TransGulf Express
Hi folks
I am wondering the outcome of TransGulf
Express interviews in Canada. I was in
for the interview they told me I will hear
from them in a week time,but up to know
I haven't heard a thing. I am curious if
anybody (pilots,mechanics,FA) received
any job offers.
regards

Hi Mutt
TransGulf Express is a new start up airline in the Middle
East out of Sharjah "low cost operation", went to Canada
conducted interviews for "pilots,Fa,Mechs." Starting some time
in Sept. I think 18th not sure though, starting first with 3 A320s
and ending with 6 by year end.
I hope this will help !
Cheers

The reason TGE went to Canada is because there is a lot of
highly trained (pilots,FAs,Mechs) that have been laid off
from Air Canada as we speak as well as a lot of X-Canada
3000 crews. Needless to say TGE consultant is well reputable
Air Canada Captain well respected with many years of
experience in the industry, so there you have it.
I hope this will answer your Q!

There are three 'start ups' in Sharjah. Ask yourself how a tiny emirate like Sharjah can start up that many 'low cost' airlines???? Right next door to Emirates.
Shaikh al Thani hasn't spun a fan on a number of aircraft since he started years ago. If you talk to any of these outfits? Lots of BS short on substance.
Personally, I'd stay away from it.
.. a word to the wise.
why Canada for interviews????
just taking advantage, that's all.
good luck to all, just the same

...what has ex-Air Canada captain got to do with anything.
First of all Air Canada pilots are 'rare' in the Emirates and second of all Air Canada pilots know squat about Sharjah.
None of these three operations make an ounce of sense.
...but, that's just my opinion and nothing more.

Gday....mate with respect to the 3
startups out of the tiny Emirates state,
I kind of think it is tight for everybody
to operate if everybody does go head
and start. I agree with "4holerpoler"
I think he was the one to say earlier
on this topic that if any of them would
last given the financial profile so far
from what we see, it would be Air
Arabia since its goverment backed, and
in the middle east it means alot!
TGE if does start it will demonsrate a
new concept in flying in the middle east
since it will be the first ever airline in
the region flying no frills.
"why Canada for interviews????
just taking advantage, that's all". I
don't dispute that it could very well be
part of the bigger picture that we don't
know!
(...what has ex-Air Canada captain got
to do with anything.) I never
mentioned anything about x-Air
Canada Captain Willi... what I said was
a current Air Canada Captain.......that's
what TGE rep. was saying to all of the
us waiting for their interviews when
somone asked Why Canada For
Intervs.!
Willi...I really don't know if there are
any AC pilots in the Emirates as we
speak and it dosen't concern me, but I
do know there are a number of
Canadian chaps down in the sandpit
flying for EK,GF,QR as well as "corpt.
flying".
"Air Canada pilots know squat about
Sharjah"......I would have to disagree
with you on that one Willi....a number
of the guys with AC right now started
their careers out in Kuwait, Bahrain,
Abu Dhabi.....to get experience before
coming back to Canada!
I hope I cleared the air.......

Thanks for setting me straight mate
...sorry about the ex-Air Canada ref. Bit of a clanger, eh? I obviously mis-read the post.
Having cut my teeth out there, I'd have to agree with you that TGE stand the best chance of getting off the ground out of the three.
Sharjah???
Still doesn't compute my friend.
You can take all the money you like in this world to start a LCC even in the Emirates....you still need a passenger base and SHJ is sorely lacking in that regard.
Being CDN myself, I'm well aware of the number of CDNs at EK, QR, and GF. Let's not forget KA. TGE simply pales by comparison to the aforementioned. Right?
I'm still waiting to see a major down sizing at EK (including flight crew). Eventually, reality will overcome ego and someone will come to their $en$e$. While I sincerely wish them well, (it's a fantastic airline) it is one airline that simply doesn't add up. Despite awards. Again, you have to carry the right number of fare paying passengers to be a success. Despite the PR job they like to do, "I'm from Missouri". EK loads have always had me scratching my head. Finding reliable financial info on EK is like finding diamonds in your back yard. It takes a lot of digging and disappointment.
GF is being dismantled fostering disatisfaction among crew. This will eventually reflect in service as human nature takes it's hold.
GAMCO is starting a new airline in AUH. (WHAT????) More problems for GF.
Three LCCs in SHJ?? Won't work. Full stop.
At a time when the world is watching certain behaviors and events in 'that part of the world'.
Cross your fingers and wish them well.
I still say it won't work. IMHO
Sorry.

Gday......Thanks for correcting me and
adding KA to the list.
"Having cut my teeth out there, I'd have to agree with you that TGE stand the best chance of getting off the ground out of the three.
Sharjah???".......you meant Air Arabia,
eh!......I understand, no sweat.
Willie .......I agree with what you are saying 100% from a business stand,at
the same time it seems to me national
airlines in the middle east no matter how bad they perform due to their poor managments, they always seem to have cash flowing in,and I think the
reason is because they are looked upon as national "pride honour" rather
than a businees......I agree the traffic is not there!
Willie....it is going to be an interesting
one to see, this whole Sharjah thing.
TGE is coming to the table with only
$10m/US no knowledge who is the
backer beside Mr. Helman's share of
35%, MenaJet is putting $50m/US
with a strong backing from a wealthy
Saudi firm, Air Arabia is coming to the table with the best backing $$$$$ and a lots of it (goverment of Sharjah).......
......it will be sure an interesting one
to watch.
By the way the one that will be
starting by GAMECO is called Elithad
A.340/330 operation! Government backed as well.
Willi....I will cross my legs and wish they tell me where I stand after the
interview (what the hell is going on!)
since they haven't replied contarary to
their promise.
I need a job in the sandpit to taste a
tax free salary for a change.......
I will chat to you later,eh!
