@ Dresden...

Is it already clear who will operate them ? (EAT Gmbh or ACL ?)

So far it seems EAT is on the winning hand, but no official statement has yet been released...

[hotelmodemetar]

I heard ACL might operate a few of them (5 or so).

[Best foot forward]

Mr I no decission yet, its in the pending tray, under the staff bonus checks.

Rumour of an announcement tomorrow.

But we keep hearing this.

[Mr Angry from Purley]

First 6 to EAT LEJ GMBH was mentioned today.

[hardcase]

been told 5 by ACL and the rest by EAT, no deal done yet but ex-JAL are the front runners...
:ok:
