Does anybody have or had a working relationship with IASCO. They seem very nice, but does the lamb hide the wolf?
Regards

I dont but I'd be interested in any information regarding agencies to be wary of?

5-6 years of contract flying in europe has given me a pretty good understanding on how Crew leasing Agencies are working. Want to know more? Go to www.cockpitforum.com

I have been with Iasco for over a year now. No specific complaints about them. What specifically do you want to know?

Info on their "customers" (the airlines) would be more interesting than info on IASCO, I believe...

Alapt,

Friend of mine,just went to their
office and towards his step to JPN,
seems they're okay.

Hi all,
ref: Aviator57
I can tell you of one particularly bad aircrew agency, and one that is marginal to say the least;
Badest one is IAC, stands for International Airline Crewing, established in the Sydney area, my recomendation is that you completely stay away from them, they have a very bad track record, join at your own risk.
But I must admit, they sound good on paper!

Hmm, I have heard good things about IAC, but have been screwed by IASCO.
(Did an IASCO contract some years ago and still have a bad taste in my mouth)

Been talking to IAC for awhile about a KAL contract and they seem like nice folks.
What is the problem with IAC?

Feel free to e-mail me at [email protected]

Thanks.

PS. Did a ferry contract for PARC last year and can highly recommend 'em.
Good money and everything organized. (Hotels, tickets, etc.)

DON'T DO IT....IAC is absolutely the worst of the worst. They will tell you just what you want to hear and once you've signed the contract, they're no where to be found. My advice is use someone else if you really want to go to KAL

TowerDog,

what happened with IASCO ?

[TowerDog]

IASCO changed the deal after people signed up:

They advertised for F/O's for a JAL contract at $6,800.00 per month or so.
After some 10-15 qualified folks signed up, IASCO was surprised at the response and sent us letters saying their accountants had made a mistake and the pay was really to be $6,200.00 per month.

I did not walk away then, but stayed on.
Later some of us had problems in Japan and IASCO did not lift a finger to help out.
Sold us out instead.
(In the meantime I had turned down SWA...)
Bad taste indeed.

Perhaps IASCO has changed...Don't know, doubt it.

Worked for IASCO for many years. They are more 'hands on' than most of the rest. With the (many) others around only expect to collect your money. IAC are the low payers in the KAL contract, the crews there intend to challange it. Keep away from Best.

Good luck.
