Merged: SAW cancels HIR flights
 

I see that SAW has canx all their Monday,Wednesday,Friday and Sunday flights to Hir and now only operate on Tuesday,Thursday and Saturday. Have they finally got sick of losing money or are they realising the aircraft is not really meant for the route after their latest incident.It just goes to show how incorrect the claims made by certain posters in other posts that they are there for the longhaul and even funnier that they are financially supported by the Solomons government as Solair is finished. Where do these people get this stuff ? Do they just invent it to make their post better or are they just plain gullible.

Haha dork, watch this space - it will be filled with the blue and white.

That's a great idea Bigger aircraft so you can lose even more money. Bring it on !!!!!!!!!!

Whats it to you anyway? Why not just wish people well and hope all prospers?

Is your life that boring you need to have a stab at someone, get a life. You must be too busy running you own highly successful business, you seem to be an expert and in the know.

Anyway, I wish you well and hope you fill the hole that seems to be causing you some personal grief, unbeknownst to you.

:)

...and jump into it and pull the dirt in over you!

Very touchy you SAW people Just stating a fact i.e. how do survive when a 70 to 90 seat aircaft operates a 6+ hour flight with single digit average loads. ANSWER you don't unless you have an endless pit of money to waste.
Wateroff without getting too nasty you dork, unlike your poor unfortunate self I am happy with my lot and you don't need to be an expert to see these operations are not econmoically sustainable.
Finally I wish you as much goodwill as you wish me but would still like to know why the flights were cancelled and why people invent these buls--t stories based on pure fiction

So is there a secret no one wants to share?
 

Which big space is going to be filled with blue and white?

And is the reduced schedule to / from Honiara also a secret. The SAW website has a news item about flying to Cairns dated June but nothing since so I wonder what the big deal is?

Come on guys tell us before we read it in the Cairns Post!

Must be making more money on the CNS-POM services for PX

Why is Pixie cross hiring a SAW 145 to operate the CS - POM - CS route?

I always thought the F 100 had good loads in and out of CS.!!!!

100 seats vs 50 (or minus).

You seem to be such an expert on aircraft types to be used on this sector.

You should suggest what type should be on the run?


Offset

I say again, Why do you care so much?

And you believe stuff posted on pprune..................... :bored: It must be true!!

It always seem to be the same few on here that cant wait to speculate or point out something they see as a negative - shock - horror - doom - gloom.

Speculate on - speculate on, makes for fun.

Told something to do with crewing and a/c out due maintenance for the PX F100

The reason we, or, sorry, I, give a crap, is that SAW are interviewing at the moment, and, god help us if we believe the spin-doctors who tell us its all fine, and rapidly expanding...blah, blah...

See, this is a very important point...I dont want to leave my current position overseas, just to return to a flea-pit!....Sure, I want to return to Oz, but come on, dont piss me around with false and empty promises. The wife will kill me if we return, and this lot goes broke....

This effects my life....its not a pissing-contest about whether they are nice fellows, or really trying hard to make it in a depressed environment...they probably are....but that's not what concerns me right now....I just dont want the smoke and mirror stories。

...and all the info I can get right now, is you blokes letting me know how you see it...fleas and all

Thanks


I want to believe...but this seems like a nightmare I cant be a part of now

...thanks to all you fellas with info

I'd tread warily, Crazy 88. SAW and SAW Crewing may not be marching to the same beat.

Well mate there are ways to go about things, maybe just ask next time, rather than pointing out what you perceive to be a hole in the boat. The industry is hard enough.
Good Luck with your decision.

I too have an interview scheduled with SAW but also have a well paid slot overseas and likewise would want factual up to date info so as to be able to make an informed decision. Oz will always be home but I wouldn't want to bet my families future on a maybe. It seems getting factual info on SAW is like pulling teeth. And yes, before all you would be wanna be experts aim your spouts, I have picked up the phone and asked them personally some indepth questions but received only vague replies.

As posted above, SAW and SAW Crewing maybe telling differing stories.

Casper, what are you going on about? Don't think SAC have a lot to do with it.

The rest - Firstly, SAW is a business. They are not going to share commercially sensitive information with a candidate. They are probably in the process of seeking work, tendering for contracts, etc so even if they did want to share it with you, it would all change by tomorrow.

Which brings me to the second point; they are an aviation start-up. Surely anyone with any experience in the industry would understand that you take a risk by working in aviation, let alone a start-up. You may get greater reward, or it may all fall in a heap. If you want security you're in the wrong business buddy!

I had been told that SAW crewing no longer exists, and to answer all those in depth question, any company that is mainly a contract company in its infancy will not be able to answer those until contracts are settled unlike a mainly RPT pax op. That is just my observation from running a contract company, situations change and you need flexible crew, so its not for everyone.

Nig Not nog

I wouldn't class SAW as a start up anymore......... their old now! they should have found their feet
