what's up with Air Tanzania's 'new' A320?
I was in DAR this week and for 3 days it was parked on the ramp, red engine covers on and closed up... when will they starting flying it as i can imagine it's costing quite a bit standing still :bored:

This is SOP for Tango Charlie. Since it's debut in 1978, they've had so many Chief Executives than I've flown sectors. The A320 aircraft is owned by a lebanese businessmen,previously operated in Jamaica and registered in Liberia. One wonders about the state of the aircraft airworthiness. All this seems a bit dodgy and we wonder why it's still sitting there in the heat. What experience do people like David Mataka and his so called experts have? Why weren't experienced pilots involved in decision making!! Looking back at the B737's leased from Canada with higher cycles and hours than the 1 owned by ATC at the time which was sold. All this does not make sense.:confused::confused:

Maybe I should say something, it is not TC SOP but surely there is a syndrome here.
Meanwhile, we are on optimistic mode in turbulence penetration speed, moving.
What else to do.
