Omni air dc10? which company was it that had James Blunt on Board, looked a bit like a DC10 to me, errrr it had a tech snag
We would all like a new car every year most of us cant afford it
The Raf would benefit from being able to update its AT fleet when it wanted, unfortunatly the country cannot afford it! Thats basically what it boils down to, if it was the case the VC10 would still not be flying. If we had bought DC10's many years ago we would still be having the same discussion, if we had bought 747-200's folf would be saying why have we not got 400's
THE COMPANY ----- UK PLC!!!! cannot afford to update its AT fleet as often as it would like, so 411A a bit like you! we operate an oldish airplane.
We DO run it very much like an airline as I said before, schedules are NOT like an airline due to the work we do.
Contrary to popular belief the stats for the herrick are not that bad, sadly for those folk that get delayed for whatever reason because of the nature of the way the military work (R&R time at home is not recovered) it causes bad feeling. When folk get there and back on time though they dont post on here to say so, and lots of people do get there and back on time.
The fleet problem has been sorted and the schedule is back on track, coping with all the issues we have on a day to day basis
