As for no ads - saw an ad for Air Australia on Channel 10 in MEL at 2104.
Not flash, not glitzy, not cheap. Just a no-nonsense, informative 30 seconds which I think, if repeated regularly, will get the brand into the heads of the average punters. Go you good thing!! |
Heritage,
I dont know re T & C but they are hiring. As far as I can tell though only looking for Airbus endorsed drivers and their app form requires a list of aircraft flown over 40 tonnes. so I guess that leaves most/all GA drivers out?? Anyone have any info to the contrary?? |
Aussie, I believe that is the case and prob will be until they run out of Airbus and/or jet > 40T applications. Unless of course you used to work for Ansett, but then you wouldn't be GA, but....oh bugger it :ugh:
|
Unless of course you used to work for Ansett, but then you wouldn't be GA, Oh, I wouldn't be so sure ............................... |
The majority they have/are hiring, are mainly Tiger guys considering most are heavily experienced plus have time on the big bus. Alot of the current VC pilot body and management are ex Tiger, so you would want to have a hell of alot of experience to get in if you dont know anyone. Some JQ guys there too.
It worries me that they are only a few weeks away from Hawaii yet the second A330 shows no signs of coming... |
maybe they're missing 1 vital ingredient for the new 330....
|
Thanks, for the info guys, I figured as much.
I cannot even get an interview for a job flying a kite at the moment let alone a jet over 40 tonnes so I will cross them off my list. :( |
Who is in trouble?
Had an interesting email passed on from a Travel Agent regarding the suspension of an airline's insolvency insurance. Doesn't sound good.
#####-#### Travel Advice Announcement: Cover withdrawn - ######### ######## t/a ### ######### Overnight the re-insurer of our Travel Services Provider Insolvency benefit – IPP London, has advised that it is currently conducting a financial review of “######### ######## t/a ### #########” and until their assessment is completed they feel it is prudent to temporarily withdraw cover for this airline. An official advice will be available as soon as possible but seeing you may be booking with this airline today, please inform customers that Options and Travelsure policies will not cover this airline under the Section 1 benefit – Travel Services Provider Insolvency. . |
Not the new air aussie?

Soooooooooo.............................
You pay butt loads for insurance, and the very minute they think you might need it, they cancel it. := Do they offer you a refund for all the insurance they charged you for and never used? What a crock and fraud. |
And if they go under but you'd already bought your insurance before their cover was suspended (28/11, according to that link). Are you covered then?
|
Perhaps the rumour refers to another AA airline which has filed for Chapter 11 protection??
|
'fraid not, VB. I checked on that link first thing to clarify that. Here's the relevant excerpt:-
Airlines currently excluded from cover: * Please note cover excludes any airline where there is a threat of, or has filed or applied for any form of insolvency or insolvency protection at the time of effecting cover or issuance of the air ticket STRATEGIC AIRLINES PTY t/a AIR AUSTRALIA AIRWAYS UNDER FINANCIAL REVIEW - as of 28 November 2011 |
The only thing surprising here is that this is surprising.
|
This May Clear up a few things.
Found this link on Crikey.com
Air Australia acts to overcome insolvency insurance scare | Plane Talking |
I heard a rumor today from a reliable source who is a gentleman and non vindictive individual that the airline in question has enough jam in the jam jar to feed them until the end of February.
|
Of course you'd expect SA to answer as they have in the link in jackthelad's post.
Methinks there's no smoke without fire ......................... |
I think ILFC would do due dilegence before throwing airplanes at them. The a330-200 is in high demand. Or perhaps they missed the experts on this thread :rolleyes:
The claim of profit is interesting, if true a welcome suprise. They have had near 100% loads over the holiday period to bali from what i have heard. Yields would be the concern. The airline has finalised lease agreements with International Lease owFinance Corporation ILFC to take delivery of an initial two Airbus A330-200 aircraft. It will also reposition two of its 180 seat Airbus A320 aircraft from its European charter operation to Australia. The first of the aircraft arrives next month. "Our team at Air Australia is doing an outstanding job and with the strong support of our travel industry partners we are currently tracking ahead of forecast and expect an operating profit this financial year," he said. |
Honolulu services commence in just over a week. The second A330 isnt even in the country yet...nor registered..:eek:
