LEA Redundancies?
 
Heard a rumour that LEA has made all their Citation 2 drivers redundant. Can anyone confirm?

G-SPOTs Lost 22nd Oct 2008 12:27

One or two, not all..........

Iver 22nd Oct 2008 12:46

Wouldn't they just transfer to the growing Mustang fleet?

redundancies
 
:ugh:

I heard they have made a few of their Citation 2 pilots redundant as well as a whole lot of their Legacy fleet crew!!!
They had 4 legacies( one based and crewed in prestwick) and now they only have 2 and one of them is the one in prestwick so not good for their crew. Bet they are all looking for jobs in case another goes!:}

what a curious remark......surely LEA are the biggest/best operator in the UK, cant see them being in a dodgy financial position.

merlinxx 24th Nov 2008 17:29

Instead of asking/whingeing; why not give George G. a bell and ask:=

BizJetJock 24th Nov 2008 18:02

Can't comment on "best" since I've never worked for them, but they're not even close to being the biggest!
Either way, neither "biggest" nor "best" makes them immune from potential financial problems.

I thought LEA were the biggest GA operator in the UK?

So who is bigger then?

AircraftOperations 24th Nov 2008 23:34

Tag and Bookajet have got large fleets, but not all are G-Regs or are on their own AOCs.

Eurojet have a few machines I think.

How many machines in the Air Partner fleet at the moment?

LEA must be up there, when you consider the numerous Mustangs, plus a couple of King Airs; CII/Bravos, XLs, Challenger 300s, Legacys and the Falcon.

Fleet and Emb redundancies
 
Well apparently another 2 Emb 135 captains will be looking for a job!!!!!!
They trying to get rid of their Cit II's and apparently the King Airs too. Mustangs are not very busy but taking some of the work away from the King Airs!

Who knows if they will still be around in the future!!:confused:

Phil Brockwell 25th Nov 2008 12:01

Approachchecks,

How do you make the correlation between laying off crews when there is less flying and not being around in the future.

Everyone is doing less flying, therefore need less crews. I'm sure the catering company is buying less bread because he is making less sandwiches. If he's still buying as many loaves then he is an idiot and will go tits up.

Let's be careful that we don't confuse actively managing your overhead with going broke, in fact one insures the other does not happen.

Opsbeatch 25th Nov 2008 12:30

Well said Phil!

Smeagels Boyfriend 25th Nov 2008 12:57

He could buy the same amount of bread and put it in the freezer Phil!

hawker750 25th Nov 2008 13:46

That's crazy: switch the freezer off and save on overhard

Smeagels Boyfriend 25th Nov 2008 15:54

But he might have a fridge freezer, what about all the other produce?

hawker750 25th Nov 2008 15:56

No point in having a fridge either, everyone will soon have to grow ther own

merlinxx 25th Nov 2008 16:40

Haven't seen fridge seeds at my local garden centre, you got some in yours?:E Can you grow em from fridge magnets:bored::confused:

approachchecks 25th Nov 2008 19:26

Phil, I was talking about the crew!!:}
