European Air Charter
Heard that EAAC have made the majority of their workforce redundant again, any truth in it or is it just a rumour?

Corsair cancelled their contract and EAAC B747 operations have ceased.
B747 crews laid off with the exception of some trainers who are offered per diem rate to make use of the EAAC TRTO for 3rd party training.

Yes, the above is true
Mr S has done it again, dropped his hard working, loyal staff in the s*#t.
I was made redundant and from my inside knowledge, all efforts are being put towards Ozjet. The 747's are to be sold. The flight to JNB is the last. It would appear all the 737 229's are moving to Australia, leaving 1 737 at BOH. Eaac may acquire some more of Ryanair's scrap but hey, what's new?....Once a scrap dealer, always a scrap dealer!!!!
I believe some office staff have also been made redundant, alongside engineers but mostly crew this time.

I confirm that there is an EAAC 747 at Jo'burg. Apparently it is tied in with the motor race around Sandton City and is an operation for Stoddardt.
Sad news if this is indeed the end for many staff at BOH. I hope that they are able to find alternative employment quickly otherwise it will be a miserable Christmas for them.

Please can someone explain why I have been told when I have only posted once on this topic. The other post which
"Engineer" seems to think I posted this when it wasn't done by me and I was not aware of it being on pprune.

Topic already posted here so with two sources there may be some truth in the rumour, unless you also posted that under a pseudonym

I hear that the 747's are to be broken up, 1 at BOH the others at Kemble, and that 3 x 737's are to remain for the 2006 summer programme in the UK.
Of course this might be old news by now!!

Hi all,
Just been to the Man crew room today to pick up my final cheque.
It's true they have laid off alot of crew at Man saying that it's due to the 747 being sold off. We were also told today that all the 737s that they have at the mo are deff being sent to Australia but, that they have purchased 2 old Ryan air 73s for England.
I think most of us expected it however, the way in which they did things wasn't exectly brillient. It's a shame. All the crew were fab but, i'm sure we'll all get other jobs. We're all experts at it now! Take care all. xxxxx
