RUP is not as full of crap as it appears. Go to the Timor Air website and with your Visa card, right now, you can book and pay for a flight to Christmas or Cocos from early April.
Yesterday you could have done the same thing on the SAW website.
Timor Air does not have an AOC and certainly does not have any traffic rights to those islands. SAW has ceased flying operations. Have the postholders flown the coop, or what?
FRAUD ALERT as well as a clear contravention of CAR 210 and a few other CARs and CAOs to do with postholders, facilities etc.

Timor Air
Was that the plan all along, note the 190's never had S*W painted on them. It probably won't be a problem to just let Timor Air have the routes as the people advising DJC have no idea of how an airline runs legally, just look at C&S£ audit and non payment of super.
"It'll be alright just do it".
Noticed how many people actually stayed with S&W talk about top heavy with puppets. Looks like Mr Burns team of advisers (simpsons).
If this lot get away with stealing my money I shall be most pevved.

National Jet must be laughing.
Once upon a time it used to be GA and piston aircraft, then it was the NSCA and tubines and helicopters, now the sharks have moved up to jets!

So much for S*W promises about paying us in installments. I have looked this moring on my account and it has no monies from S*W and looks a little like Mrs Hubbards cupboard.
I am having problems restraining myself from writing some particularly aggressive thoughts and then having the moderator do his thing, but I shall.
To deceive us all by telling us we would get payed is beyond most peoples principles and morals but obviously not the shysters and cheats who populate the higher echelons of S*W.

Hooker, don't get mad, get even. As long as you stick to the FACTS, you can run interference on their little dreams and schemes. There are various government departments such as ASIC, ATO, the Employment Ombudsman, CASA plus potential clients where you can send reports. Even naming names or job titles, provided you have proof or reasonable suspicion of corporate misconduct. Just be careful how you word stuff. The words 'may', 'possibly' and 'probably' are often sufficient to ring alarm bells where you want them rung, while making it very difficult for anyone to sue for libel or defamation. With money matters be reasonably accurate: e.g. "these guys currently owe me $5300 in superannuation, $2250 in unpaid leave, $2700 in unpaid wages for work performed up to (xxxx date etc) and MAY owe similar amounts to xxx number of other employees". Ensure that you keep a paper trail going of any emails, letters, faxes etc received or sent and run a diary of any telephone calls made.
If enough people take the time and effort, while you may never see any more money, at least they won't be making any more money at other people's expense.

The Cocos & Christmas Is operation was put up for tender again yesterday so SAW may well be out of the game.
Also the RJ used by NJS is due to return to Adelaide for 'C' check and lease return. It will be interesting to see what happens on the 3 April

I wouldn't be too concerned with the short term problem SAW have caused with Xmas Island.
From what I hear there may be a surprising competitor for the Xmas Island work at least to assist in the short term.

Word on the street at LM yesterday was SAW were in liquidation, however i havent seen or heard anything more on this yet.... 
The Islanders are still of the belief that SAW are commencing operations next month. Management have been up that way recently answering question and allaying fears.

Just now I went on the SAW website and booked a flight to Cocos. It came up with a schedule and a fare. Then I took a very nice piccy of it all displayed on my computer screen, with time and date.
No, OF COURSE I didn't pay for it - sometimes I get a bit silly on the old red, but never totally retarded. But therein lies proof that they were still trading as SkyAirWorld at close of business today.
So, theoretically, at close of business today they had enough to pay staff entitlements. Otherwise it could be soap-on-a-rope for a certain CEO.

I can't find this "New Tender" document! Where did you see this?
With the plentiful, and growing, supply of unused aircraft on the ground in Perth and other places, surely this would be a much sought after document.

asic
I agree, asic will surely have to get involved where retrenched workers have not been paid salary, redundancy, overtime, etc. and the pty.ltd registered entity is still trading.
They (asic) must have a stance/opinion/directive to offer. Im sure the ATO will prick their ears when they work out 100 odd people wont be paying their collective taxes on payouts they didnt get as well, unless they can find some nurses or coffins!

The Christmas / Cocos RFT isn't up for grabs again. At the time of writing SAW are still programmed to commence flights on the first Friday in April 2009. How long they last.....well that's another question.
I can't believe in this day and age that staff entitlements legally owed can be withheld whilst the company continues to trade.
In the case of Christmas / Cocos Island a new service can be commenced with all the associated mobilisation costs, however a staff member through no fault of their own has to work out how they will make the mortgage repayments and feed themselves whilst waiting to see when they will receive their outstanding monies. Are those in senior management responsible for this mess still driving around in nice cars and living in expensive houses?
