Skippers pays - late yet again. What is going on?

BrazDriver 19th Mar 2008 02:25

Perhaps a new thread should be started titled "The Death Of Skippers"??

SSUPPDAWG 19th Mar 2008 07:49

"10 Years or more " :confused:

Whats been 10 years:confused:

Because pays late why is skippers going bust????

Considering owner is multi millionaire with about 4 other companies as big as skippers "aviation "

Shed Dog Tosser 19th Mar 2008 11:15

Why is anyone suprised ?.

Multi Millionaires generally do not have a whole pay roll sitting in the bank, one fortnight pay would be what 400K, no one has that money sitting in the bank.

If there is a cash flow problem, historically speaking pays are late due to a huge array of lame excuses, did the pay lady have another baby per chance ?(better the pays go in late than allowing the Westpac to reposses a Dash8).

Considering this whole topic (the last 427 posts and 80,000 odd views) suggests the company is drastically short of flight crew, aircraft utilisation could be low right, what if so low the ingoings are less that the outgoings ?, many made men have been un-made by this simple math.

Women and children first.

Guys

Just because some rich guy "owns" a "pty ltd" company don;t expect him to tip in some of his own cash when it's going under ...... that's NOT the way the rich stay that way .......

BrazDriver 19th Mar 2008 11:29

Dog, You also forget the amount of work Skippers bleeds to X-hires, another great way to keep money in someone else's bank!

Shed Dog Tosser 27th Mar 2008 04:23

Word has it ( Hi Veetail ) eight more Captains had interviews at another blue tail operator, five of whom on the death pencil, did not realise they had that many Metro Captains :ooh:.

Mecarsa Bitrusty 27th Mar 2008 10:42

I just happen to be talking to a mate the other day who works for this mob (not a Pilot) and he reckons that Braz FO’s are on a higher pay scale than Dash FO’s and Metro FO’s are still well and truly on the centerlink pay scale! What the hell is with that? And no one is really sure what the captains are on, line, supervisory, check it doesn’t seem to make any difference these days. Is this business being running by professionals or just a bunch of try hard yes men and women!!!!!!

It’s time that SQ woke up and smelt the burnt jet fuel, or soon to be lack off, because this next mass exodus may be the last that this little privately owned company can handle!
NO PILOTS = NO COMPANY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hear there is a free cab ride from any flying school at Jandakot to the Skippers terminal for anyone with a CPL, CIR and 40G :}

Towering Q 30th Mar 2008 00:45

Hey, that's not cheap you know...$48 last time I did it. Things are looking up at Skippers.:D

Do they pay for you to get back or is there no need?

Green gorilla 30th Mar 2008 01:09
