Anyone got any contact details for Gold Air's ops manager.
I would suggest that telephoning their advertised number and asking for the Ops Manager might work.

p.s. They have just received their new LJ45.

What is going on at Gold Air, I have just heard that people are haemorrhaging from all areas including ops, sales, pilots etc.

Was considering applying but no one seems to be able to tell me why so many are leaving such a promissing company, am I likely to be going from fat to fire?

Help needed for unsure from Uxbridge.

Maybe if the MD quit, Goldair would be a much better company

Latest money saving scheme is that they won't consider you unless you're type rated. And if you are, my advice would be to speak to some existing employee's which will probably advise you to stay away. Just make sure to do some research.

Crikey I have received a couple of messages via private mail it seems that people in the know are nervous about posting re Gold.

The consensus is to stay away as most of the gang are digging a tunnel out.

Basically overworked, overtired, underpayed and undervalued oh and so it has been written that if tired staff must try not to look it!!

Sadly I think that I might stay in my nice warm Citation for a bit longer, good luck to the escape commitee.

If I needed further convincing two more have resigned this week, is the Gold turning to a horrible greeny brass? What the haggis is going on?

The word is that there are more to follow...poor old Colonel Klink.

How many pilots work at Gold in total (and how many staff in total?) to give us an idea of the impact.

GDA ops will be outsourced soon so WC won't have anyone to shout at except them, so how long will they tolerate his cr@p

Funny, he once told me that he didn't need an office full of ops staff, said one person could run it. Well WC, you might just be right and that one person could be you

Well if Ops are all being "outsourced" and are looking for jobs, Gama's got some...

Bacardi Walla

You must have been in the office at the same time as me on that day..

Or he must still be coming off with that line because i have heard him say it.

He said it on one occasion and we all left GDA very shortly after.

walla It was shortly after my meeting with him that I realised GDA was not really the place to be. I do remember a mass exodus around that time, funny how things go round in cycles at GDA.... or is that circles

I do believe another pilot has resigned this weekend and is off to fly an Airbus, is Gold Air the industry holding pool? Perhaps its worth joining after all!
