There's a guy on Airline Pilot Central forums, under foriegn carriers, who is looking for JAA and FAA Avro Captains. Don't know where the job is but it can't hurt to ask.Good luck,Jim

There are some 146/RJ jobs out there but most seem to be for experienced captains. Undoubtedly the best deal is with Swiss (PAS). However as the lease costs keep dropping and the worldwide parked fleet continues to increase (aparently now numbering in excess of 100 146's and RJ's), so I guess the chances of one or two being snapped up do increase. Try keeping abreast of the 146/RJ world at www.Smiliner.com it can be a useful source of news and info' on the airlines flying the 146.
I do hear murmerings of a 146 operation starting up in Europe this summer with one possibly two aircraft... Here's hoping.

That's not a re-incarnation of Nex Aviation, is it? The Irish carrier that was working with Aer Arann last year and stopped operating when their AOC holder, Flightline, bit the dust?
Last I heard they were trying to find another AOC to tag on to, but nobody was keen. Maybe they bought Flightline's AOC which I imagine was for sale at a knock-down price...

As far as I am aware Nex never ceased trading and therefore is still in existence albeit without crews or an AOC, but with one 146-200! I have heard that there is going to be some kind of tie up with Aer Arann for the summer, don't know any more than that. Hope it works out for them.

Yes they still show on the companies register as active.
I doubt they will be working with Aer Arann again, as Aer Arann have already announced that they will not be serving Faro and Malaga this year. Neither of those two destinations appear on the Aer Arann booking system.
Heard a rumour that they were trying to pick up some ex-Flightline work with Ford.

Those routes were operated last year as a franchise deal between Nex and Aer Arann. I believe this year it will be a different set up with different routes.
Nex would have a better chance of getting the old Fligtline IAC oil contract in ABZ (which is due for renewal June 2010) than the Ford work out of SEN, but this is a strange business and anything can happen!
Hopefully it will result in some jobs for 146 drivers.

Well they are leaving it a bit late... nothing on the Aer Arann website indicates any further alliances. Nex have precisely no chance of getting the IAC contract, unless of course thet find themselves an AOC, lots of money and a few more aircraft. I'd suspect it more likely that Eastern would "tool up" and make a concerted attempt to keep the IAC work.
I'm guessing that it will stagger on for while yet, but ultimately their 146 will end up being parted out...

Glad to see theres some progress in the market. Im a 146 FO currently out of work. I have resorted to working through a list of 146/RJ operators and firing cv's at each one. Hopefully something will come of it
