Saudia HR:ok:keep on going!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D

AAI, everything goes around comes around,its your turn..what do you expect?

Good bloke young Bruce, except he barracks for Essendon!;)

Interesting that most of the whingers on this thread,complaining about AAI, couldn't get a job with any other Company.

Being brutally honest, the only "bad" thing about AAI is the uncertainty of one's longevity with the Company. That,unfortunately,is the same with ALL wet lease operators - your job is only as good as the next contract!:ok:

This was tried with a few Captains, Italian types from Phuket Air,
Same thing different day, less than 1 year ago.
This letter did end up in HR with Saudia, the Italian Captains were never hired after there sim checks,
I hope Saudia HR learned something from this.
If crews are furloughed and AAI or Phuket has no more work for them then they are free to go.
Saudia is a real company, not ACMI type, with contracts that are followed.
You may hear a lot of bad things about Saudi Arabia on here, but rarely ever about how the crews are treated.
Give it up AAI, you don't have any work, let these people go and pay there bills!
I am really shocked to hear this, AAI was a marginal half way decent company years ago, what happened?
If you wish to keep crews on standby then you should be paying them to stay!
Cant have it both ways!
Surprised you even have the audacity to try!

Whiskery (I would lay off it if I were you)

"Interesting that most of the whingers on this thread,complaining about AAI, couldn't get a job with any other Company."

Hang on a minute sport.

When I kicked AAI into touch I have never looked back and am still gainfully employed thank you very much. Doing 100 hours per year max, flying corporate on decent pay. I work for company who values their employees and treats them like human beings. AAI was the worst company I ever worked for because of the lies and the cancerous nepotism, to name just few.

The present outfit I work for have their faults but AAI could offer me double the pay and I still would tell them to take a running jump, in the extremely unlikely event I would be asked.

You see I get paid to stick around.

Oh BTW I did not need a validation when I worked at AAI.

SVA didnt hire ANY 747 Captains in the last year, plus you might discover that at least 1 of the Italians was recently hired to a different fleet.

Mutt

The rest are with Midex.

weido salt - so after your time in AAI you secured a corporate flying job. Why not the corporate job on 100 hours per year before you joined AAI?

You wouldn't get a job with AAI flying 100 hours a year!:rolleyes:

My point is you can get a job with AAI with very little experience and build up hours on wide body heavy transport aircraft. Unfortunately, you have to take the **** for a while to get enough experience to enjoy the spoils of a job you now have.:D

These "attributes" lay within most ACMI operations. Get used to it or get out - sad fact !:ugh:

"Why not the corporate job on 100 hours per year before you joined AAI?"

Don't know, luck of the draw I guess. Please be assured, my situation was desperate at the time, that is why I joined AAI. Any port in storm, as the old saying goes. I do hope I am never in the same situation where I have to even contemplate resorting to the likes of AAI. In fact I would give up aviation, if I was reduced to that level again. :)

"Get used to it or get out."

Get used to it? Not me mate. S**t on me and I walk, as I am nobodies whore and don't intend to be. I bend over for no one :=

So it was OK to be a "whore" whilst you were desperate but not by choice now you have your comfortable corporate job.

That's the whole point - You have to be desperate to work for AAI and when they give you a job, instead of toughing it out, you bitch about trivialities like "the lies and the cancerous nepotism" - GIVE ME FRIGGIN BREAK!:ugh:

Don't ever recall insinuating I did any work. Was "there" for a (remunerated) period of time, that's all you need to know.

They didn't s:mad:w me.

Before you attack that unfortunate keyboard again, don't assume.

Yeah, right.

They didn't s:mad:w me
Yeah, right!

Wow !!!!
 

Complains to SV because they hired F/E's that were stuck in assam? Now that really shows how low they think about contractors !!! Shame on AAi !!! How low can you go?

Not only that Urraca,Capt,F/O's and F/E's at home since months without any income;this is what AAI calls "being flexible"
That's why we leave this :mad: flying club!!!!!
SV:D

At least in SV, the new FE's can sit around for months with an income :ok::ok:

For those readers who are ex AAI, be informed that ex CEO Hafthor Hafstiensson - "Haffi" - was killed in a light aircraft accident in Iceland at the weekend - I understand the aircraft hit a power cable. He was very much instrumental in bringing AAI from a 2 aircraft Hajj operator to what was a 50 aircraft company.

So HE was the brains behind AAI???

Current management seem to be determined to drive the company back to a 2-plane operation!!!

R.I.P. "Haffi"

Well of course the current management want to drive it back to a 2 plane operation...what else can they do when you have to employ stupid cod-head pilots to work for you. AAI was built to a almost 30 aircraft company when they had lots of contracrors working for them who knew what it takes to make a company work and knew what loyalty meant, the cod-head pilots as usual go out of their way to poison everything they touch.:sad:

I just saw a photo with an Air Atlanta Icelandic 74F at Byrno, and it was stated that it was flying for MasKargo. Do they normally fly to Byrno, and where do the 747-200F usually fly? (via Air Atlanta Icelandic) What are the conditions? Cheers!

where is Byrno? what is its code

Racist remarks.
 

Why does it seem as it is acceptable on this website to use quite freely racist remarks and slangs ?

Now it is quite clear and obvious that jumbolloyd has a big issue with AAI and maybe few of my fellow countrymen, but how in the world does this website and its moderators allow him to use words like "Cod-Heads" and "IceNiggers" when talking about us ?I know you'll not find the latter word because I reported it and it was removed but not before that like it should be. And shame on the rest of you for not thinking anything of this!

No one would get away using what is now considered derogatory slang about peoples nationality like used for Chinese, Mexican, Italian, Polish and whatnot.
Why should it be any different for us?..

I have been a member of this site for quite some time now and have on most occasion admired how it is control and how valuable, informative and respectful most replies are until now.

I admit that I have complained about this use of "Cod-Heads" or "Fish-Heads" and it has not been considered worthwhile to reply to me, let alone remove them from this discussion.

What do you think ?
