FAS

FAS shuts down .............wouldn´t surprise me at all

No CP, a training guy stucked in the past with no skill to catch the realtime szenario, pilots with capacity who got kept down and no upgrade is one view of the companies attitude with an allknowing mickeymouse CP-supstitute

a sheik who suddenly won a contract not able to handle it, sling ops where only view pilots where able to handle it and a former CP who wasnt 412 rated, neither an IR , ATPL-pilot or Off-Shore experience to work in Zakum but dictating the Off_shore ops can only lead to this point !

I am sorry for the Pilots, good guys out there, but on the top incompetence is everywhere, sad but typicall for the emirates where special people due to the hirachie they hold in the UAE made to chiefs.

Traffic! Traffic!

No one who has not worked with ADA, FAS, Gulf etc., can ever imagine what gross incompetence and nepotism really mean. As long as that is the case there will always be a steady stream of optimists applying for jobs there to replace the steady stream of disillusioned realists leaving - voluntarily or otherwise.

Good luck in Nigeria. The words frying pan and fire do spring to mind though.

They need to remove the people that are keeping the organisation down.
Changes in B. Development and Engineering are needed immediately.
The company will continue to stagnate as long as these types are sneaking around.

It has been a while since anyone has posted here.
I see FAS is hiring again or at least some positions are posted. Anyone that can shed any light in to the current situation at location?

Hey Slingking!

Either go back to school and finish grade 3 or have another drink!
Your spelling is as bad as your attitude. Obviously FAS didn't offer you employment based on your level 2 ELP. Don’t make assumptions about a company you know nothing of. Staff turnover is minimal, certainly things could be better. By the way how is your outfit?
Maybe you should change your username to "Singking".
For the record, I'm not employed by FAS!

The idiots at Falcon never cease to amaze me.

The latest decision by the Lebanese Hairdresser COO is mind blowing - make redundant the one person who is responsible for bringing all the new contracts in through the door

AJ Baker has been there nearly since the start and was the one key lynchpin in keeping the company above water. Those that know him how much be lived and breathed Falcon. Lets see how long before the company implodes

Its amazing what the meddling from the Private office of SBK achieves, they have outdone themselves this time.

The idiots at Falcon

All I can say is it's about time he went, lets wait and see the real reason why he was fired. A fox can not always hide his tracks.

I think you might mean ... "they might be looking for an EC130 pilot" for their Dubai Heli tours task.
