Chief Training Captain

As this is a rumour network, I have heard that PremiAir's Chief Training Captain has left the company, not sure if that was their choice or not. Anybody out there got any more info?

The company have been open with this, all pilots and UEOs have had a newsletter explaining the situation. In this free country, he has chosen to go, so good luck!! Whoever takes over..... Can you make the OPCs easier please, I had to work in the past, I don't like working for a living

I think the letter went firstly to the members of the Police and Utility Group. I don't know what the Head of Training had to do with the Charter and Management side so I don't know if you will get the same info.

Certainly he has incurred the wrath of PremiAir Aviation Group. Will he ever recover?

The silence is deafening Either I have been misinformed or nobody will admit to giving him a job!

If the reorganisation at PremiAir is no secret, would someone care to enlighten us?

There is no reorganisation scandal to whet the appetite. Ollie got the job with the CAA (edited to Home Office!!) and needs a replacement, Russ has 'put his notice in' and needs a replacement. He has told some of the chaps that he has a job offer, but wants to keep it to himself. I believe the only problem is the 'sudden' resignation will leave us short. Get your applications in asap and please reread my above post..... go easy on us poor hard worked pilots!!

Sorry, a slip of the tongue I should have said the fun police (anyone in authority)
Both, will be a sad loss to the company in my opinion

iI don't work for PremiAir but I did do a conversion course with Russ. By 'eck he's bloody thorough. Certainly made operating the beast on my own a lot easier.

Good luck to the lad. Me first with the telescopic pointer though!!

Heard Russ went for ollie's job but Prem air could give him the answer quick enough after the interview, as he had another job offer from a competitor.
My contact at PAS said it's not them. Any takers for 007.
Defense of Prem air is how can they give somebody an offer of a job when they have further interviews planned. Sounds like the pressure from Russ had a flaw in it.

I recall that Starspeed had an ad in Flight Int recently. That sounds like the sort of company that would use an experienced TRE/IRE.

I hear CHC Scotia are looking for a new Chief Pilot for Aberdeen, maybe a move up North was a lucrative offer?

Get your thinking caps on and study aeromys' contribution, (post #10), a bit more closely.

Just to clarify the rumour a little…

At the time I decided to hand in my notice at PremiAir, I had options, but no job offer set in concrete/stone/written in blood, - that was the reason I decided to keep things a little private. Fortunately things have now moved on.

For those in the sweepstake…. If you have the name of a company that has a ‘company car’ that is 2.756 times quicker than my current one, you’re in the money.

Oh, and if you see an advert early next year for a 4 year old Celica “one careful owner” etc. Check the history!

Hardy Bee,

You have finally lowered yourself to our standard. Welcome to PPrune! (Didn't realise you were that old!)

Now I know where you are off I get your clue but aeromys is still a mystery.....unless it is the colour??????

As to the Celica, are you sure about the 2.756 times quicker? I'm sure you said that it was quicker than that at 2am on the A50.

Regards,

FNW

Then again the car was only in 5th gear when the record was set!.. so the numbers may still be o.k.?
