>>you guys sit on the flight deck doing bu---er all<<
what a pathetic comment.....
There are a number of pretty obvious reasons why they didn't go for Boeing or Airbus.
1) they'd have to put down a deposit, and they haven't got any cash
2) with a non-common a/c, they can continue to pay crappy wages because there are no other operators to compare with.
To all you guys who are staying - watch out for the bond they'll be throwing at you - it'll probably go up to about £15000.
