It's great how you do that stuff with your keyboard.
Wish l could do it too
An old, second hand, slow, overweight, CFM powered aeroplane doesn't appear to me as being a future direction for this outfit.
In three years the 330 will supposedly be in the process of being removed from the fleet. Where does that leave the above?
The goal is the 777 being the baby of the fleet, as the 340 and 380 are being delivered.
That seems pretty straight forward to me that the 340-300 appears to be a stop gap, and the 330 is here to make up the numbers until the heavy metal arrives from both manufacturers.
Thats what all the propaganda from the company says anyway with regard to the future fleet.
Back to DEC....
The problem l feel is the training department.
It has been left under the control of #%* and has not kept up with the expectations of the company, particularly in meeting current, let alone future upgrade requirements.
l don't have to explain here whats going on, as every knows.
It really does need to be expanded to supply at the rate of demand.
It's going to cost money either way, DEC or not.
So the summary is that the manufacturers can't keep up with supply and the training isn't at the right volume, yet.
