Extreeeeme.
What a classic, first S*W go to the market with a bunch of planes and no contracts, now they are going with a contract and no planes! The task is beyond them, the fact remains that you cant keep a 190 flying with a single contract a few times a week at best, with a few hundred creditors at the door.
They must have had legal advice to shut down the Air Timor bookings or at least heeded the warnings given here earlier re CAR 210 etc. Now, all we need to do is force SAW into 'fessing up that they are insolvent or press the case to have ASIC go for the jugular asap. Unless there is money in my bank overnight, I will get on to that tomorrow. Maybe talk to pollies in Canberra etc as well. Others affected should do the same. If there is enough noise from enough directions ASIC will have to act.
If anyone cares to PM me and I am satisfied that you are a genuine ex-SAW employee and still owed money, I will point you in the direction that will show you the advantage in having them go belly-up sooner rather than later.

Here here ferrett.... What this "company" is doing is absolutely disgusting.... Funny when I rang today that there was no way of getting in contact with anyone from any department to answer my questions of how we are going to pay our rents and mortgages this week.... There must be a way.....any suggestions?

cashed up
your probably right, 100 x $20,000 (average) @ 30% rate wouldnt be worth it for the ATO...... or would it? They have certainly taken a great interest in others in the past with far less to gain, sometimes with nothing to gain, other than their point! Their legal department just love to get involved in making case history to better enforce the next breach. We probably wouldnt be having this discussion if I had the Australian tax payers paying for my legal team.

Casper,
You appear to have introduced the red herring that is a re-tender for Cocos.
What basis do you have?
Please point us in the direction of this knowledge.
If you are right then we will applaud your research.
If not, then the way of rup may you go.

Good point.
Having taken your lead and having had a little delve I think you may wish to focus on the company called 'logistics'.
Interesting reading this one may make as to foreign skies it appears to take.

Are you going to sit around complaining, or take positive action to recover what is owing to you??

If I were amongst the disenchanted and disenfranchised SAW employees, I'm sure by now I would have hounded every one of the above contacts until I got some positive action happening!
The longer you leave it, the less you will ever receive!

Article from: The Australian
THE federal Government remains confident that new air services to the remote Indian Ocean Territories will start as planned.
This is despite a decision by the Brisbane-based airline involved to ground its planes.
SkyAirWorld won the contract to service Christmas and Cocos (Keeling) Islands after incumbent National Jet decided against bidding to renew its contract.
But SkyAirWorld chief executive David Charlton -- who raised eyebrows last week when he said the carrier would "pause flying operations in the short term", claiming the company would ground three of its five aircraft and cut 40 jobs -- said in a memo that the decision to stop flying was the result of "deteriorating economic conditions and ongoing challenges".
He said the airline remained "committed to its customers, staff and suppliers and would work with all parties in the coming weeks as part of the restructuring processes". A spokeswoman for the Attorney-General's Department said SkyAirWorld would start services to the territories on April 3.
"The department has received confirmation from SkyAirWorld management that the contract for provision of air services to the Territories will not be affected by the recently announced restructure," she said.
"SkyAirWorld released their new fares for the IOT Services on February 20. Representatives of SkyAirWorld are currently on the islands talking to travel agents and other interested parties, in preparation for their commencement of services."
National Jet, which held the Indian Ocean contract from 1997, said it did not seek to renew the contract when it went to tender last year. "Following a thorough assessment and analysis of the proposed contract, we determined that it did not satisfy our business model," Cobham Aviation Services chief executive Peter Nottage said.

One thing the Government departments don't do well is admit they made a mistake.
They certianly won't do it publicly but I would think at the moment they are franticly working behind the scenes to have their bases covered when this all goes pear shaped.
And Top End is correct. The Squeeky wheel gets the oil. If you are not getting paid or fobbed of, you need to be squeeling. Don't wait till there is no oil left! As a group you should get together and put a lot of pressure on this organisation and all of his suggestions are valid.

Sky Airworld today signed its final agreement with the government for the acquisition of the Anuha Resort on Ngella.
After two years of negotiation this is a breakthrough for the Airline in terms of its intentions to move into Solomon Islands Tourism Industry.

With all due respect Tail Wheel, don't you think you should just butt out and moderate and not give us your opinion!
Unless, of course, you might like to use another name and be part of the team!!
