Spoke to one of the Management Engineers who is heading up the maintainence systems for the EMB, they are finding it very difficult to plan this EMB maintainence as the management above them are refusing to tell them where these EMB are going to be based, they keep stating this commercial sensitive info. Would not be surprised if the wheel re-invents itself with HBA, LST, CB and other similar ports pop their heads up!!
Time will tell. Enjoy the $25US endorsement for a $62AUS bas pay as an FO.
Sorry, just stiring the pot!
