Rudder,

You are right... i also have alot of friends involved in this op and hope they don't have to go thru a company failure. Unfortunately the BNE-MEL flights are a massive mistake. As is always the case when a company fails the big boys walk away not too bad off and the rest get screwed.

AtlasJet looked a little lost the other day, cut us off and went into the wrong bay! About on par with AirAsia!

jet_m How nice to have somebody from AA management join the discussion. May I suggest that "Pax loads are 120-140 on every flight" is a complete and utter lie.

Now I remind you that the rest of your issues are because your PR machine has no idea. The issue with Flight Centre was real and of your own doing. The bad PR you created on Facebook and other public media is because you deliberately deleted people with feedback you didn't like. Be far more honest and forthcoming with fact and truth. ie. Dont lie that you have your own flight crew on Turkish wet leased a/c to pax and maybe they wont hate you.

Dont pretend that the BNE-MEL is a huge success. 2 weeks over the peak holiday season does not in any way equal making profits.

Respect the travelling public with honesty and integrity and they may well support the new kid on the block. Piss them off with "twists of the truth" and they will hate you with spite. For the sake of everybody I hope you survive.

What is going on with the Atlas 330 operating for them?
Answer from Air Australia:

the aircraft current operated by Atlasjet on our behalf is actually our third A330. Our second A330 is currently undergoing maintenance to be delivered to Air Australia February 15. Once this aircraft is delivered the Atlasjet aircraft will go into maintenance to be delivered to Air Australia mid May. Both aircraft have been leased from ILFC.

So "rudder" if you couldn't care less how they go, why do you spend every waking hour (along with A1), dumping your bile and negativity for all to see?

You actions don't support your purported attitude. You really got to wonder don't you?

Some of you are justing praying that they will fail, some others are just pure **** stirrers and a few of you know the truth.
The loads are very good ( and that is from the horses mouth, not conjecture) and with a little luck it will continue for them.
This is supposed to be forum populated by some bright and capable people but from some of the crap written I sense that many fall well outside of these parameters.

Indeed if you look at the thread the naysayers were wrong about the deal with ilfc. I am sure they are wrong about many things, but making up for ones own faliures in life is quickly band aided by a 'they'll never make it' post on pprune!

Any comments on evilC's decision to leave? Did his reading of the writing on the wall have anything to do with it?

I for one hope Air Australia keeps going and grows.

It's a shame here in Oz, so many people like to see someone who gets off their butt and has a go at something fail. This is so different to the US where people will try out a new businiss, no matter what it is and let it succeed or fail on its merits.

So instead of bitching about how blogs doesnt have the right to have a new business, lets get out, try that new shop, resteraunt, airline etc etc. Encourage friends and family to try it.

For too long we in Oz have sat back and said how good are we, and how good we have it,but the reality is we are falling behind the rest of the world at an ever increasing pace.

You never know, we just may be able to keep a few jobs in this country.

Unfortunately they have a very aged A320 fleet.......20 year old machines.

Compared to the issues Skywest have had with their A320 which is a year newer at 19 years old, they are not doing too bad....yet.

AA are getting a hiding on their social networking page about the Turkish A330.
