Cor blimey, that's done it !. .. .I'll bet that East Midlands is, as I type, veritably crawling with reggie spotters - each trying to be first to capture an image of our No.1 aircraft and post it on to <a href="http://www.airliners.net" target="_blank">airliners.net</a>. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" /> . .. .Joking aside, and padding slightly on what Hamrah said above..... .. .We've moved into some smashing offices, which are rapidly filling-up with people, furniture, networks, systems, etc.... .. .The first batch of pilots and CabinCrew have / or are going through ground school courses (being run in our offices), with many of the pilots having completed (me included) or presently going through, their simulator stuff.. .. .We hope to have another newsletter our on the web site (which will include some interesting announcements, certainly w.r.t. some systems that we're now using), in the next few days - but the biggest problem we're having is just that there are only 24 hours in a day and we could seriously do with some more !!. .. .We'd be first to admit that it's a shame that our planned schedule has been disrupted (albeit to the tune of only two weeks), by lack of a hangar slot for a maintenance C check on aircraft No.1 - but them's the breaks.. .. .However, when you think that this whole start-up project has only been running for just 12 weeks - it is truly a credit to some tremendously talented and very hardworking people that it is so close to it's first flight !. .. .Ps. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ &lt;-- e.g. I've been up since 4am developing our Revenue Accounts / Yield Management application - i.e. so much to do, but so little time !
