AAI-kul
Wish that they can survive the odds and challenges of the deteriorating economic situation. Any news about their operation? Will there be a firm ground that mtnc personnel will still be intact after HAJ? I left the company 9 months ago but still interested to know something about the organization.

Is anyone willing to make a bet that the next move on the chessboard will be a proposed paycut across the board?
"We'd like to invite you to come back to work... after your unpaid VACATION.... (once we have scared the holy be-JEEZUS out of you and your families).... but we will have to cut your pay. We are very sorry, but EVERYONE will be making less for more work. It's the only way to save the company.... the company that has been so very loyal to you, the OVER-PAID crew, over the years...."
Yes, i can hear the moans now....... Muppets ! They are all muppets !
Maybe just for the ex-pats? Maybe for the "fish" as well.....??? but I'll believe that when I see it.
Hang in there, guys

Crikeys, Podunk...
Are you working for Airborne or Direct?
How The
did you figure that one out? Apparently, the termination letters are already on the way. 
No word yet as to how bad the pay-cut will be. My bet is between 10-25%
Will have to ask Boge A----sson if I ever see him again.

i'm not with Airborn OR Direct.
My friend (still with AAI temporarilly) would not send me a copy of the Airborne email, but the guys are being told they MUST take unpaid leave, AND sign a contract at reduced terms.
Looks like they will be on the beach at least til March.... I guess that's better than the SingCargo guys. Their Unpaid Leave , Voluntary of course, is a LOT longer.....

OK, what do we have so far?
All ex-pat contacts terminated (to allow for an ACROSS THE BOARD PAYCUT)
now they want them to sign a lesser contact.... AND remain on Unpaid Vacation until Iceland decides IF they will be called back afterwards.
is that a contract? or a promise? what the hell is that?

Extracted from a previous post:
Unpaid leave, terminations, contract revisions....? Guys, these are all management 'tools' to try to survive in hard economic times. Obviously, our employers are not immune to market forces. What do you expect them to do, close the doors?
How much would it cost to re-start an AOC once they declare bankruptcy?
Ask Eastern Airlines (US)......or Branniff International (nice colours).
This is still a cyclical industry, next year (2010), maybe, we can all look back at this and be proud of how we handled the crisis. For the moment, whether you work for Air Atlanta, Kingfisher, SIA or even CX, belts will have to be tightened closer to the spine. For those of you who know me, I could use a slight weight reduction anyway.
Anyway, i sincerely hope that very few people on this forum have to trade
" Ground control, XXX123, requesting start-up and clearance to SomeairfieldSomewhere", for
"would you like fries (chips for the Brits) with that order, Ma'am?"
Extraordinary times require extraordinary measures. Keep your chin up - it's easier to hit that way.
it also makes a much, much more VISIBLE target.
