Glad you enjoy flying the second hand fleet. They were even better when new!

No idea what the website I'm on about is? Ever thought of using Google?
(Companies House is the place where all UK limited company documents are available.)

As you seem to need spoonfeeding in order to do the most basic tasks, here is the website for you:

Companies House

By the way, the accounts even tell you the two airframes involved too!
Maybe when you hit 20 years at Atlas you will finally know as much about your employer as you think you already do.
Being that we have 6 of them that were new, I have been privileged to fly them with the new airplane smell. I am sure the next 3 new ones will be just as nice.

Your website leads to a dead link. And to be honest with you I really don't give a s**t anyway.

At least I will "hit" the 20 year mark still flying and getting paid for it. Maybe time to throw a little tea into the harbor again!

What's happened to you dude? You seemed so decent earlier on in this thread when GSS were in trouble.

First and foremost, being compared to Ray Wojnar.

Second, the pompous attitudes.

Other than that, I am fine and dandy.

If the comment comparing you to RW has offended you that badly then I genuinely apologise, however you do seem to be gloating a little over flying the ex GSS birds?

Sorry, I was egged on by a couple of the comments. I had friends that worked at GSS, and it is a sad day when anyone looses a job. And in this business when some are 50+ years old, it is almost impossible to go out and get another one with any reputable company. I genuinely feel for the pilots and ground staff

Had you simply accepted that Nearly Man was correct about the two 777Fs being leased via GSS (which they are) there would have no need for you to have been egged on in the first place.

And A340, GSS hasn't folded. There are still guys in the office at STN and the company is still trading, all be it with no aircraft currently on the AOC.

If it's any help to former -8 drivers, BA is likely to be looking at DEP entry onto the 744 in the near future.

BA 747 DEP ad.;

"To be considered for this role you will need:
a current type rating on one of the following types 747-400/767/777/787 ... - please note that preference will be given to those candidates actively operating the requisite aircraft at the point of application"
Is that how BA usually phrase their recruitment requirements or is that a deliberate COCKpitBLOCK for the GSS folks. Most airlines require recent experience, within 6 or say 12 months. All the best to the GSS guys still looking for a position.

Hey zeddb

You really sure you want to join BA? Thought you hated us all? We destroyed your career didn't we? You may well find you detest the place. Why would you put yourself through that?

All that said, I wish you luck. I hope you get in if that's what you really want.

Regards 4468

Those hangers on at STN should stay there, let them stay in their little bubble of perfection
