Question

If they are intending to do the Haj with this aircraft, then I hope they will be getting a few more than three crews for it! Somehow, I don't think that the CAA will wear the excuse that 2 months x 150 hours flying = the same as 3 months x 100 hours!!

Expect the AOC to be signed shortly...
Air Floyle are not doing the Ops for Prime.

3 crews per A/c is going to be a problem if they are intending to make money from ad-hoc. Considering the EMA base and expecting most work from the charter market i.e MAN/LGW..well thats 2 extra sectors positioning the A/c..plus say a TFS/LPA/DLM...errr, let hope they get assigned an understanding Ops Inspector!!!

Guv, guess that means we can expect them to follow the same "career" path as VS??

Have "Prime" not missed the bus (forgive the pun) with this exercise as they have now missed at least 2 prime months for ad hoc work.

If they could fly they would be making money especially given that Tradewinds have not appeared at EMA this year and there is a need for ad hoc operators. It would definetly be better for them to have 5 crews to keep up with the work which could be thrown at them !

Here that H&P have got competion from real pikeys in the new office carpark, although from looking at the building it looks like a reject from prisoner cell block H with a distinct lack of windows....

Cool

HLA's new office was all lit up on Wednesday. Were the decorators in? They won't need aircon though, all the windows had been put in..

What aircraft are they looking at? How about the Belfast at RAF Cosford...

Hi FM

Job at SITA panned out after the interview saying the money for the position was recinded by the beancounters, therefore no money no vacancy. Still looking though, maybe Air Antique or further north as there are too many chiefs and not enough indians here with ops stuck in the middle.

Heard about the new offices, not surprised about the windows with a lot of pikeys in the back, surprised that there is any building left. Still no news on when we move though.... but we'll probably get to know the day before!!

Heared from a Prime cabin crew member that they were told "They have no need to worry as they have the heavylift finances behind them"!
