Guys,
I`am very sad to be sat here reading your posts.I worked for emerald back in 96 and it would seem from your posts that nothing has changed.Still not enough crews,bad rostering,poor pay,very bad management.
I would have hoped that after 8 years of expanding things may have got a little better,but sadly not.Strange that MOB still seems to be a common and constant factor in it all
G-mima may unwittingly have a point when he says leave,because it would appear things won`t ever get any better,but as someone pointed out its not that easy.
I remember the flying was great,and the crews were a really good bunch of lads,and the boss was a t*sser.
I wish you all the best of luck with your BALPA action,if it comes to that.
For any one trying to leave,there is light at the end of the tunnel,the 748 nightfreight is a superb grounding.I`ve never felt so tired,having to get the last ounce of concentration out to land the plane at BFS in a x-wind with a 200 cloudbase is something you`ll never forget,and something you can draw on in later jobs.
I fly long haul now,and in the dead of night over the Atlantic the ex short haul jet people have problems trying to keep awake,where as we ex night freight pilots (of which there are many) just take it in our stride.
Best of luck to you all

"if only andy j wasn't so selfish (lining his own pockets) "
Is it really conidered selfish to "line your own pockets" after spending decades of hard work creating a profitable company?
Why would anyone set up a company for any reason than to "line your own pockets" or did you think the company was set up to give it's pilots something to moan about?

you're quite right, there's nothing wrong with lining your own pockets but not when you make out the company's skint and there ain't no money for payrises, expenses etc. in a small company people accept that money maybe short but when you retrospectively discover he (and any other boss of a company for that matter) has been siphoning money off left right and centre
whilst you've forgone payrises etc it gets your goat a bit. certainly
entrepreneurs deserve reward for risk, and this lot have made it.

you do seem to have a vendetta against poor old emerald or mob, you really need to move on and get a life, you are starting to sound like roy cropper off that cobbled street. or maybe just an ex employee? surely there are worse off people than yourself who maybe work for a company who let them down also, look at those guys at one of the leading companies who maybe ploughed money into shares and were burn('t) badly. look on the bright side all you're shift might turn up and give you time to reply.

looking at the latest rosters, there is a lot of slack (on the shed F/Os especially) in some areas with some having nothing but standby all week and others only one or two flights, the rest made up with standby.
With the loss of STN-MGL route next year & MRS-LBG going on to the ATP soon (plus possibly one of the CI routes) is it time to start worrying ?

Things always look quiet but never end up that way. As for routes going on to the ATP, well, they have to be completed first!
Until Rombac learn how to cut the hole the same size as the door, that may be a while.
With Xmas coming up, there's bound to be a lot of work - and there are always the ad-hocs.
