I've heard a few of their ex pilots are going to hit them up for award entitlements not paid going back a few years And if they do, I sincerely hope they get every cent that they SHOULD HAVE BEEN PAID IN THE FIRST PLACE! :ouch: CR |
Ho hum, another chest beating, mutual back-slapping session, and cement-eating contest...
Well done I say, and solid career prep for sure - for taking it up the arse until retirement. Your colleagues thank you one and all. :ugh: How many times can it be said and ignored?! You won't leave it behind in GA mate - if you encourage and foster it there, it will follow you for your entire career. Maybe you can offer some of your left over cement to Operators, so they can harden up and pay their staff properly. How many clients got discounts, because they said "gee, your aircraft sure are pretty!" :hmm: Thought so... How about you harden up, and have some self respect while you're at it. Respect your skill set, and the work/money/sacrifices you did/spent/made to get your ticket. Righto, FLAME AWAY, I've said my bit. CR. |
Am I hallucinating here? I'm actually a little confused and might sign off for good as I think there are a few knuckle heads passing comment here.
A company obtaining a government loan...and people are rejoicing in their struggle? People getting ICUS and people PPRuners canning the company? Give me a break! So where is the happy medium? If companies like Tasair go under, apart from the immediate impact, what happens to the employees...not just the pilots. Honestly, I don't get it. I am not aligned to any company but I read these forums with mild bemusement. Do any of you guys honestly believe that any of these regionals are making millions....? If you want to take up the fight, take it up with QANTAS or another major. Having a go at Tasair about icus is bull shiber. Hopefully that is it on the subject. |
G'day anon mouse,
Fair enough, I agree with you in that we don't want to see any of these companies going under, as it reduces competition and affects lives and makes it harder for employees and all. I understand they are trying to do the right thing by all and hope they do okay in a challenging industry. Hopefully another GFC not coming. Next few years are going to be interesting....... |
Interesting
Recently, there was message on these forums requesting advice on obtaining flight training in Tasmania. In none of the replies was Tasair recommended,despite its position as the best equpped school in the region. Guess I won't be sending them a resume either 35k for an initial :ugh: |
any truth in the rumour that the bank run contract is about to come to an end and not being renewed?
|
It has been said that Toll (who I believe are the contracting party) are taking over the run from the end of June. I do not know if the contract is being awarded to another party or they are going to do the run themselves. Given that the run is able to be done in a Chieftain then anything bigger on the run would be overkill in terms of capacity.
|
That's a lot of presumably profitable flying which is about to dry up. 30-35 hours per week? That's gotta hurt.
Could be even more problematic if a certain airline spreads it's wings across to the other Bass Straight Island |
Toll about to start running their metro from Hobart to Melbourne via Launy very soon, word on the street is that the bank plane will go as well.

fanning, you may well be on to something there. I have heard rumours that the paper work for such a run is being prepared now.
|
I heard a metro belonging to a certain Victorian company going into King a while back, I take it this is who you are talking about
|
That company have had a few charters to King Island this year from LST. Interestingly REX have flagged the island as one of the routes they are looking to withdraw from which has caused a stir on the island today!
“The very high fuel price is making the situation quite untenable and all airlines are compelled to put in place rigorous measures to remain profitable. As foreshadowed in the earlier media release, the Rex Board has carried out a review of its network and has identified a number of routes that may not be sustainable should the situation degrade further especially in light of the Federal Government’s decision to significantly reduce its contributions to regional air services throughout Australia from 1 July 2012.” The routes identified are: Sydney-Taree Sydney-Grafton Sydney-Moruya Sydney-Bathurst Melbourne-Griffith Melbourne-King Island Melbourne-Merimbula Rex has started briefing some stakeholders of these communities and will provide ample notice when the final decision is made. |
Heard a couple of titans flying to KII today ..., one has a pretty sharp paint scheme on it :zzz:
|
Time to upgrade the BAe31 to a nice BAe 32EP!
|
Where has SMQ gone?
They seem to be operating on 1 PA-31 at the moment ... MZI had to return to DPO with some tech issue yesty. What ever happened to LTW? Lucky they don't have to do the bank run now :8 |
So now that the bankrun/seafood has gone to toll, does this spell the end of the whole bull**** paying for ICUS scheme with tasair?
|
Still NO sign of SMQ again today.
Will be interesting to see what Sharp do with their spare Metro's once they discontinue their MQL services. If they were to attack KII ... I wonder if it would be just ESS-KII or if KII-Mainland Tassie as well? |
I've heard Sharp are considering Wynyard - King Island ... don't know about the Melbourne leg though, would be tricky while the established operators were there ... Tasair didn't last long on KII - EN
|
I dont think ny operator would survive the KII-EN leg unless Rex pulls out. It would be hard to compete with them. KI Airlines is well established with their RPT and freight to back it up.....
|
so like something such as ... Rex may sever King Island link Tasmania News - The Mercury - The Voice of Tasmania :hmm:
