Hi SL,

Yes, they will initially be using 747-300, 727-100 and DC10-30F.

i'm a newbie here and just want to share some info on tair. i have finished with the initial screening, written exam, panel interview, pre-qualifying swimming and medical exam (in that order) but still waiting for their call as to when the training for batch 4 will commence. from what i've heard from other batches the training was so hard, it's about 3 weeks training with 2 days red cross. you would think that the red cross was the hardest part but it's actually the training itself. the training is in CATC in Merville. i heard they will be operating sometime march and still needs a lot of CCs. you need to apply personally at warner barnes in makati, just bring your CV with a picture (they have their own application form anyway ). everything is so fast so be sure you are available when they call you which is usually 1 or 2 days before. i hope the info helps most of you aspiring CCs like me. good luck to us!!!

I have got this latest information from a friend who is close to the owners.

They have got their ICAO, IATA & Radio Callsign codes assigned. The initial B747-400 was sold to another company last November 2006. They are finalizing at the moment the deal for two B747-300 aircrafts. One will be delivered by mid of March and the other by June 2007. They have already signed for the B727-200 & DC10 freighters.

Mutt, do not worry my friend. They have the necessary traffic rights to operate a triangle daily flights to Jeddah & Riyadh. In addition to the Bangkok & Johor operations.

You will see them very soon in the skies.

Not for the B747-400. But yes, very soon for the B747-300. The majority of the cabin crew will be Filipino. But very soon they will mix with other nationalities as well for the flight deck too.

Very soon the airline will be going in the final stage and will have public announcements prior to operations.

Waiting

Hi lec1102,

I'm not sure of how everything is done. As for my experience, I thought they're not going to call me for swimming exam anymore since I never had the chance to touch the last part of my exam (which is the abstract reasoning) because I ran out of time. After a week, Sir Emil called up and scheduled me for the swimming test. All I can say is patience is the virtue and as for how long, I really can't say... hope I can give you an answer.

Which airline are you talking about? This makes confusion on the thread. I assume that you are mentioning SV.
