Elequont DH 8 Driver.

Also the management speak lies and drivel espoused by the righteous King Too Far, Simple Simon and particularly the Blue Lagoon have never been believed by the majority. So what's changed?

And worse!

Production of LNG will cease for 2 months due to damage caused by the recent earth quake. Impact upon the Kina will impact upon pilot's salaries.

The majority of PX management are interested in themselves , their slash and burn KPI bonuses and being the bigman. Despite dubious ability and a total lack of business acumen. The balance are washed up expats way beyond retirement ,are useless or stuck on the same gravy train themselves. But more importantly if they do know better they say nothing for fear of being persecuted and losing their jobs. Which they 100% need because they can't get jobs anywhere else and are financially up the creek.

I really feel sorry for the frontline staff who are passionate about the airline , have to deal daily with irrate customers and really try to do their best to keep the wheels turning and forever covering up for managements BS press releases. Where the pilot shortage has been caused by the actions of management resulting in over 50% of the experienced pilot force leaving in the last 3 years.

The crewing shortage is starting to hurt and as reported earlier a new schedule , 125C, has been released.

Poxie issued the following press release. The bold emphasis is mine.

Air Niugini has changed its current flight schedule to improve reliability and ensure convenience for the travelling public.

Effective Sunday 11th March, the multi sector flights on the domestic network will be temporarily suspended and replaced with the introduction of additional direct services.

Chief Executive Officer, Mr Simon Foo said with the traditionally low season and crew limitations, the airline believes the change would help improve schedule reliability.

“As we enter into a traditionally low period and continue to take steps to address crewing issue, we are confident the change in the flight schedule will ensure reliability and consistency with the remaining flights.”

The multi sector flights between Port Moresby/Lae/Hoskins/Rabaul, POM/Madang/Wewak, POM/Lae/Manus/Lae/POM, POM/Madang/Manus/Madang/POM and POM/Kavieng/Manus/Kavieng will be temporarily suspended.

However, Air Niugini has introduced additional direct services to cater for the change in the multi sector flights. There will be additional direct services between Port Moresby and Lae to bring to a total four daily flights. The frequencies of flights to Vanimo via Wewak will be increased to four whilst Vanimo via Madang will be temporarily suspended. Hoskins direct services will be increased to two except for Monday and Friday while schedule for remaining ports is largely unchanged.

On the international sector, the Cairns morning flights on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday will be upgraded to Boeing 737 aircraft instead of Fokker 70/100 while the overnight services on Monday and Thursday are suspended except for Easter, Thursday March 29th and Monday April 02nd.

Latest ad from Poxie for F100 DEC's is for a salary of $148,894 with 4 weeks annual leave. No mention of a tax rate of 48% and no super. Must be no older than 65 at the time of application.

But hang on they just employed a DEC at age 73ish.

Make the rules up as you go especially when you can't employ anyone.

And the top rumour to be delivered from paradise last week is that the saviour from the desert sands will not be returning.

Number one requirement was no guvment interference. Could not be delivered so Sianara.

Oh dear.....

Oh dear.......... For the language perfectionists........ Goodbye, no thanks, cheers, hooroo.... Whatever.

Personally I think the issues they are facing up there are so more important than a word.

Moving on, whisper is they are now looking at someone who used to be associated with the former CEO.

If it is his former understudy that certainly would be very ironic. Would make for some interesting political maneuvering.

olderairhead, No need to get defensive mate, try not to write words phonetically, that's what my grand kids do at 5 and 7 , I assume you are a wee bit older then that eh ?;)

faheel 15th Mar 2018 03:54

I am not a grammar nazi, but when someone ie Pinky does not understand what the word is then spell and write it correctly and there would be no discussion now would there ?:ugh:

I think you are being a little bit disingenuous there Faheel. I think that we all know Pinky understood the intended meaning of the word in question and was perhaps being a little bit disingenuous himself.

Like TBL says......now let’s get this **** show back on the road. Latest I’m hearing is that the chaps’ fortnightly stipends, I mean salaries were delayed again. Not a good sign.

DHC8 Driver 15th Mar 2018 06:43

I think we are losing the plot here lads - come on - back to the big top at the circus!!!!

olderairhead 15th Mar 2018 07:04

I agree total thread drift so to get it back on track.... again:

Just waiting on confirmation that a 737 Capt has pulled the pin.
