FDX 75 to Europe.
 

Looks like this is gonna happen sooner than later. My question is why?
-bus is not hacking it because,,,?? loads?.. reliability.? too many over 60 in the bidpack.??

I think the plan is to keep some of the buses there with SIBA for a while. The 75 will mostly be used for smaller markets and opening new ones. But what do I know, I'm just a line pilot:)

Thoughts on when we might see a bid for 757 Cologne? I would guess that we won't try to negotiate a new LOA rather just wrap the whole thing into contract negotiations? Any ideas, rumors or gouge?

I think you'd want to negotiate outside of the contract negotiations so that there is no quid pro quo on the LOA!

Enjoy
 

It'll go senior.:p

We have been told here in MX in EMEA that the 757 will replace the A310-200/300's currently in Europe, so we will have a mix of 757/A300 flying. There are two 757 systems classes for MX in CDG this month (one just finished and another starting tomorrow, plus two in September, possibly in BUD & CGN.

757 is on July's BCN carryover lines. And, I hear BSL and BUD for Sept.
