Rumours abound here in the crew room in STN that we (Ryanair) have bought or are hiring an Excel 757?
Some of the cabin crew have got courses coming up on it, and they are going to be using contract pilots??
Anybody know anymore as we are not being told much about it!!??
738 :cool:

Makes sense if the Air Atlanta 757 are staying on the TF reg and not joining the 767's and 747's on the G reg which are operated with JAA crews.

Hi,
Excel has 3 757's leased from Air Atlanta (TF-ARD, TF-ARE and TF-ARI). All 3 757-200's are in full Excel colours.

TF - Iceland - JAA Country - JAA Crews.

spoke to a ryanair hostie today and shes been told shes going on the excel 738's.
her training course is starting asap.....dont know how excels 738's are different to fr's but that's what she said.!!!!!:}
DFC Not quite. Any old license=Icelandic validation=able to fly TF.
It is only when the Atlantic's 757s become G that you need a real JAR Licence.

Its all to cover the early retiral of the dodgy 737-200's with the peeling damaged skin.
