Any rumours for a fleet expansion?

Cargologicair will expand with B737BCF, B767, B777 and add more B747-8

I had a call from an agency looking for Loadmasters, they would not tell me who, may be Cargo Logic any body else been approached.

Mole Man

It might be for Kalitta Air.
I see on LinkedIn that they are expanding and hiring across the board, including Loadmasters "worldwide".

They are hiring again TR and NTR

NTR FO Job
 

I've seen CLA are recruiting NTR First Officers.
There's a bit of info on the job advert regarding T's and C's, but very little regarding rosters and yearly block time. Could anyone shed any light on how many hours to expect a year?

Just wondering what the gross and net is for a FO?

Also looking into the future a little, what would be time to command and the gross/ net for a CPT?

Cheers

Looking for any info.

current rosters
time to command
what it's like as a company to work for
hotel standard
any likelihood of a payrise?
aircraft and maintenance standards?
Roster stability.
bonding arrangements

Thank you for your help

There is another rumor now that the current CEO quit. Hopefully the company will be reconstructed and go forward

News regarding CLA. Unfortunately the future does not seem bright. The management announced 50% job cuts - at least flight crew. They had stopped flying to ATL, MEX, IAH and DWC. They have announced as well that they will stay with 2 aircraft. Very sad news. I really wish they will recover.

The ex-Martinair management did a great job - NOT. Unfortunately the days of this company are numbered. They have 2 planes now but only one seems to fly once every 2 weeks or so.

Many Cargo companies are suffering due to the US-China trade embargo and now the coronavirus outbreak.
Still you always have a choice...... find the door and leave, or stay and be part of the team working towards a solution.
Appreciate if there was less unwanted influence by AirBridgeCargo and more competent, stronger willed senior managers matters may have been, or can still be, better.

The reduction to 2 aircraft (50% cut in capacity) was announced by parent company the Volga Dnepr Group some time ago.

C-H Aviation's (paywalled) 'news' story about them ceasing B747-8 ops is also a bit dated. Think G-CLAB may not have flown for CargoLogicAir since late December and it was de-registered on transfer to Air Bridge Cargo on 3rd February.

Of course definitely i would leave asap. Everything else it would be a gamble for the family's and personal well being. Nobody wants to play with that, i suppose. I always try to see the trend and in this case the trend is negative. How on earth a company is going to survive by having 2 planes sitting around and flying a couple of times in a week. Planes have to fly in order to make money. Now the coronavirus outbreak indeed affected the pax flying but cargo companies like Cargolux just released a couple of days ago strong China cargo market.
https://delano.lu/d/detail/news/coro...flights/209476 . Now i understand that there must always be some hope, especially the employees who invested time in this company but I would strongly suggest to try and be a bit more realistic. Tho whole VD group seems to struggle after the NATO contract cancelation almost 2 years ago. ABC alegently is struggling to pay the crews and rumor says that CLA was called by the UK CAA to justify their business plan. Generally since the new ex-Martinair management came into power they were only bad news and this is not my opinion it is the fact. Another rumor says that the company had to find a DFO asap and got a 70 year old pensioner. I don't know if all these are true or just rumors but if i was still working in this company i would definitely struggle to sleep.

No, Cargolux did not release "a couple of days ago strong China cargo market."

Read the article! "Expect," "anticipate" "and could" are not facts, as a 'pilot' you should know that!

So now let's look at the FACTS in that same article:

Look at FlightRadar24 and you'll see most flights to the Middle East turn around and fly back empty to LUX, instead of continuing to HKG and flights to/from CGO, PVG, PEK, XMN are a fraction of what they normally would be. Only a few flights continue to the Far East from the Middle East and ASB.

How is this a "strong China cargo market?"

I guess this post isn't about Cargolux but Cargologic. The fact IS that today they announced they will suspend the operations for the next couple of months. It was an article regarding the coronavirus results. If as an airline you expect to pick up the backlog of the ops i think you should try at least to hang in there. CLA crews and employees are paying very expensive the total mess that the previous management left. I really wish the best for them. P.S. FrontRunner you seem a bit stressed out, chill out buddy.

What about this article then?

SkyHawk1985, I take it you are or were a CLA employee, my guess is you are working for the company still (or has a partner in the company) as all you seemingly post is about CLA. I hope the 1985 in your name doesn't relate to your DOB or when you started in the industry as I am sure that you could be easily identified and you could be in a sticky situation with your posts if the CLA management wanted to check up on you! :oh:
Here is hoping that no airline goes under because the company uses COVID-19 as an excuse.
And Front Runner, thanks for balancing the statement submitted by SkyHawk1985. All facts must be considered, as should the wording within. :)

No i am not working for this company nor an affiliate. You are guessing wrong. I would never share info. If i don't like it were i am working and my job conditions i always try to change that myself and not start moaning. That's not my style. It is just lets say I was a huge supporter of this setup and i got disappointed by the previous management. By the way i am not sharing secret info. When the CAA is involved any reporter who wants to find what's going on, they just can call them. At the end of the day are they flying? nope. Have they reduced fleet? Yes. Its simple its not any secret. I really wish they can recover

Looking worse....

A sad end. It’s already on Wikipedia as ceasing ops on 9th Feb. Website down too. My heart goes out to all involved, I know exactly what it’s like.

ACG also suspends ops. 3 747’s.

I am so lucky.... i have passed the interview at their offices near Heathrow last march with their HR head and an Ex-Ba Cpt TRI/TRE on the 747, very kind gentleman and honest too when i asked him at the end few questions about the operations and some advices as well. In the other hand this young lady (Head of HR) and her totally UNPROFESSIONAL behaviour on her replies through email after the interview (which was successful), in fact she never replied to me when i asked about taxation and such things so i did understand that the management or at least part of it was totally unorganised/inexperienced. All that plus the joke money they were offering for a first officer position made me not bother to even go to the simulator assessment in Frankfurt.
Very sad news though for the people working there...seems that 2020 will not be a great year not only in aviation but in a lot of industries.

Just seen news they are starting up again with two 747Fs.

707 -
who, ACG ? do you have a source ?

Traced my steps from yesterday and found the website with it on. Hope it helps someone.

indeed, thanks - let's see if and when they (Cargo Logic Air / CLA and not Air Cargo Global / ACG) will take off again - am certain that their "parent" is keen on capitalizing on current rate levels

one of their airplanes is already in the air according to FR24.

Makes sense there is hugh demand

These are very good news!!! Of course as i said in a previous post they should wait and they actually made it! Covid-19 maybe a killer for the pax flying but is an opportunity for the cargo airlines to serve the world and expand. Hopefully they will stay for long this time!
