"Is the Crew going to be blamed re 738?"

Geeup, please elaborate?

Mangi Fokker refer previous posts by olderairhead & TBL warrior.

There will be no blame for that. Just another TANGFU. I could tell you a dozen stories about those kind of incidents in ANG. It really is ops normal these days. If the place wasn’t funded by the government (aka the Australian tax payer) it would have closed down years ago.

I was sent this little Gem a couple of days back.

902 posts summarised in one you tube. Brilliant!

22 Fokker sectors un-crewed today. Ops normal.

Think of the savings on the fuel bill.....

As Mr. Grace would say. "You've all done very well" Congrats Too Far , Simple Simon and the HR Manager of the year Mr Rei L. A job well done.

He's been quiet recently...been 6' under for many years...

Just like PX should be.

While we wait for the Court decision thought I might pass on some of the latest from the land of wonder.

Another Fokker Captain resigned yesterday.

Been told latest recruitment drive is from Tonga, can't get drivers from any where else.

Between the 15th and 20th of January only 63 flights were cancelled due to no crew available.

The Cairns flight is now being done by the 737 fleet because there is no Fokker crew to cover the flights even tho there is barely enough pax to even warrant a Fokker let alone a 737.

Board is being told there is no crewing problem.

In the meantime Airlines of PNG are actively recruiting from Poxie thanks to the efforts of a recently employed ex Poxie Fokker Capt.

Oh and did I mention the disgruntled Fokker guys who are not being offered tours yet others are because their work permits are about to expire and they are required to sign the 2017 contract? Sign and you get tours, don't sign and you are terminated. So they are signing with a lawyer written rider which Poxie is accepting..... but those not being offered tours are very angry against those who have signed which is resulting in a very uncomfortable working environment. Catch 22!

That should be enough for tonight!

75? Really! And they make a sh!thole sound like paradise. 🤣

Must be finding it hard to recruit, wonder why?

Informed that 3 Captains are on the move plus 2 F/O's. An Ozzie operator will be getting some very good operators.

Funny, I heard 4 Capts.

I have been told that another one was not successful and is making noises of maybe leaving but nothing confirmed.

All Fokker Captains going, not Dash. They only have 18, no 17 or is it 16 left. Can't keep up with the departures!

By all reports fatigue levels are at a record high.

Olderairhead dear boy, I think what Tabubil Warrior is trying to convey is that Poxie is so desperate, so desperate that they will employ PNG Air Dash commanders as DECs on the Fokker fleet.

Combined with your point that we appear to now have a new cut off age of 75, this rumour of Dash captains being offered Fokker commands with no jet experience whatsoever leads me to believe that PX management are actually going out and buying the Emmental themselves.......long long manmeri!

I like your post Loud Handle. For those who don’t know Emmental is a kind of Swiss Cheese. Hahahahaha

Poxie have just announced that from 7th April to 25th April they are cancelling the Tuesday afternoon flight, all flights Wednesday and the Thursday morning flights POM - CNS - POM due to Low Season demand!!

Is it just a coincidence that it coincides with the B767 C check?

B767 unavailable, B737 picks up the B767 work, F100 picks up B737 work......ooops, got plenty of F100 airframes but nopela F100 Pilots..,,,so just cancel POM CNS POM....and hope nobody works out the real reason. :\

Going to help guys wanting to go home for days off...not!

TANGFU
