Anybody Know if TNT is Hiring at the moment.

spifire

TNT is not hiring in any department at the moment.

Abx 767
 

Anyone knows why ABx 767 is flying JFK instead of icelandair?

And anyone knows about A300's people? Which airplane are they going to use instad of A300? Will they hire more wetlease 757's? The percentage of subcharter seems to be many high. :confused:

Regards fellows!

Does anyone know when the next intake for FOs on the BAe146 will be?

Many Thanks!

Are TNT getting rid of the A300's ?
If so what will they use into STN ?

Hi all,

A300s are going. don't think they are being replaced straight away. and recruitment has been frozen.

Not replacing but some other companies flying for TNT... As Daz211 said Who is going to fly into Stansted, Belfast, Linate, East Midlands, etc... How crazy is it?

Happy landings!:ok:

Today I was told the A300's minght be replaced by A330's,
well thats what I was told at STN anyway.

Daz211, Do know anything new about that? Because I've been hearing of a rumour, for around a year that TNT would like to change 146's and A300's for A319F and A330's. To be honest I don't believe that even thougt when they keep on hiring other airlines to do what TNT should do by their own.

Happy landings!

A300s are going and, I believe, are being replaced using leased N reg 767s. The 146s are bought and paid for, so I'll be surprised if they are going anywhere, anytime soon.

When?

American registered aircraft with american crews flying internally i Europe for a European company? Would that be acceptable to the Belgian CAA or the Unions? Que 411A for some patronizing 'take it or leave it' baloney

So are The A300s. That does not appear to matter much.

I have been reliably informed that the A300 have the best dispatch reliability within TNT, while the 146 and 737 are suffering from reliability issues which have made flying spanners a regular occurance of those aircraft.

In TAY ground unions are stronger than flying staff unions... so dead end.

In Liége we'll see more planes different than the white and orange flying for TNT... A300's leaving and not replaced... Even though A300's are paid as 146's, they are very expensive if you have to pay other 2,8 mill € each plane to keep them serviceable...I wonder if they need more planes, cheaper than the A300's but maybe due to economical reason TNT does not have enough money to afford new planes but to hire wet lease from other companies... Catch 22!

anyone can tell me what's going on with 747's?

Regards!

I'm hearing that ABX will not only be flying the trans-Atlantic for TNT but will also be flying intra-Europe for TNT as well. Possibly with up to a dozen 767-200s.

Hi everybody,
I am new on this forum.
Anyone knows if they are starting recruitment by summer?

"I'm hearing that ABX will not only be flying the trans-Atlantic for TNT but will also be flying intra-Europe for TNT as well. Possibly with up to a dozen 767-200s"

Nice try on the flame bait, please try again later!

Peace to all involved.

Perritopiloto if you are hired or just call for an interview by TAY you'd be the first spanish in getting that... In TAY there are pilots from many countries in Europe but not from Spain.

Regards!

Commited to stay, Who knows... But TNT owns two airlines: TNT Airways (TAY) since year 2000 (I think) and Pan Air Lineas aereas since 1988. Pan air is a spanish airline and this could be the reason.

Regards!

Hi,
I am not quite sure, but I think that PanAir is not owner of TNT,
As far as I know ( and I am not sure), PanAir is a spanish operator which operates OBO TAY, as well as do Mistral,etc.

By the way, I will be really glad to receive a call from TNT Airways, weather i am the first spanish to join them or not.

Perritopiloto,

Believe me if I tell you that TNT owns 100% Pan Air. Mistral is not own by TNT.

Good luck anyway, but if you're spanish you'd better try in Pan Air first. However nobody is hiring at moment.

Suerte!:ok:

DHL needs 2 F/Os ...check their careers site.

The first A300 has been parked at LGG & is already missing an engine!
A second & third aircraft will join it before the end of the second quarter.
The A300's have a good despatch reliability but are due heavy checks which are VERY pricey!
Some of the 146's will be on their way to Africa soon'ish.
Part of the reason the 146 & 73 dispatch reliability has dropped is due to down route unserviceabilities.TNT had the 'consultants' in last year & they recommended closing the down route maintenance bases as a cost saving,lo & behold they now have flying spanners on board until the outstations can be re-opened!!
The same consultants recommended longer hours/shifts for the mechanics & as they OBVIOUSLY know the industry, I'm sure it will happen:ooh:
Paaaaaaaaah! Flight safety who needs it………..:{
As far as fleet replacement goes a few different frames have been rumoured but nothing writ in stone.

Where do you found this. Do you have a link??

Their Careers page....Ill apply for ya if you want.

Job Advert - Job World Europe

I guess that's an old advert. Deffinately NO hiring at the moment...

And as far I've heard (but we all know about rumours in this business) TNT is getting rid of 30! people (airbus guys) as they can't be placed on the rest of the fleet...
But then again... rumours :)

Heard Emirates will be cancelling the TNT contract. Anyone else hear the same?
bpp

Only bad rumors guys....

Facts :
The Emirates contract is still running and is not going to end
As far as I know, nobody is going to be fired, every pilot will have an offer on another aircraft

?
 

I know from a friend of mine they are still spending $ on the 146 fleet so fingers crossed, no one seems to know for sure the long term fate of the Busses though ? (can't be great though for 30+ yr old airframes ?

What happened to the new Buses rumour of a while back ?

I had a chat with a former colleague, who is now mid-level management at TNT, who said that nobody knows what's going to happen as internal communication is -in his words- non-existing. Apparently the Airbus chief pilot was informed about the grounding of the first Airbus by an email sent to all pilots. Request for information about future redundancies and how they are to be handled are met with silence or waffeling.

It seems -according to my source- that the upper management have decided to create uncertainty amongst their pilots and suppress rumours by encouraging the reporting of same and their originators.

DDR anyone?

I see ABX have started serving LGG-JFK and LGG-YHZ-JFK - is this part of the first step into Europe for them? I assume this flight has something to do with TNT?

Hello!

As further as I know ABX is flying for TNT as Icelandair does.

Anyone can tell me if the whole A300 fleet is going to be retired this year instead of in two years?

Regards!

Ah right thats what I thought. I notice Icelandair only serve LGG-KEF and return now, with only 1 weekly extension to JFK.
Now I'm presuming all the USA stuff goes on the ABX 767 now, so where does that leave Icelandair as they only require 1 757F now? Plus the 2 they have flying on the TNT network that makes 3, so what are the other 2 doing? Maybe TNT will use them to replace A300's? :suspect:

That's exactly what I think but I'll always say that all that flights should be done by TAY/PNR...

Do you know anything about pilots on A300? I Hope all of them are going to be relocated.

Regards!

All talk seems about relocating the A300 pilots, but what is going to happen to the Flight Engineers?

F/E's will be relocated as well but some of them have not pilot license so they will be offered or have been offered to work on maintenance. I don't know conditions...

Regards!

from the news
 

are these nine planes the A300's??


"In response to the business slump, TNT Express has launched a series of cost-cutting measures, including 1,000 job reductions out of some 75,000 – 80,000 worldwide and the decommissioning of nine aircraft from the 46-strong European air fleet. About 300 jobs are being cut in the UK and most of the remainder will be spread across the major European markets, including Germany, France and Italy, CEO Peter Bakker said."

I guess they're not going to bring on any new planes at the moment? :hmm:

future uncertain ....
 

:sad:I heard on the crew room grapevine about the A300 lay up's, speculation seems rife about the 146's but it does seem odd that reliability is being bandied around given the fact that most of these airframes are getting on for 30 years old, surely no one in the real world would expect high reliability from 30 year old airframes unless it's a heavily cosseted classic or they have somehow re-defined the laws of physics where aluminimum alloy DOESN'T try to to return to it's white powder form which doesn't seem very likely !! :sad:

Good luck TAY folks, I was hoping to join you one day as I have friends in Liege but that seems unlikely now. :=

Mistral Air exit by august
 

Heard through the grapevine that Mistral air is retraining their guys on the 737. Contract guys have a contract until august, and by that time Mistral (operating 2 or 3 146-es iirc ) will stop operating for TNT.
What happens to the aircraft, dunno, they are owned by TNT apparently, just being operated by TNT.

ABX
 

At the very least ABX are definitely looking into operating in conjunction with TNT out of Belfast, they've already had negotiations with the handling agents there.

The A300s may be old, and i think some were rescued from the Arizona desert, but in the last year the A300 has only broken down twice or so in Belfast, quite a few other airlines there have had more problems with younger aircraft.

Maximus recruiting A300-600RF crew
 

Just for the info of any of the Airbus crews with TNT - Maximus are recruiting Airbus crews as they will be expanding their operations come 1st June with the award of a new contract Airbus contract for scheduled service operator.

A300-600 is not same type-rating as A300/B4 (3 men cockpit) which are operated by TNT

Told friday,ALL A300's gone by October.Only a big pickup in the next 6 months will save them. 5h1te news!
