1Time 11 Engine Shutdowns in 2010
 

Can anyone in the know confirm if 1Time had 11 engine shutdowns in 2010.

Whilst this may sound a lot, how does it compare with other operators operating older equipment?

This is almost the same number (+/- 1) which Lufthansa communicates internally for engine failures of their A32s fleet last year. And this fleet consists of about 110 a/c!

???
 

And they want to operate out of FALA.....:}

Slightly off topic, now that the oil price has begun its inexorable climb upwards, at what point does the MD80 fleet become uneconomical to operate? I assume 1Time focus more on the variable cost inputs and less on fixed capital costs. Perhaps that A320 discussion might come to the fore again?

Long one!
 

Wow, that post was seemingly unstoppable - don't know how the moderators kept control of it! Well done!

:mad::mad::mad::mad: ahhh! it's only an engine shutdown. it's not like the engine fell off onto the runway or something:}:}
