Hey, you said you wouldn't tell! :eek:

Overheard it in the chow hall from Sputnik, MikeF16 and the other Viper pilots who filmed it. They seemed excited to re-enact it themselves. :cool:

That's true. Sputnik kept wanting a do over. "I can do it better. I'll cry this time."

Read today that Jet Airways has put the 777W fleet up for sale, didn't we almost have a deal for these aircraft last year? Wonder if we are still interested?

Mhhh I like how the plot thickens,

Jet Airways had also just recently asked to get two it's 777-300s back from Etihad. Etihad holds a 24% share in Jet Airways and has been leasing five 777-300s from Jet Airways after Jet Airways lost it's Category-1 safety rating from the FAA wich precluded flying these planes to the US...


Cheers

I agree, not after they just announced all those cuts to our International flying. They would be a great 'replacement' for the 747's, but they would have to be very, very, cheap.

Joking right?
 
Anybody else read the Daily Fastread from the MEC that was sent out today? I seriously thought it was a joke as I read. They talk about 2 experts that briefed the MEC earlier and specifically said:

7. Develop the ability to say yes:
· A tentative agreement is not proof that a better offer is available.

Ahhhh....I don't think there has ever been that problem here. Please call your reps and tell them otherwise. Develop the ability to say NO! A TA also doesn't mean that it's the best offer either! I want to believe in our reps but this just makes me want to bash my head against the wall.

Rant over:mad:
