A300BOY
I have just retired after 20 Years as a ground engineer and 25 years as aircrew the last 10 years were on the A300-B4 and even though the Boeing 727 was great the Airbus was a dream to operate.
I thought it was only Londoners who had an aversion of travelling outside their local area to catch a plane!
If you're that bothered about flying on a A300, then I would honestly have thought that a 2 hour drive - perhaps even more would hardly be that much of an imposition.

Yes and No....don't know what the last post actually means.. is it as passenger, or crew?.......happy days flying the Iberia A300s.....nostalga, but moved on.
It's not as though it's the last passenger A300 flight is it?......maybe the last in the UK.
The last A300 may even see me out!

Just when you think your troll filter is working, up pops an old one.
We get the message.
Now, for a bit of weight and balance:
**Nice Troll Alert** -
Quite fond of ZB personally.
Looking forward to fleet renewals and how they move forward as a solid, reliable part of the UK's transport infrastructure.

I think Monarch have an important role to play in the UK aviation market and have punched below their weight for a long time, a few years back it looked sadly like the choice was between Ryanair & Easy, but Jet2, Monarch, Norwegian, & veuling are slowly changing the dynamics,i think Vueling with IAG behind them will become a major player, ditto Norwegian because of the shear scale of their order book, the order that Monarch makes will be crucial to their future if the get it right, Jet2 is the wild card, they do their own thing and haven't put a foot wrong yet, but it is all good news for UK aviation jobs

The CS300 is a lot smaller than the current smallest a/c in the fleet - if they do get up to 20 as is mentioned in the Flight article, would this indicate a change in the current business model?

The CS-300 is not that much smaller in a high-density seating arrangement. I thought I read between 150-160 seats. All with 20% improvement in efficiency over the standard A320/737NG.
I hope Monarch orders it. Looks like a real winner if Bombardier can just get it's act together and get it certified sooner than later!
