deeps, because some of them may or may not be converted into QCs . How do you replace a 15 tonne a/c?, either go for the cockroach or go up to a 757 ala DHL. Its sad but the time is near for all those L188s and 727s to vanish from the European hubs, due in no part because of some very fierce green party politics. At least Channex are taking on crews and engineers (how many are struck off the tea list at Happylift this month?). More to the point they employ Europeans including our Estonian friends and are succesful at it. Look at the A300B4 freighters tramping around europe,and ask yourself whose idea that was? Many F/Es are now in employment for years to come. Hope that answers your query?
