
First post in this forum. I have been following this thread with some interest as a mate's son is interested in applying for Sunshine.
The original thread dealt with possible fleet expansion/upgrade and has since done a side step from that topic.
Just interested to know what the latest word regarding the fleet expansion/upgrade was. Is it more Metros, or new aircraft and what type?
Best Rate, interested to know more about that rumour of sunshine joining with another carrier that operates from gates 26-30 at Brisbane. When I was up there in January, there were various carriers using those gates - Alliance, ******, Qantas and there was also 2 Corporate Air Metros there. Who was your rumour pointing to?

Well Birds eye view,
If you mates son has a CPL and a Metro endorsement they''l take him. The company says they want 500 multi command but there a few guys in there with some where between Zero and 100 multi. So the requirments are to have a metro endorsement or be mates with the General Manager, then you'll go places and even get dispensation for a command with less than 100 multi command...

Hey Full Noise, you should read your previous posts before you post new replies or threads.
You started this thred on the 7th of April and asked the following questions;
What happened to the fleet replacement program that everyone was on anout a few months ago? Is this there new fleet? and here to stay? How's there on time performance going? are the pax happy?
Does anyone know if they are looking for drivers to crew this new machine?
Are they looking at taking on more new routes?
Then on the 14th of April you come back with this reply;
If that wasn't a motivational speech from a member of the management team I don't know what it was!!
It seems to me that the only people that have any confidence in the company is the management. What do you know, that the employees’ don't?? Wouldn't it be a good idea inform the whole company so that everyone can get on with what they are been paid to do instead of worrying about there future with the company?
And then looking further back at your history we find these:
Hello Juliets*jet,
You too will be missed by all. Have fun and I hope the pastures are greener on the other side..
Which was posted on another thread regarding SEA, there is only a few current Metro pilots with SEA who were on the Shorts at the time and flew with Juliets*jet and post/read pprune and I’m one of them.
You seem a little confused
, in one post you don’t work for the airline but in others you do.
And then there is this post re Air Nauru:
Mate it seems that it is true,
All tho the boys are hoping to get there hands on a QF 737 to get them threw untill the air line can buy back RON
So we know you talk to the SEA pilot who joined Air Nauru last year.
And then there are the following about post regarding QF recruiting;
Dose anyone know about an A330 gound school starting May for S.O's?
Or when the next lot of training will start?
Has anyone got a start date lately?
First ground schools running in july/june
Has anyone herd what recuitment is doing at the moment?
Seems that it was a bit slow in 2005.
Just saw up on the board that they have slots or intend on putting on 300 S.O's over the next 3 years..
Well fingers crossed all goes ahead
Hey guys,
Does anyone know when QF is running there next A330 or B747 ground school for new S.O's? I have herd not till around sep/oct. Is this true?
Thanks guys........
So looking at all of the above posts it took me less than 2 minutes to work out who your are and I’m sure if the GM that you are having a go at, plus his friend who is one of the guys who doesn’t have the 500 multi have a read they will work out who you are
You are not in that jet job yet!
The GM is the one who is pushing to have the progression across to Alliance for the SEA pilots. There are not many companies that don’t charge for endorsement these days, SEA and Alliance are two companies that don’t. So it could be possible for someone to join SEA from GA, spend 2 years (current bond) with them and then move across to Alliance (get their first jet job) and not spend one cent of their own money!
No back on topic,
I’m not going to post anything that is confidential here. All I can say is a total fleet replacement is still on the cards. New routes are always a possibility.
With regard to moving from the Sunstate area, SEA were not booted, all staff were told last year QF had increased the fees to SEA by over 100% and the company would review their arrangement with QF in the new year. Well the company reviewed their arrangement and decided to move from the Sunstate area. Also with the Q400’s coming on line the number of parking bays in that area have been reduced by 3 and the company was getting sick of having the Metro’s parked on 1A etc.
