Cargorat!
Are you working for Cargolux? If you are (or if you are not but know anyway), could you tell if they are recruiting now and what criterias they prefer and who to adress. Iīve tried to get info on the net about C.L but didīt manage to get it.

Rat,Swiss Global Cargo or SGC is part made up of the former ASB.It is a daughter company of Panalpina.It is jointly owned 55% Panalpina and 45% SAir Group.The former air division of ASB was incorporated into the new company.I am in the UK for now.

SGC, fair enough. You know where I am from my profile. You also know that PAN/SGC have 100s of employees at ellx. Seems to me your company cannot make up its mind what to call itself. You will be Panalpina until you make up yr minds.
Yr handling agent in Lux is not quite sure what to call you...Please decide!\

Greetins geh55,
sorry for not answering earlier. My understanding as follows:
N750SJ always operated for SAA - a superb aircraft (-200 series/very low OEW -7R engines with a -300 wing). It was flying SA6213; CPT/WDH VIT (LEVT) LUX (ELLX). Ex SIA?
PAN/SGC: I know one of your ex-Lux guys in PIK..

sorry cargo rat I'm not ignoring you-just that rather boringly I have to go to work...and no I'm not a Nigel!
Events have overtaken the post as, thanks largely to a superb campaign by the Independent Pilots Association, the DETR (as akwah rightly states) have refused to allow BA permission to continue with this.
Although there has been some US/UK friction evident in this thread, this is a good decision for pilots on BOTH sides of the Atlantic. It is not in any of our interests to have a merchant navy style free for all.

Rumour control:
That one of BA's -236' to be sold to "Atlas UK" (presumably a fictional company).
The machine mentioned was XO - not one of the Combis but to the spec, sans door, and capable of 379,202kg MTOW.
Not likely, but possible.
Further rumour, not confirmed to me, is that a certain ex 747/777/SSC chief pilot to become involved with this alleged operation. I think that's a spoiler to stop anyone from BA wanting to work for the outfit.....

You might find that 379.2 is max ramp weight for the -200.
ShotOne: Atlas is out, so that ends that part of the discussion. Now I have a question - haven't you (or the IPA) been a bit selfish? BA doesn't have a freighter fleet, and won't be able to be a viable force in the market in the near future - it takes time.
UK customers now have no choice but to put all their freight on a truck, and send it over to places like LUX/FRA/CDG/SPL etc etc where there are large freigher fleets operating. And believe me, thats exactly what is happening. The UK cargo that BA would have carried, IS being carried by the likes of Cargolux/Air France Cargo/Lufthansa Cargo/KLM - the list goes on.
I think your hurting yourselves in the long run. All that freight is a lot of jobs going abroad.
