Fuel & Crew
....I seem to remember a certain senior CargoB manager in BRU being interviewed in the flemish press about the sky high fuel price in mid 2008, if I remember correctly, he claimed that they could still make money with a crude oil price of $135/barrel operating B747 classics???
Perhaps volumes/yields were better then than the current market, however even at the time I considered this "wildly optimistic"!!!
I would like to know what type of pocket calculator he was using....I will put one on my Christmas list
!
Best of luck to all at ACG, hopefully we may have turned the corner economically speaking.

Good, that we have economical experts like you hetfield
I fly for ACG and if the business (hopefully) continues as it does at the Moment, you will hear the callsign "Loadmaster" a few years more.
I wonīt post payload and other details... but let me put it this way. ACG is doing pretty well. Better than we all expected.

Bl00dy He11 ! What an incredible buch of nay-sayers and doom-mongers we seem to have here!
Glass half empty, or what?
It's at times like these that we all need to have a positive attitude and be keen on making things work - especially a new, heavy-iron operator.
GO ACG! Good luck to you guys!

Hey Zapper.
Trip Time is four to six days with three to four days off in between. At the Moment we do around 75-85 Blockhours a month, what is pretty nice, cos overtime pay starts at 60+ hours But I guess this will go down to 60 hours when they reach the crewfactor they want.
Most of the pilots don't live around Hahn, some guys commute in by plane, some drive 80km, 200km, or even 400km into HHN.
I have flown already for five different companies, ACG is my sixth, and it is the first one, where I really hope it stays in business until my retirement.

Thanks mate. We all do our best, to keep it running

Well, the other five are still in business. I just don't liked it there. ACG is really nice to work for, and it suits my personal situation best of all. Eight years was a good guess, but its twelve years now to be exact.
