4 pilots gone including the Chief Pilot, as well as the Ops Manager. They have lost their mail run and won't be re bidding on the Santos contract insofar as I can ascertain.

Is a real shame really... under TK and CK the company was doing well...pilots were employed and were getting good hours with a variety of work for all, and paid by the award. I think that Air North has their own EBA which wont pay nearlly so well as what they were getting.

Porn Star, I think you have your facts back to front. It is the Santos contract that they lost, and to the best of my knowledge they will not be re-bidding on the mail run contract when it comes up for tender again.

That is not the only fact that Porn Star got wrong!!!!
under TK and CK the company was doing well...pilots were employed and were getting good hours with a variety of work for all, and paid by the award.
Do you even KNOW who TK and CK are ???
Have you ever spoken to an ASA pilot about them ?
try speaking to someone who is owed money from them too

One would imagine that the crews will be better off with Airnorth. At least they have still got a job and will get paid. Understand that they are employed under an AWA, which Airnorth have been using for many years.

They could have finished up like the Horizon pilots - out of a job. It was strange hearing the Topend callsign on Adelaide Tower!

Hope it all works out for the crews.

and NOW, the "Tight Twosome" are witholding pilots' entitlements ie long service leave not being paid!
I understand that they have alos inthe past played silly buggas with superannuation as well.
I just pity those poor soles who are out of pocket cos of these two idiots

Nice to see nothing's changed in that department - same s**t, different day! I just hope the people that are owed money (pilots, maintenance organisations etc) get paid the full amount they are owed.

Question

So will Air North base a Bras in AD or will they send a Metro?

Rumour has it (yes its just a RUMOUR) that AN will send down a Bras on the 1st of DEC.

Nothing more heard as yet, altho like someone has already pointed out, bit weird hearing 'Topend' on ADL TWR
