AirQuarius

[four engine jock]

Heard a rumor this morning that AirQuarius has been grounded. Any truth to that? I hope not!!!.

I heard the 737 crews have been retrenched due to lack of work? Now I hear they got some contracts?? Who knows, but they have not closed.

Good to hear. Thanks .
I have a few friends that work there.

Could it be that the rumour was to rid themselves of the chief pilot and some other unwanted luggage?

those 732's are not in the best condition, and the poor dispatch rate shows, worse than the F 28's

The do however have a shiny "new" F70 being punted fiercely, now that is a plane you can do something with RR Tay fans, economical and reliable, the jurassic jets are busy consuming their operators......

Rid themselves of the ChiefPlot?!

Could well be, but then he scored a free rating on the F70/100. PB and sidekick were seen at flightsafety Paris not so long ago doing ground school and sim.............

Paul is Fokker fleet captain, not chief pilot so not affected. Looks like the B737 pool + cp were relieved of their contracts

[EladElap]

See two of their 732's are for sale, nothing about their F28's though, so sounds like they just cutting their 73 fleet.

732

Not good, 3 of the 732 operators in S.A. has suspended operations in the last 2 months......

are they simply getting too old and expensive to operate ?

[Missfunfly]

They are just too expensive to operate....that's the main reason....

The B737-200 is a great Airplane. But in the end you get what you paid for. If you do the maintenance on time and as per Boeing you never go wrong.
The operating cost of a late model B737-200 and an early model B737-300 are about the same.

Hogwash and Poppycock. Still a great aircraft.
