Air Contractors - changes at the top
Rumour has it that Hugh Flynn, the CEO of Air Contractors is returning to South Africa and being replaced by a chap fron Canada (First Air I believe).
A shame if it is true as Flynn is a first class CEO who looks after his guys and generally runs a first class outfit.
Also a shame that they could not promote from within but I suppose that once TCR had jumped ship they really did not have a realistic internal option.
Good luck to all at ACL. I hope that the new guy continues to run it as it has been run since the Safair takeover in 98.

Tilii,
The same thought crossed my mind. It would be interesting to hear from some of the ACL pilots to find out how the DHL startup affects them? I spoke to one ACL pilot the other day who thinks the DHL startup is already doomed to failure due engine problems on the converted B757's. Anyone know any more?

Seriously doubt the engine problem rumour. Let's face it, the mods are being carried out in Seattle, and who better to do them, of course.
However, the chat you had with the ACL pilot suggesting this rumour may well be indicative of something else; perhaps sour grapes/wishful thinking on the part of those whose hoped for future will not now materialise.
