Haughey Air / Norbrook Legacy
Norbrook are once again advertising in Flight for a Captain for their Legacy.
Lots of turnover it seems.
They were supposed to be based in Carlisle, but the new advert says Newry.
Where is Newry? That's the company headquarters. What airport, Dublin?
Anybody any info on why the apparantly large turnover and the change of aircraft location.
Whats the company like, T & C's?
Ta.

The HQ is Newry Near Belfast.
Haughey Air used to own Carlisle Airport but dont anymore so I am guessing thats why the change in location.
I would hope that the T+C are better than that were offered for the airport employees, low salary, no sick pay, minimal holidays, etc etc etc.
He did have a good team of pilots flying his helicopter so hopefully they and the new crew would be well looked after.

Google Maps.
Google maps show Newry about an hour South of Belfast, about an hour North of Dublin. So they fly out of Belfast.
Anybody got anything else re T&C's, time off etc

The last time this was advertised was for two weeks on in Carlisle/one week off. The aircraft is sometimes parked up at Belfast City but I've never seen it at Aldergrove. There seems to be a highish turnover - take from that what you will.

Not a very nice employer speak to several Ex's if you don't do what the man wants when he wants you get the Alan Suger treatment! ie. YOUR FIRED!
May have something to do with why this job is advertised as often as it is.

Sorry for my ignorance, who is the "fat man".
Aren't all corporate owners demanding or is this one more special?
Not worth it at any price? Is it really that bad?

Falconman,
Believe you are the guy who got sacked from Haughey and went off to fly a Falcon for a short period. How looking for work, I am led to believe.
Life's a breeze.
Take what Falcon says with a pinch of salt. Believe he used to try and divide an conquer whilst at Haughey by telling tales.

No Biz,
You are not correct in any of your "I believes".....
I am the guy who was sacked from Haughey!!
I am still flying my Falcon (and absolutely loving it!).
I was "let go" overnight after refusing to subject my crew and I to a 22 hour 5sector duty day returning through the Chinese and Russian winter night back to the UK. "I will find someone who will do it"......
Not sure about the telling tales, or the devide and conquer bit....sure, I was an ear to the other guys moaning about some of the conditions and duty hours (but what do you expect when you are all living under the same roof, miles from anywhere for two weeks at a time?) and had my say as well.
Why don't you just go for the job rather than dithering around?
Then you can tell us all how great it is........
Good luck,
Jez Cooke.

Hey Falconman.....fancy giving me some help with this Numpty?
This Biz-guy seems to think that you are as good looking as me!!
No seriously Bizpilot (whoever you are), I mean it, if you are seriously interested in the Haugheyair "thing" (apparently you were in May 2006 when I got the job) just do it and good luck to you. I'm not up to any "usual tricks", (whatever that means) I'm just clarifying a few things that I am actually qualified to clarify 'cos I was there ok?
So please stop "snipeing", (it's not very "grown-up"), and do try and move on with your life.

Hardly the language or behaviour of a former Royal Marine officer.
There are others on this thread to whom you have revealed that Falconman and cambioso are one and the same.
And I have no interest in the current Haughey 'thing'.
