My understanding is that 702 will be going to WOA
703 and 705 just went over to TPE for C-Check and paint, both of them are supposed to go to WOA. 703 was due a scheduled C-Check anyway (somehow August 22 comes up in my head as the expiration date of the last C-Check). 705 actually had a C-Check done earlier in the year, but was taken to TPE also/anyway, for paint AND in order to give WOA a 'clean' aircraft...
One of the lingering questions is how Centurion so quickly should be able to get an MD11 onto their certificate. I didn't think they were ATOS compliant with their DC10s, and in that case, adding the MD11 would have meant that their DC10s would have to be made ATOS compliant also if they added a different type to the certificate. That would mean a lengthy process to get it approved by the FAA... BUT it could be that my 'ATOS understanding' is just too rudimentary....

Slight diversion here but I have been researching about what the best way to get to IQQ (Iqueique, Chile) next month and I looked at the published schedule on the Centurion website. It showed that they had possibly at one time flown from MIA to IQQ. Does anyone know if this is still true and if so do they allow jumpseaters? Any info on this or a better way to get there would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
