Have they started recruiting for pilots for the B767 yet? Does anyone know their minimum requirements (for Captains)?
I heard from a little bird that they were hot to trot for the 787. Whats the deal on that, are they a launch customer for the type or is it just wind and piss?

flyglobespan pledge new aircraft to launch Aberdeen routes
Flyglobespan are to expand to Aberdeen and bring budget flights to the north east of Scotland.
From next summer, the airline are to operate a brand new £25m Boeing 737 700 aircraft from Aberdeen which will bring a host of attractive holiday destinations into range for direct flights.
Flyglobespan cannot say exactly what resorts they will be flying to until landing rights have been negotiated but point out that the fuel efficient 700s can fly as far as Cyprus from Aberdeen - putting all of the Mediterranean resorts within easy reach.

Globespan
I wonder if any of those pilots (Black_bush, G-IBBO,Justonemorebeer, Tarek Nor, NG708) or any of the others promoting this company on the Pprune forum have heard anything from their management as to whether they have enough in the kitty to pay for the Employment Tribunal award made against them by the Stratford Employment Tribunal amounting to £528,000,00 to 17 of their employees whom they cynically made redundant when they changed their name from COUGAR to Globespan?

1.wasn't Cougar a 727 charter kinda cargo operator ?
2.did Cougar ever operate 737's ?
3.did Globespan ever operate 727's ?
4.did Flyglobespan purchase Cougar's operating Rights/Licence ?
5.did Cougar close down beause of lack of revenue/funds ?
6.was the management with Flyglobespan involved with Cougar ?
or is it simply the case that one buisness model wasn't working & they shut it down only to try another model which has now worked at the second attempt after trying out at Prestwick first, before moving to Glasgow & hopefully they wont look back ?

Tarek Nor is not and has never been a pilot. The others, well who knows. I would think someone somewhere has enough dosh to cover the bill you mention, lets face it, GSM have ordered a brand new 737 recently at $25m.
Maybe the little dwarf who caused all the aggrovation at Cougar in the first place would care to make a financial contribution out of his own gold lined pocket. He should have retired years ago and gone back under the stone he crawled out from. The day he walked into Cougar, it was doomed.
I hope GSM see the daylight soon and retire him so that they can grow and prosper.

The loads on SFB for the first week have been great - either fully booked or nearly full on most flights outbound this week. The inbound flights have proved successful too - with over 100 US pax inbound on the first flight back to GLA.
The GLA-PMI flights are on the B738W.
