Hi austra1998,
It seems like A320 is indeed coming, i saw the original photos of it today with Atc's new logo, it looks cool.
But please don't ask me when is it coming because surely i don't know. We have been waiting for it since October this year.
Its too bad for a 406pilot because i will be the one to fly it first before him. I guess its just a matter of timing not being SMART after all.
Cheers

The Site for Air Tanzania is under Maintenance.
What are their requirements for Captain and FO position?

to twin-otter and 737 (love-her)

hi guys,

i also saw the bus pictures in atc colours,the rumour was tht it was supposed to arrive today and start operating on the 20th..the beauty of this rumor is that it had NO year on the date..so it could be the 20th of any year....(2015)

The bet is still on and if the 737 "love-her" wants to join in so be it...will take him on as well...

From the looks of it we will have to fetch the boats ourselves, like anything in this company if you wanna do it right,you gotta DIY...oh well its all good


keep it up there fellows,

Devil

bro i wud NOT be surprised if the 200's stayed for another 2-3 yrs ....considering the amount of money they just spent training the "new" recruits and also the " youngest " recruits have maybe 2 -3 yrs left in them...my 2 shillings worth .....so lets wait n watch

208lover, 737 love-her, caravanlover, please 406pilot give me a break, I am a B737 lover awaiting for the Airbus.
Talking about you and your Buddies to go and fetch the boats yourselves, what a splendid plan for our lovely Airline, the boats are ready but their Skippers are still interfering our 7908 flights.

...Also, in the likely event, WE might be sent for Left seat airbus! (as we are left already). Boats are not coming!, how many "end of month" have we heard already?

Perfect wishful thinking eeh?

Hi Guys,
I was enjoying my Christmas with lots of 7908s just to piss off more some of you guys!!!.
Its sad to hear about the way we keep on receiving all these promises about the Boats and Airbus which are not coming on time, all we have to do is to wait and see in a year 2008.
ps. 406pilot thank you very much for the compliment, i owe you one

Happy new year to you all,
Gusto, 406pilot is right, mach 0.75 at FL430, it sounds too low to me too.
He is used to mach 0.78 at FL310 going to Jburg with a B732 on TC7908 to arrive on time because of Emirates.
I'm really worried that he is going to overtorque the Boats to arrive in Kigoma on time because of the Flying Impala Airline.
Enjoy Spain guys

Hi everlasting 406pilot,
I have received some rumours that the boats are on the way to Dar but i have no idea when are they going to arrive.
Your major checks will be done in RSA with SA Express which includes spares and advices, negotiations have already been done with them.
Talking about the A320, half of the Cabin crew just arrived today from Mauritius where they were undergoing training for it including....., the other half will leave soon.
Well enjoy guys as much as you can even though i heard it from the your future funny training Captain for the boats that the training is not that easy, goodluck!
By the way i will be in Jburg for recurrent in next week so i will say hi to her!!!
Cheers
