Emerald and the CAA
Does anyone know what the latest is re the CAA inspection at Emerald? I heard that all line re-certs have been put on hold (mostly the Budgie guys). Rumours are that they're very short on Shed pilots, but can't recruit fresh meat until they get current guys back on line!

This is indeed worrying news for all the guys still working there.
They won't get a TRE unless the salary reflects the position, but some companies seem to think it's all for your own benefit. Can make more money and have a better lifestyle as a freelancer.

They were supposed to be sending someone on a TRE course but thats been scrapped or blocked as some seem to think.
That leaves just one SD3-60 TRE available to them which cannot be an ideal situation.
I had a PM recently from someone who has unbelievably been offered a type rating later in the month, I imagine the course has been cancelled now !!

Suspension of AOC
Be advised that with effect from 2100 hours local this evening our AOC has been suspended.
The reasons for such will be highlighted in a ‘Notice’ to be prepared and issued likely tomorrow morning.
This means all aircraft must not fly beyond 2100 hours and customers are being advised of such as quick as I possibly can.
The above suspention is subject to an appeal, details of which will be issued later.

5 748's on their way back to BLK at the moment.
Cant imagine this is going to go down well with the RM, the ABZ flights were on a final warning anyway 'alledgedly'
No one can take any pleasure in what is going on at JEM, its a very sad day for all those who have worked damn hard.

I've worked for Emerald twice in my career, the first time back in 1994/1995 and the second time some years later.
I have to say that the first time was the best and some fond and fun memories remain with me from that time, by the time I worked there the second time the company had grown and whilst some politics etc. had set it it remained, on the whole, fun.
Hopefully this is just a temporary setback and better times may lie ahead, good look to all including AJ & MOB.

It's a sad day
I just heard the news, I'm so sorry for all staff. I hope that it all works out for you.
Having recently left after 9yrs I know just how hard working everyone is. I even wish MOB the best of luck in getting it back for the sake of all employees.
Take Care Guys, see you soon for a 10 Strong Whipped

wonder who,s fault this ime
it will either be ops or crewings fault as usual.Sorry but the buck stops at the top
i do not understand why anyone is surprised we all saw it coming.A few pilots must be loving it ?they know who they are.If AJ lets it continue in the manor its been managed then what does he expect.Abusing staff and the authority will only last for so long before they bite back .Sad for many deserved for a few

did the same
yes germstone understand where your coming from still have friends who work there to be honest they are glad its possibly over so they can put an end to their suffering and move on .Since being away from there its been a shock as to how bad the place is run and how many health and safety rules they break and thats just the tip of the problems .There are some good people who would be welcomed else where but they need to move and move fast or be left out in the cold .The amount of people leaving in the last 6 months should have been enough warning many long term employees who saw the writing on the wall
