I heard an interesting stat from a
very senior source last week. Do remember that stats can be made to read whatever you want them to - he was defending the AT fleet (rightly so
) vs. the charters....
"The AT fleet are not waning - in fact, the on-time stats for both AT and Charter are within a % of each other at around 58%"
So what does that mean?
a. Poor ac serviceability of an ageing fleet is irrelevant?
b. Our charters are equally poor?
or c. There is a common factor (whether it be process or people) dealing with both Service AT and Charter ac that delay 42% of all flights (give or take a few % for other factors)?
Just a thought.
Hope you all make a speedy return from wherever you may be,
Merry Christmas
