the J41 fleet is heading for disposal?
Otto: Well, ultimately the brand spanking new global A380 fleet is heading for disposal too... all metal eventually gets old. The J41s are only 15 years old, barely middle aged for an airframe, so if the rumour were true that Eastern wanted to put these to pasture already, that is surely a good sign that they are more inclined to operate a younger fleet? The continuing expansion of their Saab 2000 fleet could be a clue here?
I also heard that all their flights out of NCL were grounded a few days ago
BALLSOUT: Well, all flights actually operated all week with minimal disruption from the weather. I'd recommend you ask your contact whether they were actually watching the movements off stand, or just waiting expectantly to see the spare aircraft move! lol
Due respect.
