China Southern 319s
 

Weren't we supposed to get like 10 of these this year? It's almost June and I haven't seen a single one. Any clues??

We have one getting retrofitted now and getting the STC. I would imagine there is not much of reason to take them if they are not approved by the FAA yet.

With that said I have no idea what the delivery schedule is.

First 2 planes hit the line in June. That's what an LCA told me.

And today a 319, 48xx differences bulletin was loaded on to my iPad (have to select it to download). So they are coming soon.

We have taken delivery of only one so far. The one we have just left LCQ for HOU. It was in LCQ for 3.5 months.

It's taking longer than expected to delaminate the nicotine from the cockpit.

I for one will NOT be reading a 57 page differences bulletin on my own time for no pay..

The old snot-rocket residue as well - lol

The Chinese don't do that as much as their cousins to the south.

So slats, as a professional airman when will you read the bulletin?

As a professional will you refuse to fly the jet when it shows up in you paring, since you will be in violation of approved practice because you have not read the bulletin if you do?
