Ford Air Stansted
 

Is there any truth in the strong rumour that the above will be pulling out of the operation and awarding it elsewhere. It would seem a logical step considering that the company has been operating for nearly 40 years and it is difficult enough selling there cars let alone running a small airline.

Can't actually give you a factual answer to your question. However, I have observed that all FOB flights from our local airport have recently been operated by other operators (mainly Titan BAe 146 and Excel B737-800).

Rumour has it that pilots are not wanting to fly until Ford's recently declared Worldwide Redundancies are sorted out.
In the meantime, all flying is contracted out and I also believe FordAir is noticing the difference money-wise!

Something to do with their own Feet and Bullets, methinks.

Rumour has it that the thread's been goin' on for some weeks! :E

Rigga,
You're talking out of your ar*e...........utter :mad:

When you know real facts then post them, until then keep your stupid mis-informed opinions to yourself.

StressFree
Methinks your username is a little inappropriate! :p
And yes there are rumours circulating quite widely!

Tilewood,
You're right, I have lost composure on this issue because I'm sick of being tarred with this brush............

:*

See the post by 26.2 on the other thread for the real story.

As the frog said "REDDIT"
It seems my statement could be closer than you thought!
...and I thought this was the PP "Rumour" NEtwork?

Rigga,
I'm one of the people you are talking about - so don't tell me your statement "is closer than I think". The difference between you and me is I know the FACTS. I know this is a Rumour network but some of the posts on this subject have crossed the line and make remarks prejudicial to the Ford staff, which simply are not true...........

:sad:

I have never read so much rubbish since I opened the Daily <insert your "favourite" tabloid name here>

Stressfree, good for you... :ok:

Good luck guys.

Some of us on the outside also know the WHOLE truth.

I hear a rumour that there was an announcement yesterday making the pilots redundant. Any update on this?

LJ543, fact. :ugh:

Stressfree, thanks for putting Rigga straight. :ok:

It might be a small operation but that still doesnt alter the mistreatment of staff by management - the same everywhere. :{

Bye Bye Ford Air Transportation.
Finishes end April.
Starts out of Southend using Flightline after that!
Good work guys!:ok:

Best wishes to all those at Fordair. Used to work there and fly regularly on the 1-11's and G1 in the 1980's between STN, LPL, MAS, CGN and VLC, on occasion occupying the 1-11 jumpseat.

Triggered my dormant enthusiasm for aviation and I now fly the 744 for BA.

Sad to hear of its demise, if maybe not totally unexpected in today's marketplace.

So CGN only and IST vanishes. From what I've heard, the schedule will be severely reduced when FLT take over. Ford will obviously save a packet in the process. Sad news for the employees of Fordair. PM me if I can be of assistance in finding some of you new employment.

Any further news on the transfer of Ford Air's operations?
