DASHER 8,So what happens to the q300s,are they going to be phased out completely?Is sax still hiring? And if so what are the realistic hiring minima hours wise. What kind of experience do recently hired F/Os on the dash 8 have.

sax q300
Sax doesn't have Q300's.
I really referring to the re-fleeting...not the interm plan 'till we get there. Bombardier or Embraer? No word yet...

No formal decision yet on the Embraer/Bombardier score, but more RJ 700's and the Q-400's are on the way in the shorter term.
Long term my guess is a mixed fleet of Q400's and Embraer's.
Dash 300's might stay as well for now and the hiring is on going.

Hey DASHER 8,
So it seems as if SAX is not very happy with the larger CRJ700's as they might be replaced by ERJ-175/190's? I thought that because of SAX's large fleet of CRJ200/700's and Q300/Q400's, the CRJ900 would be the natural progression for them with respect to training, spare parts, etc.
Seems like Embraer is winning all of the competitions these days, hopefully the CSeries will have better success for Bombardier.

Sax Q300
transducer: I see! I thought sax had the later versions with noise and vibration suppression system.Any way the point is sax does have 300 series dash 8!
I know its DHC-8, thats what I have on my foreign licence,but when I got the endorsement on my RSA licence the CAA put DH8c.I pointed it out to them,but they said thats what they have for the 300 series on their system.
I dont work for sax,just use the user name because of my interest in the company!
cheers man

EMB 175
Goodday Foo-Fighter,
Any news/info regarding the Engineering Type training for the 175's , will this be done 'in-house' or via an outside training facility?
Best regards

What i hear from the guys on the ground in CPT is that the JHB boys will be going to Brazil, and then they will train the CPT guys. Obviously some of them aint too happy about that little rumour.

That is the best news this year. If I can avoid another overseas trip - great!
These a/c have not yet been ordered. I think who goes for training when and where is pretty far down the list of priorities. In any case, the CPT guys have to make the money to pay for the damn things. We can't expect the JNB crews to fly more than 40 hrs per month - they might get tired!

The first 3 are used and the last 4 are off the production line.
The plan is for them to replace the 300's, except for JNB-RCB, as the work on RCB runway and taxiways to acommodate the Q-400 has not even begun yet.
Delivery dates on the ERJ's is not firmed up yet, but they will be new aircraft.

Virgin in Australia is replacing their ERJ 170's with ATR 72's because they are not making money.
