LAVDUMPER,
NJI operates BAE146-300s(EFIS) and B737-400s. I'm on the 146. The Italian air trafficers call it a 'JUMBOLINO' (little Jumbo). I can't really compare the condition of our 146s but they seem to me to be a typical 146, although we have cd players and espresso machines on ours. The Flt deck has tcas, GPS fms (primitive), and all the normal stuff. If your have had time on them you will be aware of the nuances of the 146s. Anyways, read today a memo from the top confirming that we are getting 4 brand new RJs, (last ones off the production line) 2 RJ85s and 2 RJ100s, 1st 2 in Oct then one in Nov and one in Dec with options for 6 RJXs first delivery in Jun 02. Ground school for the RJ conversion starts in about 2 weeks.
It will be fun to go onto the RJs.
Cheers
Jumbolino.
