Are Eastern really short of Saabs or pilots?
I assume there are 3 on the IAC contract, 1 appears to be working on the Aberdeen-Newcastle-Southampton tomorrow with an ATR72 on the Stavangers (with a trip to Newcastle early afternoon) and an ERJ135 working the Norwich-Aberdeens. So where are the other 2 Saabs :confused:

Missing SAABs
 
So if they have 6 SAABs and 4 are accounted for (3 on IAC and the other on the ABZ-SOU).... as MME said where are the other two... :confused:

Also it begs the question where are the two new ones, one of which was due last week?? :mad:

NickBarnes 9th Dec 2008 14:01

The first new one was due Dec 3rd and the other one is due Dec 15th

Saab 2000's at ABZ
 
There is also one parked at the Eastern Hanger at ABZ. I'm sure there are 5 here all together.

Eastern Saabs
 
The thing is Eastern are pretty smart, they have a E135 and a ATR72 operating some of their scheduled Saab routes, thus allowing their new client to get used to the Saab. They didn't get where they are now by not thinking ahead.

GG I agree that RL is a very astute man... I've seen it personally... however it still leaves questions unanswered..

Anybody know who is behind the regular Haugesund - Durham Tees charters usually run on a weekend (Fri/Sat/Sun) :confused: Presume its some gas or oil company or other chemicals? Usually uses a J41.

mmeteesside 16th Dec 2008 10:41

No I'm just interested as I live near MME. I was thinking it had to be related to an oil or gas company given there is loads of them in this area! :)

jetstreamtechrecords 16th Dec 2008 17:41

Oh yep, and how's your Maintenance Management Exposition?:= This business is nicely locked up so :mad:hands off.:ouch:

Guys unless there is some humour in your responses that I'm missing give the guy a break, check his posting history and you'll see he's an enthusiast :) in these days of gloom it's good to see some enthusiasm :ugh:

No need to come over all aggressive secret squirrel, if you don't know or don't want to contribute in a meaningful way then say bugger all! :ugh:

Well said numbers in the pub

Richard Taylor 17th Dec 2008 07:25

I'm sure mmeteesside is no threat to Eastern's business! Unless he's a budding Baby Branson! :E

There is usually a T3 J41 positions into ABZ from HAU on a Sun evening, I assume it's all connected to the aforementioned charter.

learjet50 17th Dec 2008 11:09

Stupid comment about mme teesside as you say he is only an enthusiast

Its not Willy Walsh (Although I suspect he could do a better job)

Leave MME alone he means no harm just intrested to see his local airport get more business.

jetstreamtechrecords 17th Dec 2008 12:14

Sorry bout that MME:{ comes of a hard year ducking :mad:Exeter low balls makes you a bit bah humbug. Happy posting 2009:ok:
