fleet options
Mesh, good points as usual.
"specially if we decide to go 737. Why bother interviewing lots of FBW guys?"
Possible answer:
- B737 option would require serious retraining of existing FBW crews anyway?
- would negate CCQ option and cost company more to convert crews to A330 or poss future A350.
- If FBW crews in hold pool have other flying experience eg: Q400, B200, EMB jets or even instructional backgrounds surely they are no more risk or training cost than CTC cadets?
Another reason why a new A320 order might happen is Monarch maintenance - lots of FBW experience there and servicing EZY machines for foreseeable.
C series could shake up the market - Osdessey seem to think it will beat BA's A318 out of LON City.
