It is believed that there are "possibly" more
aircraft on the way (to replace DC9's) - not necessarily Q400's.
Keep em pealed
Quite frankly all this winging about the DC9's and F28's is getting a bit
. I understand the frustration
of the Sax crew by having their turf operated on by some non-scheduled charter operation, however the fact is they do not have the capacity at present to operate these routes themselves. Maybe they should look at this situation from the other perspective and realise that these CREWS have done much to salvage their reputation in the market place. The crews of these aeroplanes, with the consiberable fewer resourses of Sax, have operated selflessly to achieve one goal, get the flight done in a professional manner , to a standard that meets Sax requirements, if not a higher one, and always with Sax at the top of the agenda. perhaps a little more consideration of the personal sacrifices that these crews have made is warranted and maybe a little more appreciation
is called for.
