Does anyone know anything about them? Did anyone ever deal with them?

This is what I received from them:

A320 Family aircraft and b-737 all series aircraft for JAA and ICAO
license holders. In order to evaluate your status please send us a copies

Also has anyone worked with them b4?

I would not trust a company that just signs the email with 'HR Manager' with not even giving a name!

I got the contract from Arion Memos on behalf of Galain Aviation, the prices posted by bedix84 are correct. However I'm still looking for some information about this company.

Just one curious thing: the email comes from [...]@awvs.net.

100% sure. He called me today (from a private number) about a request I made via email at Galain Aviation last week, then he sent me the contract from @awvs.net account. I really don't know the link between those agencies.

However, in the contract there is no mention of Galain Aviation.

Ok we are talking about the same person and two different contracts and agencies?

I received the exact email that bedix84 wrote in the previous post from Mr.Arios Memos, the same Arios Memos that today sent me a contract with awvs.net.

Galain Aviation=Scam?

Hey guys and girls,

Is Galain Aviation a Scam? I did some research and this is what i found:

Galainaviation.com - Galainaviation

The person that owns Galainaviation.com is Ilias Stratigos. The same person that owned AWVS. AWVS went bankrupt after it took people's money. Beware guys before you decide to give ur cash to them...

Definitly a SCAM....
don''t give them money!!!
Just look also at the A320 LT price is at least 10.000 Euro cheaper than the normal price!!...they think people are stupid..so they lower the price to attract many young pilots in these traps!!

AFAIK Galain Aviation recently acquired AWVS.

Galain Aviation also offers aircraft investment for companies eg. Bahrain Air (read here).

Just my two cents: maybe all feedback about AWVS.net are no longer valid?

You're probabily right, but I know an airline in EU that sells 500hrs for the same price (but currently unavailable). Ciao!
