NOW or never
yeah , hope it went well for them . just as a matter of interest has any outfit got as far as the proving flight and then been refused approval because of the way the flight went or is it as i assume that so much work has already been done that this is almost a formality.

25minutes think you will find they are both still in bits with their wheels firmly on the ground. My source at STN and close to the diamond hangar has heard that EZY will go to any lengths to stop the launch of NOW. Anyone from EZY care to coment

All this noise of aircraft in bits, or are they, no finance, or is there, mysterious websites etc, all very confusing. I suppose now that the proving flight has been done, more will be revealed - or will it ???

not that long ago, a certain Orange airline yapped their heads off when BA launched GO. They must be still scared of the competition. They should be because these days they're far from 'low cost'

B757RATED your previous
I think maybe it's AV8 as they have delayed their start up due to the CAA taking longer to process the AOC application.
Out of interest Flight International today had an advertisement for an airline requiring START-UP finance. The ad. specifies that an 'AOC application in place' and a requirement for $8m finance to launch the project. The airline mentions flights to N. America so I guess it is nothing to do with Now Airlines.

Here, here eagerbeaver. The proving flight went like clockwork. Was speaking to the engineering person in charge of all the stripping down etc, they said it was easyJet dragging their feet, incompetence on their part not knowing how to return an aircraft back to the lessor, ie painted neutral white with XX amount of hours left in the engines etc. As we all suspected it is easyJet trying to sabotage this start up. Then again Now should have thought twice about getting ex easyJet aircraft to launch with I suppose. Everyone is now in place, HR, marketing, ops, rostering, finance, crews and flight crews. The AOC is due to be announced, then tickets go on sale and then all the doubters and cynics can eat their hats...

jmc-man will be back, he loves to go on and on and on, repeating the same stuff. I think possibly he copies and pastes his previous posts and just pops up with it again. I tell you what, on the proving flight, we all got to meet eachother, and what fun! Pilots, crews, managers, engineers. All eager to get going. Any there was no, "managers sit at the front" mentality, we all just milled around on the flight, chatting and laughing. Well done to the operating crew, the whole airline was watching, and you did us proud.

After 7 weeks and ten pages, it would appear it's time to move on with this thread.
Best Wishes and well done to my friends in NOW.
Time for a new thread ( if required)
