Exodus from Skippers (Merged)
Word is that he finished up on Friday. can any Skippy confirm this? Have they advertised for a new "used car salesman" to run the place or are they looking for a low time Baron driver to take the reins?
Can anybody now working at Skippers please give me some information about the current state of the company, available positions, current salaries, if AWA's still required by new hires etc. Will they individually negotiate salaries and T & C etc without an AWA, but a letter of employment instead??
Any info on the recruitment process would also be great.
Please PM me if you dont want to post on forum.
Thank you, any helpful replies much appreciated.
Happy and Safe New Year to all.

A very good friend noticed a number of Skippers Pilots loitering around the domestic terminal over the past couple of weeks, suits and ties, a very well dressed mob indeed.
Makes you wonder what that is all about ?.

They have finally realised that for those who may move there for the job and then have their training delayed might struggle financially, only took em how many years to figure it out? A mate of mine was there a while ago they told him they needed him straight away so he moved his ass over there only to get there and have all there training delayed. He had to work on the ramp for a few months to make money.......that is a disgrace. Bout time they began to get their act together and pay everyone a salary.

Yeah, but what is that salary?
Another thread (CASair for sale) mentioned that Skippers is looking to retire their Metro fleet. Not sure if it's the reality but it's not worth the risk if you are made redundant in 3 months....

F/O Salary
Not too sure on what the salaries are for the F/O's. I think the Metro F/O salary is around the 32-35 mark, but can't be sure.
They are looking to retire those Metros, yes. There was a prospective buyer looking at HWR and WAX over the weekend, apparently.
Anyone know who the prospective buyer(s) is/are?
520.

Making way for additional Dash 8-300's.
Metro's will be disposed off and everything pushed into the Braz's
Although there is thought that the Braz's may go and be replaced with Dash 8-100's / -200's
Makes sense Dash 8 fleet with just the conquest's as corporate

Right on Skystar. 5 years ago most pilots outside the majors would have sucked ...k to get a gig in a Dash 8. Now the turkeys all reckon they have a God given right to a wunderjet window seat fresh out of school. Tools, indeed.
