Description:

Reporting Points that may affect our jobs or lives as professional pilots. Also, items that may be of interest to professional pilots. The forum the bean counters hoped would never happen. Your news on pay, rostering, allowances, extras and negotiations where you work - scheduled, charter or contract. A forum for those on the steep path to that coveted professional licence. Whether studying for the written exams, training for the flight tests or building experience here's where you can hang out. The forum where interviews, job offers and selection criteria can be discussed and exchanged. For discussing all aspects of becoming Cabin Crew, including applications and the assessment process. A forum for those applying to Cathay Pacific, Dragonair or any other Hong Kong-based airline or operator. Use this area for both Direct Entry Pilot and Cadet-scheme queries. The place for students, instructors and charter guys in Oz, NZ and the rest of Oceania. A forum for the large number of pilots (expats and locals) based with the various airlines in Hong Kong. Air Traffic Controllers are also warmly welcomed into the forum. Aviation has been around South America and the Caribbean since the early days. A forum for aviators from that part of the world. It smells a bit of snow and ice and big hairy vikings chasing lusty maidens around after lots of mjød and loud partying. Forum languages are Svenska, Dansk, Norsk English. Finally a forum for those midnight prowler types who utilise the unglamorous parts of airports that many of us never get to see. Freight Dogs is for pilots and crew who operate mostly without SLF. The place for discussion of issues related to corporate, Ag and GA aviation. If you're a professional pilot and don't fly for the airlines then try here. A forum for the professionals who fly military hardware. Also for the backroom boys and girls who support the flying and maintain the equipment, and without whom nothing would ever leave the ground. All armies, navies and air forces of the world equally welcome here. A place for instructors to communicate with one another because some of them get a bit tired of the attitude that instructing is the lowest form of aviation, as seems to prevail on some of the other forums! A forum for test pilots, flight test engineers, observers, telemetry and instrumentation engineers and anybody else involved in the demanding and complex business of testing aeroplanes, helicopters and equipment. A place where pilots may enter the 'lions den' that is Air Traffic Control in complete safety and find out the answers to all those obscure topics which you always wanted to know the answer to but were afraid to ask. In this day and age of increased CRM and safety awareness, a forum for the guys and girls who keep our a/c serviceable. A forum for the people who are engaged in operational control/flight dispatch/crewing and their colleagues airside in ramp dispatch, load control and ground handling, to discuss issues directly related to keeping their aircrew and aircraft operational. News and debate about medical and health issues as they relate to aircrews and aviation. Any information gleaned from this forum MUST be backed up by consulting your state-registered health professional or AME. Due to advertising legislation in various jurisdictions, endorsements of individual practitioners is not permitted. If you are a professional pilot or your work involves professional aviation please use this forum for questions. Enthusiasts, please use the 'Spectators Balcony' forum. Discussion on accidents, close calls, and other unplanned aviation events, so we can learn from them, and be better pilots ourselves. If you're not a professional pilot but want to discuss issues about the job, this is the best place to loiter. You won't be moved on by 'security' and there'll be plenty of experts to answer any questions. Whether working in aviation, retired, wannabee or just plain fascinated this forum welcomes all with a love of flight. If you are regularly a passenger on any airline then why not post your questions here? Anyone with questions about the terribly complex world of computers or the internet should try here. NOT FOR REPORTING ISSUES WITH PPRuNe FORUMS! Please use the subforum "PPRuNe Problems or Queries." If anyone has a recommendation for somewhere to visit or eat out on a night stop then post the info here. Please feel free to post contact information here if you are looking for long lost friends or trying to find out what has happened to colleagues. Obituaries and condolences can be posted here too. A forum for announcements and anything else to do with the PPRuNe Bashes such as the 20th May 2000 Ash Bash.

Read More Lunch time TV news had a Channel 9 reporter, Chris Uhlmann saying that after the daily press conference with the PM that the Government is unlikely to prop up Virgin Australia with the loan that they were seeking.

Basically, the failure of CX management to clearly state the facts regarding the current contractual status of the CX pilots contracts demonstrates their complete moral turpitude.
