Just got a job offer with Easy, I´m not going to miss the noisy props!

Regarding bases, anybody knows which Easy bases have the highest ratio of -700s vs. -300s?

And also, which of the -300 bases (i.e STN, EMA etc) are likely to get some of the remaining -700s on order?

Many thanks,

Siggur

LTN is the main -700 base, with very little if any -300's based there. LGW has a lot of -700's, but they are re-equipping with the A319. The next place to look would be LPL, they have a mixed fleet up there but I think the majority is mainly -700's.
EDI has a mixed fleet, and thats about it.
Rumour has it that EMA will convert to the 700, but that ones been doing the round for some time and nothing has happened yet.
STN, NCL, BRS, GLA etc are exclusively 300 bases (but I stand to be corrected).
When you join you will probably do your sim / line training on both types, regardless of where they base you.

Hope your ready to have large oranges shoved up your **** by our "management". Enjoy.

P.S ORY is also a -700 base, but you probably won't get a look in there. :cool:

This vaseline bit seems to be ever frequent in this part of the forum..

AFAIK neither the 319 or -700 can double park at STN on stands designated Left or Right due to their wingspan (34 mtrs +), the -300 however (at just under 29 mtrs) has no problem doubling up. Unless the BAA build another satellite I can't see ezy 319's or -700's operating out of STN in significant numbers.
