Hello Bud,
The latest news about VarigLog and VarigBrasil are:
1- There was a meeting in Oct10, between VL and Apvar and was assured by VarigLog's management that only Varig's pilots are going to fly the cargo airplanes.
2- This week I read that Vaspex is giving back 2 B727 to the lessor (Pegasus). Those airplanes are supposed to go to Varig.
3- Varig's first officers have been invited by the director of operations to fly to Nordeste Linhas Aereas. This is a part of a new negociation to start a final seniority list among pilots from Varig, Rio-Sul and Nordeste. Today, there are some vacancies to fly as B735 skipper, living in Salvador. Pilots must go on furlough from Varig to assign for this position.
4- Varig is looking for two new wide-body airplanes. They can be 2 MD11 or 2 B767. Nothing has been decided yet.
See you.
