While taxying out at MAN today, I noticed an Eastern Jetstream at the end of the pier. All secured and looking (possibly) impounded.
My F/O said they may be in trouble again, or still not sorted out from last time.
Anyone know anything?

Dunno mate but there were 2 at GLA today and I handled 1 of them so they certainly are flying and I havent heard anything about them being trouble, sound like idle gossip as per!!!

The A/C in question was tucked up waiting to do a charter the next day. Since Eastern have a base at MAN this should not be such a surprse. What does an impounded A/C look like anyway, much like a parked one ?
As for being in trouble again and still not sorted from thelast time, what last time ? Never happened, more aircraft, increased frequency, good load factors, etc etc....

Been lots of rumours round BRAL that Eastern Air are buying the only Jetstream 41 that we actually own
