As bmiminiflyer says FCA have recently up dated their bid list. Below is a very approx overview. Apart from tentative bids to join the 787 fleet the overal picture is of most people in the bases they want on the type they want - I count about 10% looking for base changes with quite a few junior FOs looking for LGW.

Summer 07 is supposedly 'fully manned' at all bases but there has been a shortage of FOs for the 767 (not enough trained to meet the fleet expansion) & also the conversion of BRS from Airbus to Boeing took longer than planned.

CWL & LTN close as bases on 31 Oct, with EXT opening as a full time base on 1 Nov.

Main bases at LGW & MAN are fully crewed with 757/767 & Airbus (for how long who knows?). I can't see TUIFly operating 5 types from these bases with the 787 & TFly 737s!

Get back to your TFly forum shortcut & see if we can get a new joint forum opend soonest so we can all discuss things.
