A few facts....
Fonck - "727s aren't in very good shape + not well maintained"??? Where do you get your intelligence? Show us some facts to justify such statements. These a/c have been operating in Europe for the past 10 years with a very good reputation. "dash 7 or 9" - I'll have you know that one of the a/c is a dash -15. Maybe for your standards a little overpowered for this operation.
Fonck - "Crew members are all Belgian" ??? your source is obviously on another planet when it comes to reliable. I hope the Ned, UK, POR, SPA, FRE national crew memebrs on this operation do not take offence to your statement.
Before you knock an operation with ZERO know-how get your facts right.
