Heard a rumour (yes, Pprune is a rumour network) in Eastern Europe that VST is being propped up because Bombardier have deferred/supported their current fleet finance payments in some way to keep them solvent, on the basis that their demise would seriously hurt the manufacturer.

Let's assume it's not true, but for supposition, is it right for a manufacturer to support one of its clients, when presumably it is at the expense of every other commercial operator of the same type?

This is akin to SRB's view that BA should not be helped out of its current woes by third parties, as a bad business should be left to die, to create more opportunities for stronger businesses waiting/struggling in the wings, that may deserve to survive.

As the exam questions say: Discuss...

THAT would be only logical. The Crews pay their ratings and the manufacturers pay the aircraft. Now the businessmodel can really work.

I´m off, founding a new operation with Bombardiers finest products.

V12 - DS of AIP
Hello V12; or shall I call you David?
Yep, I think I will call you David.

David,
Why don't you stop besmirching the reputation of Vista, and concentrate on running your own, listed, air charter brokerage.

If I were the CEO of a listed, Crawley based, broker, then I am sure I would have better things to do with my time than post such things about other businesses.

Lever - Think you might be a bit wide of the mark there, pretty certain that DS didn't make that post.

An instructor has a popular joke, everybody has probably heard it, but in this case it certainly applies:

How do you take a big fortune and turn it into a small fortune?

Start an airline.

So, are they calling back the pilots they told to take a hike? What's the deal?

They did recall some already. However, most of them already have a job somwhere else.

Operations Staff
I am reliably informed that they are also recruiting for ops people in SZG. If you PM me I can give you some contact details. And no I am not working for Vistajet!

Are they hiring non-german speakers now?

Rumour is that all their manuals are in german so they wont hire foreigners.

The Ops Director and Ops Manager are British. Presume they both speak German but it's obviously not stopped their career progression

They are definitely hiring. Some fleets are understaffed. Good luck!

Be aware. Expect salaries way below industry standards and being kept on duty until it suits them.

Good luck.

The Ground* Ops Manager is English (there is no Ops Director position) and "spricht ein bisschen Deutsch", if he ever gets around to getting the Berlitz course out of the cupboard it's been sat in since February he may even "sprechen ein bisschen mehr"

* Edited for official title
