Word has it as many as 7 F/O's are pipelining their departure, "Exodus Mach2" (R).(F). will be available in widescreen. Advance screening daily between sunrise and sunset till the end of July, August or maybe it's September..on the corner of Valentine Rd.

Story is about a bunch of guys who thought flying metro's, braz's and dash's would be a rewarding career move, much to their dismay :ugh: they realise it isn't so. An accident becomes increasingly immenant so like their RFDS counterpart one by one they decide to abandon ship. Their final steps along "Breezeway Av" are deceptively captured for inclusion in next months CRM course which has a slight twist, namely a hidden agenda revealing the company's newly adopted crewing policy - First Officers or F/O's as they're commonly refered to are wait for it......so to become Flight Options. An investigator heading a special task force op " Y haven't CASA shut them down yet" stumbles across an unlikely lead whilst shopping on Ebay one evening. Further investigation reveals an increase in production/supply of Skippers Special edition blow up dolls which come complete with 2 bars and coffee holder. More and more it's apparent things are very grim.

A must see; from begining to end this movie (based on real life events) will have you clutching the edge of your seat, you'll laugh and cry all in the same emotion.

Flyon,

I saw the directors cut of episode one, there was so much chest beating, bleached hair and ass grabbing with so few women in the cast, i can only conclude it is some sort of new age gay porn.

bazza stub 24th May 2008 01:25

Ok end of another week who left?? :}

flyon dawall 24th May 2008 02:34

Don't you mean who's left? Those that love there job.

spiderbat3008 24th May 2008 02:59

More Going
 
Apparently AD now also gone to greener pastures as well. Even flighties are suppossedly going due to similar issues as tech crew.

flyon dawall 24th May 2008 05:46

Spiderbait,

Yeah, was speaking to a crew y'day they said simular; sums it up when a man of AD's stature decides it's time.
Really who can blame the girls for thinking the same, seems they're treated with even less respect.

That aside, Skips has kick started a lot of pilots & F/A's careers, some of whom otherwise may not have had the opportunity - works both ways even though it may seem one sided at 5am on a monday morning.

kair1234 24th May 2008 06:37

EMB120ER 24th May 2008 08:18

EMB120ER

Hey maybe they can come work with you at Network? ;)

Skippers Pilot 24th May 2008 10:33

Two senior Dash Captains finished this week, GH & AD, off to RFDS and NJ. One Dash Captain handed in his notice, off to SA, and word in the breeze way is that two Dash FO’s to hand in their notices shortly if not already, destination unknown! With no recruiting currently on this fleet and now just one C&T Captain, things are looking bleak!

spiderbat3008 24th May 2008 11:43

Guess they ll have to train some more FOs into the left or pay big bucks for the rent a Capt.........they seem to be able to afford that all the time I'm told.

bazza stub 25th May 2008 04:54

You mean the ones that are staying :E I have been led to believe that not even the offer of command will keep the current crop of F/Os around.

Stationair8 25th May 2008 05:29

Is Rowan Bachelor still their, he came over from Tamair to be fleet manager on the Metro 23's?

EMB120ER 25th May 2008 05:30

Hi Rusty Car

Sorry not at Network, but have given it some thought lately, also not qualified to fly a braz, just thought that it was a good name!!


Tick tock . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
The Skippers Doomsday clock is ticking!!

Fizzer 25th May 2008 10:59

Rowan lasted about eight months, and that must have been seven years ago.

Shed Dog Tosser 26th May 2008 04:44

Rumour has it the TWU are maneuvering to give this operator a bare bum spanking in Court, apparently severals staff over issues with bond / AWA / CA / harrassment in the workplace.

Very nice !!!!!.

Stationair8 26th May 2008 10:18

Fizzer, thanks for that, sounds like he got out when it Skippers was much better shape.
RIP Skippers.
