Out of curiosity is this Nexus the same company created by AS and MAZ.? They were pioneers of large scale corporate aviation based in OEJN in the early 2000s.

Current word is that freeflyer himself got fired. Cannot confirm for certain or give any details as anyone with half a brain either left or got fired, so inside sources are a bit thin on the ground these days.

Delicious if it is true though.... I only hope he had as much luck getting paid as the rest of us....

Well, this isn't the first time for First Officer chubby cheeks and it definitely won't be the last.

Go ask the expats in the Royal Fleet if they are happy and content, then you also have NASJET and AlphaStar, stories from there appear to be generally good.

You sure about that?
E.g. fwiw, I've not held a FAA medical for 26 years albeit that my FAA licence details are still viewable within the FAA Airman Inquiry Search Page.

Just confirmed with my source in Jeddah, it wasn't pretty. Now he will have plenty of time to pursue his dream of becoming a graffiti artist and rave DJ. (true story).

Yeah just read a post on Pprune about it. It says it is a crap company in almost every post. Why don't you post a question below the thread instead of reading the posts first?

Why yes they are hiring for the G650..... It's a brand new aircraft and all 4 pilots quit the first month because they weren't paid.
Crew salaries on the 319 weren't paid for so long the crew went to the owner, who has now taken the aircraft to another company. He's also suing Nexus for all the money he has paid that has not been forwarded to handlers etc The owner is pretty high up the pecking order, not the wisest person to piss off......
850 is for sale so that will be gone soon enough.

I think that leaves them with a sum total of 3 aircraft(? ) one of which is only half managed by the company, and by the sound of things they're not off to a good start with the newest toy.

So, any idea who’s taking on the 319? Did the crew all keep their jobs? What a crap situation!
