The regulators will step in when one of the left over "YES MEN" signs for 4 times the amount of task you could possibly do in a shift and an aircraft has an inflight emergency. Self regulation is an amazing thing.

3 of JHAS' current Line Maintenance customers (foreign operators servicing multiple Aussie ports) have heard the reports of their situation, and to ensure their own operational integrity have requested draft proposals from other providers to handle their MX. If things don't pick up, these operators will probably jump ship anyway.

I'm sure there will be at least one company waiting in the wings to lap up any work that JHAS may potentially lose.
@Torqueman, do you mean redundancies or resignations? would find it hard to believe that they would offer so many redundancies with the work still going on.

They have had a flood of resignations, but they also made a few dozen redundant last night as well.
No doubt operators being serviced by JHAS will be getting contingencies in order.

I can also think of several line maintenance providers who'll be licking their chops at the prospect of picking up some of those contracts, especially the ANZ one, due to the number of transits.

As sea worthy as the Costa Concordia.
R.I.P JHAS.
It's a real shame as it had great potential in the early days. I hope the good guys re-settle quickly after JHAS. And the deadwood? Here's to it floating off to a life of peace and tranquility.

Gives credit to the Just Hangars And Stands acronym posted earlier 
But I doubt the Line Maintenance side will be able to turn a profit once all VA A330 work goes back in-house shortly, all whilst supporting a functional Management structure, QA dept etc. Perhaps it will all be run from JHG HQ?
Will JHG cover the tab just to keep fancy aeroplanes on the front of their Annual Report to shareholders?
All in the spirit of the Rumour Network

At MEL, JHAS provide line maintenance to Air NZ, Vietnam, United, Air Asia X, Shanghai Airlines (I think or might be Sichuan), Royal Brunei. I pretty sure there's a few others, possibly from China, but Cathay Pacific Eng have picked up most of the Chinese carriers I believe.

Haven't NZ been using CX in its Aussie ports for a couple of years now, since they dictheched QF.
SYD/BNE/MCY - self handled
MEL/PER - JHAS
ADL/CNS - Qantas
OOL - AMSA
Rumours about PER and MEL being self handled have been doing the rounds apparently.

There nothing really to stop they sending AKL guys over on FIFO contracts, would make sense for them to offer virgin a full service contract.

So what's the latest at JHAS folks?
Do they have a plan to bow out, or will it die a slow and painful death?
There can't be much time left now. If they don't start negotiating with other operators who need hangars they will never capitalise. Then again, with their track record I imagine they still have their head in the sand. The other operators may as well wait until the dust has settled and pick at the remains like vultures.

Lots and lots of rumors circulating, old ones coming up again and new ones starting the rounds.
As far as I know the line employees are asking questions daily and management are giving nothing out.
So by the end of march everyone should see whats happened.
As to date no french nationals or management have been given the VR or CR yet. In fact a couple french nationals got put on A330 training during the height of VR/CR times end of last year.
I do believe the carpark is still chockers during the day too.....
So same same at JHAS.

Latest rumour I heard was the whole thing's gone within a few months. Base, line, the works. Gone.
How true that is remains to be seen.
Cheers,
John

JHAS GM - just had a word with remaining JHAS employees that NOTHING has still been finalised - ie. If the place is for sale, run with an airline partner, or close down. So at the end of the day - people are still left with so many questions rather than answers. This is gonna be painful..........
