About Time they pack and leave

What an unsafe operation . this season alone in saudi 4 blown tires in Abha station.
Another incident of blown tires in Lahore. It is about time the whole outfit shuts down.

No safety oversight and very poor management. the priority is profit compromising safety just for profit. The list goes on and on .

Silly Goose: or should that be Silly Tw*t ?

How, exactly, is a dodgy tyre re-tread supplier in the KSA equated to AAI being an "unsafe operation"?

Saudia sends the AAI birds up to Abha (3H .. High, Hot & Heavy) for the sole reason that the SAUDIA guys refuse to fly up there with a heavy-weight 747. T'was ever so...... as far back as I remember in my numerous tenures in Rose Village (remember that sh*thole?)

Anyway, this thread is about the "brave, young" souls out to redress the contract woes of a great number of dedicated..... yes, And PROFESSIONAL! .... guys and gals working for one of the largest and most successful ACMI operators in the world. What's your beef?

Anyone heard of anyone actually using the "sick-out" ploy to hasten their contract termination yet? Today is the day!

Let the rest of us know, so we can allocate the overtime bonuses about to be generated !

Where did you get this idea from????? If you happened to look at the number of 747 operations into Abha, you will find that AAI operate a very small percentage of them!!!! As for HEAVY???? There are almost ZERO international flights into Abha, how can you be heavy?

Very quiet at the moment.

Hear the instigator, called the "sick out" on his day off. Nice one that. Obviously Chief pilot material.

Is it the same nationality (chosen race) as the 2 "chief pilots" of 2004??
