Weiss5,
Who the hell are you to say such a thing - do you work for Globespan?
Globespan has it's share of problems (poor scheduling, some abnormally long duties), but to say this ship is sinking fast is a bit of an over reaction. Come on man, have some perspective!

Globespan seems good to me.
Lucky Jet2 are part of the Dart group, wonder how the profits would look if they wer'nt part of the dart group. Would'nt be good I reckon.
Jet 2 A/c. Classics. Average age. 15 - 20 years + ?? Can JET 2 afford NG's??
Globespan. Ng's 1-3 Years Old, Dreamliner on Order.
Globespan. Ltd company, Good winter ACMI's + Long term ACMI, good loads for short haul.
Seems to me Globespan is in a very good position, granted they made a loss last year. This years looking good.
Does'nt look like a sinking ship to me.
Globespan seems the better choice to me

I think you'll find you are mis-informed. I think you'll find they weren't one of the first, a one of the MAN based biggies had theirs revoked in the late 90's. GSM handed theirs in voluntarily.

Evidence please. NOT unsubstantiated rumour, cold hard facts please..
Just a general 'heads up', the mod's watch this forum & any 'scaremongering' usually results in the thread being pulled. Check out 'FlyGlobespan 7' and read the mod's warning & read 'FlyGlobespan 8' if you need any information.
I've been here for 2 1/2 years & enjoy it. It's so good it's stopping me from re-joining EK after returning to the UK for a period of compassionate leave of absence.
Financially sound, making profit, CAA happier with the new management's style & record. Plenty of seats sold for next seasons schedule ex-UK & plenty of long & medium term ACMI contracts to see us through the dark times ahead for aviation. I'm staying here. Enough said.

True about Jet2 having old tramp machines but our loads are good and we're making money ... good going in this climate.
I'd not like to see Globespan going under .. friends there tell me that they're turning it around so that's good!

Abort,
To try and bring your thread back on topic.
The figures you see on PPJN are correct and current. If you're a PAYE guy then the £2.10 duty pay is tax free and applicable from the moment you check in until you're duty period ends. What's published on PPJN is pretty much what you get.
For a Contractor, obviously things are not the same but Wynnwith and Zenon are the agencies that GSM deal with, so that's where you will get your information.
As for the company, don't get me wrong, GSM is not BA. But, the planes are decent and the routes are OK. If you're a Capt on the 737 fleet then your roster won't be as stable as you'd like. FO's on the 737 fleet have a stable roster. The 75/76, because it's short of flight deck crew is under the cosh at the minute. But once the additional crew is employed, no doubt things will settle down.
The company culture itself is excellent. There have been many threads on here that have been "cut" because of GSM bashing and believe me, that "cut" is warranted. It's not a bad company to be a part of. The one criticism I have is there is sometimes a lack of effective communication from within and as a Capt (737) your roster is often changed. Having said that, your days off are set in stone, what changes is the sectors you fly on days you were going to be at work anyway.
There's far worse out there mate!

Your OP begs the question. Are you jumping or switching ships? Something I wouldn't be contemplating myself at the moment. Unless of course, your current employer is that horrible.

The Goon, I think that this year is predicted to be profitable for many airlines. The real problem is 2009. But then again, managements in all companies do prefer the employees to be a little scared.

I hadn't quite realised what a nasty industry aviation has become, or at least certain elements within it.
Why on earth would you post threads gloating over whether or not another company is going to fail or succeed in the present economic climate, it has always been a tough industry for those of us who have been in it long enough, but for the last 10 years or so we have been lucky enough to have had this sustained period of growth, now there is a correction taking place.
All this talk of my company is more financially sound than yours or my aircraft is newer than yours should be confined to the playground where, it is obvious some of these individuals belong.
Can we not just wish every airline and its employees the best of luck in the present economic environment and that hopefully we will see you all on the other side in a year or two's time.
