Etihad Sydney Basings?
Any truth to the rumour that EY are about to advertise for Airbus pilots to be based in Sydney?
If it's true, the bleeding wound of resignations at EK could well develop into an arterial gush.
... of course, EK could stem that gush with a simple management decision - the very same decision EY management have recognised they simply had to make to fill their seats at the pointy end of their big white whales.

Hi MTOW,
I believe the rumor is not correct. Etihad has signed a deal for contract pilots last week, and it appears the guys will be based in SYD and fly the SYD-AUH-JFK route. Another managment error. Instead of raising the conditions for the present ones, they are hireing expensive pilots that will upset all of us.
How long they will stay is not clear to me, as the company didn't published anything yet, but it definitely suc..
This will certainly see more FO's leaving the company despite the new package, as commands will once more be postponed, and still no new airplanes ordered...

Over three years ago RH employed short term contract Captains on the 330/340 fleet at GF, with written assurances that they would indeed be short term. Up to 20 of them are still here. I would suggest that they will be permanent at EY also.

A345/6 drivers
I heard they grow on trees in the land down under
Come on guys the market is dry...dont believe the s..t the others spread around......they might find some retirees to fly for a couple of months but thats about it.
Feel sorry for the copilots though...it looks like its going to be a couple of years on the right seat-INDUSTRY STANDARD-
If they only knew what they have done to themselves with the new BS package.....but what to do
As always blind leads the blind
Safe flying

Zick, could you clarify your post for me? You say the rumour's not correct and then go on to say EY have signed a deal for contract pilots to be based in Sydney, which is pretty much what MTOW's rumour was, wasn't it?

I think most people would call your argument a clear case of splitting hairs, flynbyu. And I'd have to say I agree with the comment made above - EK 'Boos drivers will be deserting the desert in droves if the package is anywhere near as good as I've heard, (in the order of AUD220k pa including all extras).

flynbu... The contract pilots employed by RH when he was at GF were on 6 to 12 month contracts as well . Almost four years later after endless extentions most of them are still here. Talking to them they give the impression that their contracts are open ended. I can't see why it will be any different in EY.

Jobs at Sky for A330/340
http://www.skyairworld.com/careers.html
Applications are invited from Captains and First Officers with Airbus A330/A340 type ratings, interested in operating long range Airbus flights from a Sydney base. Captains should have significant command experience on jet aircraft above 50,000kg and 7,000hrs or more total time. First Officers should have more than 2,500hrs total time and more than 1,000hrs on jet aircraft above 50,000kg.
I think it's Sky who got the contract for EY.
Thoughts?
Anyone with more info?

Not EY
I think you will find that sky have nothing to do with EY. The CEO and others used to work for Strategic Aviation which has the Australian Defence Force contract to transport troops from Australian on deployment in the middle east. I think you will find that they are sourcing an aircraft to take this contract over and fly defence force personnel from SYD to places like KWI and FUJ.
Sounds like a secure future.........Not

EY Basing in YSSY
Hi all, can anyone confirm about this position. I believe it was advertise by an outside firm and not Etihad itself.
Does anyone have any information about this position or even the website for that firm advertising the position. I saw it a while back, however after doing a search, I couldnt find anything.
Any news would be helpful.

www.skyairworld.com I think.
Contract job for unnamed ME airline.
Now on hold due "contractor airline has advised that negotiations regarding regulatory issues will take longer than originally anticipated."
Probably stiff opposition internally and from the gubmint.
