I was under the impression that PX had made a decent profit this last Financial Year, thus the new a/c aquisitions, hiring more drivers, rumors of more international runs etc..
What happened? Or was the information reaching us in the far flung regions of the middle kingdom incorrect?

Without being specific,I'm led to believe the pilot's salaries are being reduced to help pay for a luxury item that the airline was forced into aquiring earlier this year.
From what I've been told,those who got offers have been put on a hold file.
Getting anything out of the castle on the hill at the moment is like trying to get blood out of a stone. The boys and girls in the flight decks are starting to throw stones back.
There is a F100 ground school running now,not to sure who's on it apart from a couple of cadets. I have also heard that a Dash 8 ground school will also be starting on the 29th of DEC.
Luxury item ? I think that's an understatement Duck !
Could only happen in PNG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PX have run out of spin and resorted to threats and some rater dispicable practises to cloud over problems and motivate (intimidate) employees.
It is a sorry sight watching this airlines executive branch continually maneuver for the purposes of politics and self absorbed promotion.
I wonder where the board is with current affairs or if they are aware.
Announced large profits are closely accompanied by even larger government handouts; commerce is not the foundation at PX it is something else.

With the current political developments not being too favourable for the Chief and Co, if there is a change in leadership, will the "luxury" item be moved on to another nesting ground? I'm sure the proceeds could be put to better use in other parts of PX.

Latest word is that a heap of LAMEs have/are leaving to go and help set up Travel Air. Word from an insider at PX says that morale is at an all time low,not surprising if anything that's been mentioned in the past here is half true.
Engineers leaving in the droves can't be good for any airline.
There is also a rumour going around that PX are about to cancel all their Dash 8 freighter services,is there any truth in this rumour ?

PX has no shortage of pilots who wants to get . PX is pinching a few from apng one has already done his F-100 ground course and 3 more on the 21st of Mar course, but my fren JC is right morale is a problem everywhere else, theirs guys walking out form CG to PX and PX to Travelair,DJ to EK everyone is on the move to find greener fields and their aint nothing wrong with that.
JC not in the aviation industry that for sure !
Nothing will ever change at ANG until the government get out of it. How many government ran airlines in the world are in good shape ?

If you're happy where you are then THAT IT thats your greener pasture, But if you're not, then do something about it."Greener Pastures" is not going to be the same for everyone,flying for EK for some DJ for some PX,QF,NZ etc..... you just have to find whats suits you ........ em tasol 
ATRs are back on the drawing board, and from what I hear they are pritty serious this time, certainly a good time to get ATRs in this part of the world with Virgin anouncing that they are getting 18 ATR 72s yesterday, I also bet we see Virgin operating them in between CNS and POM as well in time to come..
One Dash 8 200 to be withdrawn by mid year, and all the Dash 8 freighters to be withdrawn as of the middle of April due to Bombardiar withdrawing the cargo config STC due to safety issues (No fault of PX). They will be able to do combies only.
Another Q400 on it's way as well.

No ATRs now, Fokker F50s instead.
The first 2 captains left for sim training today on a pink Dash 8 !!!!! Well the from part of the aeroplane was pink anyway !
More to follow I believe.
