I have to agree with Flight Detent. I too was with AAI for a few years and left about the same time. Again, the only thing keeping AAI going is the crews. There will be another incident, that's a fact, and the sad part is at some point in time, the contracts AAI has will be in trouble and then it's the people who kept the whole operation going that will bear the brunt of the fallout.
I left and I have never looked back either, going there served it's purpose at the time, but I am so glad to be gone.
Eurocaptain, CV may do line MX on the aircraft, but they don't maintain it at all. That's up to AAI and the MX is done at GAMCO (PEK) or FLS in Dublin

Looks like anything to do with AAI bring the usual S.hit disturbers out of the woodworks.
Repeating same old slogans, BOOOORING. Change the record gents. You have not been here for a while and things are not the same they where 2 to 3 years ago or what they indeed where 7 or 8 years ago.

Hit a tender nerve there? It would appear so! Enjoy yourself there!!!! I enjoyed the pilots I worked with, they are the backbone of AAI. But, as I said earlier, I've never looked back!
There is life after AAI!!!!

Hang on, Canadair,
I flew for AAI for several years on their B747 fleet, pax and freight, 100s, 200s and 300s, and got them out of several tight situations in my time!
All I managed to get in return was a severe kick in the teeth each time, or totally ignored, after the crisis was over and I was no longer needed.
I left them in eary 2003 from their KL base, and never looked back!
I know quite a bit about the operations of AAI, and also know that the aircrews are the only thing holding the company together!
I don't like them at all either, not one bit, and let anybody thats interested know that, and exactly how that fact came to be!
FD I also worked for Them and did not like Them either but that is hardly the point,My point about 411As post was that He ALWAYS blames the maintenance as I was involved in the maint.for over 4 years I know all about it,i think 411A has forgotten about the Nigeria "incident" and not to forget a certain Capt who could not get any of His A/Ps to engage(all 3) so dumped fuel (Jed-Indonesia)only to discover the manual command knob was at one side and the Crew who had an engine flame-out and forget to turn the fuel off which overtemped the engine(approaching MAD) a certain other Canadian Pilot who tried to line up on the landing runway at Las Vegas(I was in the cockpit of that one)I could go on and on but You know, know one is perfect We have to get away from the blame everything on maintenace culture after all how many times have You seen maint.come on here and blame the flight Crew?and lastly the tail scrape(EMA?)I guess that was caused by maint. also!!!!
