You have to wonder if it's MIDEX..... see the Freight Dog forum thread on Midex before you go too far down the application trail......

What about the Lion Air B744 operation??? They are going to fly CGK-JED.
These positions could be based in JED, could they not?

Probably not LionAir. The two 744s ordered flew straight from the factory to the desert.
Cargo B is staffed. New 744 to be based in EBLG for Africa flights.
Sorry can't help with identify of mystery job post.

Perhaps someone getting their ducks in a row in order to pick up the pieces when AAI fall over........

Plenty of people sniffing about in KSA but so far the wheels have not been greased as well as the coneheads had previously.

Watch this space....... all will be revealed grasshopper



NO I DONT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT

..... but I know someone that does

Those two new 74F white tails were for LoadAir Kuwait, not LionAir Indonesia.

AAI is Falling over AGAIN?

" Perhaps someone getting their ducks in a row in order to pick up the pieces when AAI fall over"

If you are going to smoke the good stuff, you are going to have to share with the rest of us. Otherwise I am turning you in for a drug test.

Might you be a disgruntled AABO employee, or I should say a soon to be
ex-AABO employee. AABO gone 6/1 paid through 6/30 Stanstead base closed 6/1.

Where's the cup dog????

Think I could hit it from here????

No I am not involved in this project and have never worked for anyone above about 55N but lets just say there are players that are waiting to see if AAI fall out of their tree. Aircraft are available, crews sitting about it is not rocket science to see that the incumbent need to lift their game.

Is the 400 in KSA safe? has MAS Kargo finished up?

Having two friends that are non islanders and on the respective classic and 400 fleets they are very concerned that when the music stops there wont be any chairs at all.

Poaching would be a good way to describe the outcome..... if or when it happens.

Your information is skewed at best. Crews are flying their asses off. Couple of A/C available, yes. In this market what do you expect? Been here 11 years and I am not running out looking for a new job just yet.

Fr8dog............

If you were sane, you'd be running for the hills..... get those applications in NOW !!! At the moment you're looking at OVER 4-6 months gardening leave, when AAI cuts you loose.

If this Ad for -400 F/o's "is" AAI, the Classics are in deeper cr*p than apparent.

The boys from the "rock" are putting 3X -400s into JED very soon, training for the Left Seaters starts next week. That means the Classics are gone...not just to Merana, but out of AAI's greedy grip. There has been NO intimation that expat F/Os currently with AAI on the classic will be offered a look-in on the -400.

The MAS Kargo contract is definitely at risk, if not yet announced as lost. JED and SV will eventually turn into an all -400 contract (for as long as that lasts).

TwoTbags..... Your info is spot on ! Fr8Dog must be one of the "Lap Dogs" still on the payroll (or 1/2 pay) if you catch my drift.

BTW, Airborne Personnel IS AAI.

Too many AAI's

Atlas Air Inc isn't AAI
Air Atlanta Icelandic is AAI
Atlas Air is AAWW
AACS/AABO isn't anymore

No longer confused?

B744 info.

Hi,

I was wondering if anybody out there in 744-land can offer me some information? Unfortunately, I lost all my notes from when I went to 744 Type school. I was wondering if anybody could direct me to a good source to review and study 744 systems and limitations. Maybe , you have excellent notes on your computer and are willing to share? Thanks.

Please PM
