L1011-Hajj position- AVOID like terrain!

To anyone seriously looking at this job. STAY AWAY!
They still owe money to just about everyone who has had anything to do with this "outfit". If its a question of you needing some quick cash, you will not see it!
They have BS documentation from Honduras and the equipment is junk.
That aircraft shows up around the ME like a herpe sore, avoiding whoever it owes money to.
Chances are you'll end up in prison or in a box. The agency should be seriously questioned about their vetting process if they are representing companies like this.

I have a buddy that was screwed over big time by this outfit. I can't believe that they still are in business.

Interesting somebody brings up this topic since I was just thinking yesterday "where would they even find experienced and, more importantly, current Tristar pilots these days?"

Seems that the type has become a dinosaur. The only commercially available simulator is with Delta Airlines and the operators, as of last year, were:

Barq Air
SAM Intercontinental
Rollins Air (the Honduran company; the (in)famous "411A" of PPRuNe was involved in this thing first-hand)
Privilege Jet (leases from the Rollins Air)
Orbital Science

I guess they do have their attraction for some fly-by-night, cash-strung operators. You can probably get an L-1011 these days for the price of a Cessna Caravan.

Having said that, Lockheed was rumoured to have planned web-based regulator and operator conference in July.

The subject is supposedly "wing fatigue management" but the subtext is really grounding the legacy Lockheed aircraft including L188 and L1011 by imposing an economically unsupportable wing inspection regime.

Looks like Buffalo Joe might have just wasted a lot of money...
