Interesting to hear all different views about RBA. Since they are so desperate for people now, would someone like myself who was born in Brunei should have a go at it?
I don't have the JAR or UK ATPL nor 500 hours on type but a Canadian ATPL.
The last time I was back there, when Fox was still running the show, told me to take a hike as I was not "local" enough to be on the cadet program.
If any could shed some light this would be appreciated.
Thanks a lot!

Hi Wings.
Yes. Present, Spoke and got a few issues aired. No promises from anyone and I wouldn't hold your breath. If things dont change I guess they will stay the same.
In LHR now. Call round for a beer next weekend sometime.

It seems some of you guys really know what you talking about regardng RBA.
I am a bit interested in joining (stepping stone) and have been in aviation for 15years+.
Been driving the 737, 767 and now rated on the Airbus 340.
Problem is I have no Comand hours even though i am 7000h+.
I have been trying to get a webadress to Richworth, but no joy.
(links in Ppjn doesn't work)
Anyone in RBA that has it?
Also has RBA ordered 340:s?
In that case maybe my own experience suits the company.

DD

There is a lot of recent turnover of pilots at RBA. Be careful what you sign up for. There has been no pay rise since the 1980,s and we only got that because we all resigned. That wouldnt work today as the BOD have already demonstrated that they are prepared to operate short of pilots rather than pay market rate and happily stand by whist some good people leave. The latest resignation was 2 days ago.
Rumour is that the Brunei DCA are about to validate Malaysian, Indonesian, Philippines licences. If that happens then RBA will not be a happy place for anyone with a UK, Aus or NZ mortgage.
SIA Cargo is a much better deal, and thats saying something.

Flap Trouble Forces RBA To Make Emergency Landing
By M K Anwar
Bandar Seri Begawan - A Royal Brunei Airlines' flight from Bangkok was reported to have made an emergency landing after its system had indicated a problem with its flap functions.
The B767 aircraft was also reported to have been hit by a fire that had broken out on the right wheel of the aircraft as it was landing at the Bangkok International Airport.
Passengers were ordered to evacuate the aircraft soon after the landing.
The RBA, when contacted yesterday, said that its BI 33 flight that departed from Bangkok on April 3 had a technical problem about an hour into its flight and had to return.
In its statement, RBA said that the Engine Indication and Crew Alert System (EICS) had indicated a problem during the flight.
Upon landing, the Bangkok Airport Tower Control (ATC) informed the captain that there was a fire on the right wheel. Flight crews onboard were unable to neither confirm nor verify this from the aircraft.
The Bulletin was told that upon landing, passengers were asked to evacuate the aircraft using the emergency slide raft. This was done following procedures based on the ATC advice at that time, said RBA.
The RBA statement also said that a thorough inspection of the aircraft later by RBA engineers found no indication there was any problem on the aircraft's flaps. Further inspections have also found no indication of fire on the wheels of the aircraft. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin

All Crew did a good job. History of leading Edge Slat assym which recurred (without any flap selection been made) in the cruise. Fuel dumped and Flap 20 landing made at BKK at night. BKK ATC reported brakefire on landing and crew really had no option other than to evacuate. A couple of pax sustained minor injuries during the evacuation.
The aeroplanes are starting to show their age. "M" and "N" are about to be dry leased and with others to go into the hangar for several weeks at a time for cabin/engine upgrades the pressure is really on to keep as many aeroplanes as possible flying the line.
The new business class seats were bought cheap from Del boy and Rodney and are causing major headaches for the engineers. About half the armrests are u/s at any one time. New IFE seems to work ok.
Interesting times.

I did before I posted. They are straight out of the RBA Boeing Manuals. Depends on whether you have twin or single jettison pumps fitted. Single pump = half dump rate. We have twin jettison pumps.
