Have been reliably informed of management seeking information on who is posting what on here. Someone is definately sharpening the knives so watch what you post.
Anyone know what Mrs EM has had.

You resign, trying to give as much notice as humanly possible. And all they do is sting you for a months pay. Really does make you wonder why you make the effort. Certainly would be simpler to just pack your bag and go.
But I suppose most of us pilots do try to do the right thing. Be it our down fall.

Hi
My initials have been quoted so I must respond.
Back off!
I am faithfully and honestly attending to my own affairs.
How can that be the business of others?
Go ahead if you must, but recall that a few pages back this was quoted as a useful thread.

Hung like a horse,
Sorry to have missed you after our conversation last week with a relative in attendance. I am no longer in BWN but would like to thank all with whom I have worked over the last 14 months for the assistance and challenges. I would also like to thank the guys in QA.
Blacksheep, this afternoon, I had a pint of the eponymous beer - grand! (If any pilots or A & C engineers are wondering what eponymous means, get in touch.).
See you all - please keep in touch!

Bus, that 'eponymous' is the Right Stuff for sure, but right now I'd even settle for a pint of that Green Ming stuff. Paper shuffling sure makes you thirsty but there's precious little relief over here 
FYI, FC [the Kiwi 'Frog'] is already fixed up somewhere close to your new position.

ok, back to some news.
Why if this company is in such dire straits have we still got (according to BB) the Airbus A319's still on order. I know the deposit has been paid and is not refundable, but surely someone must come to the conclusion these new aircraft will cost alot of money. Or perhaps is there finally a long term recovery plan with a whole new fleet (dreaming).

Bus 429, wishing you all the very best in your future endeavours. We still have to crack a tinnie together one of these days. Still enjoying my retirement, keep in touch and send me your new email. Cheers.

Just a Thought.
J.F. B.P. G.W. & G.B. were the 4 pilots sacked.
B.P. G.W. & G.B. were S.F.O.s
RBA "saved money" by dismissing these 4 pilots.
They didn't sack any more presumably because they thought they needed all the other pilots.
Since then;
A.M. has been sacked due to his illness (get well soon mate).
E.M. left on leave and didn't come back.
G.W has resigned.
3 S.F.O.s sacked
then 3 S.F.O.s quit.
presumably we are now 3 S.F.O.s short.
I wonder if RBA would consider offering B.P. G.W & G.B. there jobs back to cover the 3 S.F.O.s who have gone since the sackings.

I agree with BananasBananas
Great party, if only to hear a certain well endowed horse singing along to a particularly bad song.
Nice to see everyone get together and have a good time regardless of the current troubles.

Thanks Raster, I'm not used to having people agreeing with me.
In the unlikely event that Rod Lynch views this forum it would be opportune to remind him that he has the opportunity to retain a professional, experienced, dedicated and generally happy bunch of expats if only we can feel that we are being treated equitably. You will get far more out of us by reinstating increments, allowances and medical benefits in the short term, and totally reinventing the salary in the long term than you will by trying to save $260pcm per expat.
Lets see, next trip is KUL; that'll be 18 tonnes then!
