As far as the LAN birds- if the one we currently fly is any indicator as to the level of "South American" maintenance standards, the rest of them won't be any gems. Every time I fly that bird there's no fewer than 8 MELs and they're different ones every time.
Interesting. Even with our CBA, good luck staffing 737 FOs...
The 767-200s they gave us to start in CVG had been scavenged for every good component during their years in the weeds. They want us to fly hangar queens? That's fine. Make sure everything is written up every leg and get a full briefing from the mechanic and maintenance control, too, prior to every departure to make sure we're being safe.
All In. All Together!
