Haven't heard much about Gold Airways of late.

Where are they now?

I haven't heard much either but I understand TPG might be involved. I guess after Ozjet spat the dummy, they'd be more than cautious. Can't blame them really.

Who's that other lot that want to operate MD83s? They are looking for a Chief Pilot. B727s, gas gusslers in Jan 07 !!! Not recommended.

No guys....the fact that OzJet gave it away has not detered Gold Airways....the business plan is complete and as you might have seen on the web site before it went of the air...majority of tasks have been completed....

Its a great business plan....Gold is aiming to be a Low Cost Premium Carrier to operate a fleet of A-320 family of aircraft...and is now in the process of attracting an investor...once that is done, attaining aircraft, hiring of staff and of course the AOC will come very quickly...

It was decided to close the web site due to poor patronage....the cost of keeping it open to how many looked at the web site was deemed uneconomical...

Personaly I liked it open, but the powers at be decided otherwise....I'm sure once the green light is received the site will be bigger and better...at the moment all the departments in Gold Airways are undergoing due diligence...

I wish Gold the very best...it will be no easy task to start up in Oz...QF & VB will pull every dirty trick in the book and then some...but that does not mean that there is no room for a potential airline like Gold Airways...

If they can't afford a website, how in Hades will they ever scratch up enough for wages, let alone the rest of the million or two just to get the AOC ? Total tossers.

I wouldn't go as far as to say that.

Look, if they are being frugal, what's wrong with that? To stay competitve you have to watch every penny (cent). They had that website for a while, they obviously want to update it to a slicker site with more capabilities, I guess. At least it's dynamic, not like the defunct Ozjet one.

Hey, if they have an interest from an investor, sh**t man, they are a lot further ahead than some of you "lard-heads" and, besides, I need a career too - so I reckon they are doing alright mate.

Listen, they have a public company registered. Its clearly more serious than some of you guys are making out. I don't know the guy who started this but if he has already got this far he must be a bloody genius, I reckon.

F**ck, join the band wagon I say, this is going to be a winner.

One thing I have noticed over the years on this website is that there a lot of c**k-heads that make stupid moronic comments...

There is a reorganization of the Gold Airways website in progress....it involves of changing things technically to utilize high speed communications, and for world wide web support...

It doesn't matter if cynics think Gold will never get up....what's it to them anyway...but if Gold does get up then there will be opportunities for those that are being denied one now...

Fountain Pen, you would be involved with them would you? Come on mate, spill the beans. Who is the investor??? OK well maybe you better not but they must be paying the recruitment agency that interviewed me so they must have money right?

As I said before...the website is being updated...if you go there now you will see an explanation for the change...

Gold Airways has not engaged a recruiting agency...although they have received lots of applictions due to advertising that was on that previous web site...once investors are on board...recruitment will start...

For those of you that don't want to see Gold Airways fly...what's it to you anyway, its none of your business...you are obviously happy with your lot in life and don't want to see others have an opportunity to have a career in an airline...

Gold Airways has not engaged a recruiting agency because THEY HAVE NO JOBS NO PLANES NO EQUIPMENT NO HANGARS ETC ETC ETC.
