AAI SACKS 100's of Pilots

As of 6pm today, emails have gone out to 100s of guys.

Some contracts seem to have been lost.


If anyone knows of an opening for a 6000hr B747 typed FO with 1600 on the jumbo, please PM.

Thanks

Ohh.....You thought AAI and it's agents would honour your contract when it didn't suit them....how quaint!!!

I had a similar adventure with IAC when Air Pacific stopped overnight, during the political coupe back about the year 2000!

Good Luck,

We have a club? Is that like a union? Can I grieve this?

Just kidding, it was a kick in the nuts 3 hrs ago after hanging out at the Beach in Mo Wou today, but it'll work out.

Sorry to hear about the troubles at AAI. Which contracts did they loose? Are you send on 'vacation' or terminated? For those US pilots on the 747 who are let go PM me and I might be able to help some of you in the near future.

Jerry says that AAI called it a layoff, but he is making it a termination so we can get the 2 weeks pay. The re start is set for Mayish for us, but not firm.........

What you don't like Canadians ???

Seriously, there are a lot of jobs at Southern, Focus, ect... The American group should fare well

Sad news guys. I hope you all find work soon before they get a chance to take you back on. In that way they have to spent a fortune on training new people It's a cancer that crept in over the years. Furlowed they call it in the states.

When I look back at the number of people that walked out on that lot at AAI, they didn't care less. That money that was wasted could have been spent on keeping some of you on over the bad times. A very poor company indeed, in my view. Their staff relations I thought were appalling. I guess they are so stupid, to think that when staff are re hired they will have the same dedication.

Saudia is also looking for Cockpit Ground Instructors all equipment.
Also a few other 747 jobs listed in the USA.
Sorry to hear the bad news.

I downloaded the APP. IS there a quicker way than mailing it, to get them to review it?

I though it was more like 20 crews. Where did you see more? How did they decide who was let go... by base... time of service.... what? I was just talking to an engineer last night and he found out that they are letting go 40 ground engineers. Sad day all round. Good luck to all that have been let go.

Any clue to which contracts have been lost?

All the best to those affected.
