Good on you for turning it down! Globe started out offering great salarys, great hotels, paid tickets home for leave and we called it "Fantisy Air" It didn't take them long until they made big cuts, too bad. Hajj is really the only time to cash in on the Tristar rating, if whoever decided to pay you.
Read my post above.

As you say the Hadj will be starting in less than 2 months. They better get their #$^7 together. Will the rates go up for rated crews as the heat starts? I for one, am hoping that I will get a call sooner rather than later! Guess I will have to send those resumes to all over again and wait for "better" conditions.
Good luck to all again!

Alapt,

Most are already hiring or have hired for Hajj, but believe me , sometimes what you are promised is not what you get. I guess they figure that we (L1011 drivers) will be happy with whatever we get.

Hot off the press...

[COLOR=darkred]That would be cash in hand!

Air Universal 747 have better flying compared to the L1011. Currently based in Tehran flying for Iran air. Unlimited deadheading on Iran air network. The chief pilot is a good friend of mine.
