Whose T & C's - Our Airlines or John Hollands???????????????

From the word I'm privvy to, OA is consolidating nicely - probably as a result of the underpinning of substantial and about-to-commence Norfolk contract. Picking up plenty of ad-hoc charters and resulting in many satisfied customers. Seems they are more than capable as an operation with their "can-do" mentality but still make it profitable, unlike Ooze or Scary.

Mehinks they are going to be around for the long haul - again unlike Ooze or Scary!!!!!!!!

feenix, nice to have a spare but I would think that sitting overtime in a hangar would not help too much with the lease payments.

Considering that in all likelyhood INU would have picked up work if JHAS had of got it out in a more realistic time frame....unlesss you got a discounted price for the time delay......mmm yep right .

Not really as crew training and other limitations mean there would be no real advantage. I don't think any work has been lost as unlike other carriers they utilise their equipment to maximum advantage. T's and C's very nice and thanks for asking but it is more the good group of people you work with that matters

Our Airline is a carrier I have used, and wish to support but they are steadily running out of network

We carry the ON plate to issue tickets on their services, but there are precious few that are relevant.

I hope they get back to a position where we can sell them into the Marshalls again ex BNE.

Best all

witwiw

had a chuckle about your choice of nicknames for the other airlines, how about this one......Our Repo!!!

Perhaps you could have kept it nice, new thread and all...however only takes one to drag the conversation down.

Power to those THAT START slagging I suppose.

Sally,

Not my choice of names, they've been around for a while now so I can't take any credit.

Can't quite follow your logic, though, with your reference to "Our Repo". You seem to be one of the many who can't, or won't, differentiate between the former Air Nauru and the current Our Airline. They are simply worlds apart and the deficiencies of the former have no relevance to the current operator. It is a TOTALLY different operation unrelated to the excesses of the past.

"kept it nice" - what on earth are you drivelling on about? Refer to my opening first words of the previous paragraph ...........

Did the Naurian Government actually wake up to the fact, that they can't take an airline for granted?

Do you think that RON may bring back the ML-BN route?

Question to Our Airline and Norfolk Air...WHY is the salary on offer to the current Norfolk Air Flight Attendants around $10 000 a year LESS to work for Our Airline than presenly get from Ozjet.

Any other bad things someone wants to tell before the change over!!

It might help clarify things if it was known who is paying these salaries - is it Our Airline? Are the Flight Attendants actually going to be Our Airline employees? If the salaries of Our Airline cabin crew is any indication then the Norfolk cabin crew might be glad it isn't the airline that is responsible for their salaries. Are there any trade-offs or other benefits offered that might soften the pay reduction? Info such as this helps people get the full picture rather than otherwise .......................
