savio3..it would be good if it happened.It would simplify so much of the grief that seems to be generated within their triumverate AAE/AAI/Excel crewing ,maintenance and management structures,a really severe case of too many chiefs and not enough Indians, Nigerians, French, Germans, Icelandics, Tongans, Brits, Ozzies etc.,if ever there was one(the latest addition,an 'AAI Base Commander',for example,is equally mystified by the correct spelling of Excel as he is by the FTLs implied by an Annex 10 operation,sending out contradictory FTL advice in FCNs within days of each other).
Rather like the 'AAI to get 777s' thread,I still think that G regging will be later rather than sooner.It would be good to be proved wrong,I rather fancy a type change to do a 767 longhaul trip from time to time.
And what happens when they get something G reg.The one 767 they do have has no wet runway performance information according to one ex MyTravel captain in the crew room the other day.So what happens at the subsequent board of enquiry whist flying within the great British regulatory system? Perhaps EASA is not to be feared after all!
And Shot one.According to their crew,they take the most restrictive 371 and Icelandic FTLs.So TF reg flights over 7 1/2 hours carry a third crew member who would not normally be required under the Icelandic FTLs. The only difference is that discretion reports are more likely to be analysed in the UK than they are by Inga Dorrisdottir of the ICAA,if she ever gets to see them.
