Ahhh...sorry Janne, quite right poor choice I realize, now I don't know what to call them, what a dilemma, I'll have to come up with a new category.

And Nippon1, I send you & yours my regards, I got your e-mail, hope all is well there, and yes you sure got delt a bad hand by AAI a few months ago, wrong people got fired, talk about shooting the messenger. :sad:

Hey, . . are you the guys who eat Hákarl, the putrified shark meat; and drink Brennivín, the schnapps made from fermented potato pulp...? :p

Rumour on the street the Etihad contract is ending

Just heard about this thread

Is there any update on this - we have two airbuses here in AUH - I know contract is due for renewal with Etihad - have we lost this contract as well ? Time to dust off the CV me thinks ??

From what I hear, that contract is ending in June. Subject to change as usual.

CODHEAD.....

Just don't be surprised by the sheer numbers of CV's on desks ahead of yours. Lots of guys, "released" in Jan/Feb by AAI will be ahead of you !

kEEP THE FAITH, maybe AAI will survive this, maybe not.

Etihad Contract ends 31st May
 

Heard that AAI have definately lost the Etihad contract at the end of May - time to be sending off the CV's to Maximus as they have picked up the contract - guess this makes sense for Etihad to feed another UAE company and maybe AAI should have seen it coming...

Well this is bad news to say the least, and as for AAI should have seen it coming, well what do you expect from the codheads up there.

All run by a mothers club and feminists, with young kids in VP postions who have no experience or a real education most likely, and the others in operations etc that send e-mails to each other and NOT talking all the while being in the same room, how can you build a first class company with this kind of philosophy.

So what is left now, SV and MH, don't suppose any one from Sales & Marketing if you can call it that, are doing anything except sitting in their offices staring at computer screens waiting (hopeful) for someone to come through the door offering a contract like a rabbit out of a hat, may Allah bless them, AAI will need it, I don't suppose I can expect a re-call anytime soon hey.:sad:

Those were the days !

Wow, that's still in the old "Horny Viking" Logo !

Just heard that 8 FE´s and 7 FO´s are joining SV in May - guess it´s time to dedust alle the CBT´s on the rock. Good news for line trainers.

Good for them :):):)

Mutt

Hey Mutt.....

Was that comment directed at the guys "upgrading" to real jobs at SV or for the newbies taking their places with AAI?

Ya gotta wonder!

Znote, how could that possibly be good news for the line trainers?

It would just mean a fresh batch of snot-nosed, white-rubber booted, Ice-kids off the trawlers with 4oo hours TT.

Good news and good luck to the guys joining SV and getting out of that quagmire AAI :ok:, I hope none of the codheads got a look in, as they are useless and only function when surounded by their own kind, anyway no one in their right mind would offer anyone 2 weks on and 4 weeks off as part of a contract.:rolleyes:

Does anyone know if any Capts. are among the new hires with SV? It would be nice to see AAI scrambling for several productive... replacement crews.

Heard they were not recruiting for Captains this round.

THX for the PM, Mutt... answered my Q ! Age is correct, perhaps the reason. :{

edited to include ..............: Confirmed..... several very highly qualified "Sith Ifrican" F/E's did not get interview invitations due to being over 55.

Hope SVA changes to align with FAA age-65 regs soon.
