There have been cases in the past, where companies facing bankruptcy have been turned around by new management, even keeping the old employees. Jaguar, Chrysler, Delta (GM subsidiary, not airline) are a couple that I recall...even Apple, when Steve came back and took over again from the "professional managers." Therefore one cannot underestimate the influence of good new management. If new crews come in, the company could be great in a short order.

Of course, the opposite happens as well. Really need both chiefs and Indians. Not to doubt the challenges facing the new guy, but all hope is not lost.

Good luck to him and good luck to the new people coming in!

No no no.......that was not my intention at all. Just wanted to say that a company is not necessarily doomed forever, but that new management coming in, new crews, could together make a disaster into a winner. The crews that left, were the sacrifice that woke senior management up to the need for change, so they played their part as well. I have no connection to TJ (yet?) and I donīt know anyone personally who has worked there. BIG error if that was the understanding.....not intended. :ouch:

Twinjet is advertising for CL604 commanders for London and Bahrain. Are these two separate bases or are you expected to work out of both London and Bahrain during the year?

They have been advertising for Challenger pilots for over 6 months both directly and through just about every agency around. Why do you think they can't fill the vacancies? Why has every Challenger pilot left and 90% of the Legacy crews? :sad:

Make your own mind up :confused:

Hello

What is their ops department like? Ops Manager etc?

I see they are advertising directly and through agencies for Operations Controllers.

Thanks

TWJ Ops
 
Ops Manager - V nice guy.

Ops Dep't - somewhat understaffed at the mo'. Not sure of current workload, but anyone wanting a job with guaranteed overtime should apply now!

FerrypilotDK 19th Mar 2008 18:57

My understanding is that these are sepatate operations. You are hired for the one or the other, depending somewhat on where you want to be based and the conditions.

Touchdown 19th Mar 2008 19:09

I understand that they are separate - with a Twinjet Twist! BAH is month on/off but they're only recruiting 3 pilots (you do the maths) They intend to fill in with the imaginary LTN based crew and will expect the crew to be flexible and do them lots of favours! Typical management cutting corners to line their own pockets - disappointing both the customer and the few that will work for them.

These guys need to make some good decisions and fast if they want Twinjet to succeed. The management just wont listen though.......:ugh:

Shaman 19th Mar 2008 22:46

Ferry and Touchdown, thanks for the answers.

Re the Bahrain base, what do you think the work pattern is likely to be during the month there? Would you expect the work to be mostly one day trips, two day trips, three day trips or longer?

Do you know anything about the accommodation? Will the pilot keep the accommodation during his month on or will he have to vacate it if he is nightstopping outside BAH?

Is accommodation at BAH provided or does the pilot have to pay for it himself?

Shaman 21st Mar 2008 14:42

Anyone from Twinjet able to comment on the accommodation arrangements in BAH? It would be a great help.
