Adagold chartered Hifly A340 when is it due in Australia
As Strategic has appeared to have lost the ADF contract, let me ask the next question, when is the Adagold chartered Hifly A340 due in Australia.
Will it also be based in Brisbane as Adagold is based in Brisbane.
Also will it be a A340-300 or 500 as Hifly has both in their fleet.

Strategic have finished with ADF.
I wouldn't be so sure on that, HC as the investigations are still ongoing, apparently. This is from a Defence statement:
I would be very surprised if the investigation clears and all the contracts are signed within a month. That could leave Strategic in the place where the ADF have to sign an extension for a couple of months more until all the fine details of the contract have been signed off o.
Interesting times!
The separate review Defence is undertaking into allegations of irregularities in the 2010 process for retendering the contract for Air Support Services to the Middle East Area of Operations is continuing and the tender remains incomplete at this time.
Interesting times!

That would be clever of Defence. They have boxed themselves into a situation where they have to continue using the incumbent who are currently under Federal Police investigation for whatever happended in 2005 and werent reagrded as economical or otherwise to be the preffered bidder in the recent tender.
Or they will need to use another supplier who is also under investigation by an independant audit process.
Brilliant !!
What a shambles they have made of this whole affair its like amateur night.

It was recently pointed out to me that Hi Fly are also one of the constants in both contracts and you would have to question what part they play.
Some interesting decisions coming I would think.

Based on that Defence Department press release, looks like they are searching for another solution, independent of Strategic or Adagold/ Hi Fly, probably so that Defence have some distance between them & both companies when any investigations are completed

JMOVGP maintains a list of vetted charter brokers to cater for large scale operations and situations like this one. One contingency is for them to use these brokers for the period in between one contract ending and another begining. Of course there is provision to extend the current contract if that is the way they want to go. I will not add my opinion to this Scheiße sturm, but those are the facts.
Like my comment in another post how do you vet a broker who has no AOC / no aircraft / no crew / no SMS ect ect

Trojan - You are quite correct

The headhunters looking for A330/ 340 Captains suggested December screening for a Bne/ Drw base. Ccq to 340 would be bonded. 10K Euro pm. Well short of other market offerings so they have resorted to ringing around.
When they ring around I hope they are told the facts of life,pay the correct salary and the problem will be solved,easy ! If they pay peanuts they will get monkeys,or people who will be there for 5 minutes and they will be out given the first chance of a higher paying job.

I told them they were below market on salary, days off (20 on 10 off), a Drw basing, bonding for a 330/ 340 Ccq (I'm indifferent to aircraft type) & that they should call me if the terms change.

Re Tam133
Hi Tam133, when i went for the interview with Adagold it was done through a recruitment agency called Watts Personell, but this process has changed now & the interviews are done direct through Adagold... U just need to display SAFETY, TEAMWORK, and adaptability.. if you hav any questions just give me a buzz... Matt 0415 711 045
