EAAC are not going down. On the contrary, prospects look very good!

Last time it was an Md11 freighter they were dreaming about.
Then again they can't quite make up their mind what business they are in. With only a handful of planes offering freight, pax charter and leasing / management.
As for EAc. Don't knock them that much. Change may be on the way. But the good (read: profitable / viable) parts of the company have agreat future.....

If Keith Newnham says he is going 747 then I reckon Cougar will succeed wher others have failed. He made Sabre work and sure came out smelling of roses when he sold his stake in Excell.
Its about time some UK based Cargo outfit took on all these overseas "poachers". Whats wrong with Uk registered and based Freight Airline taking full advantage of our healthy market.
Good luck with it and all you knockers......get yer CV,s in!

The sad thing is that it is obvious in some obsessive and bitter way that you do care about what happens to Cougar.
Be a man and stop wasting your energy.
Cougar lives and long may it do so.

Like I said before, I REALLY don't give a damn about Cougar. The so called management couldn't manage a p155 up at a brewery. In fact, in 22 years of being in aviation, I have to say I regret putting faith and trust in certain individuals. Therefore, I REALLY hope they go to the wall and take the bad eggs with them.
I'm a far happier person now that I don't have to come face to face with the parasites that lie within the Cougar walls and they all know who they are. I feel VERY sorry for the good guys who remain but then I know for a fact that they are all looking to get out, and I wish only them the very best. As for the rest, I wish them the VERY worst.
Enough said. :rolleyes:

I am sure the so called parasites at Cougar are far happier now that they do not have to put up with people that have paranoid dillusions working in their company and bringing it into disrepute.
Your postings are clearly contradictive.
You REALLY do give a damn about what happens to Cougar. Even if you only want to see negative things happen to what is being made a very good company without the doom sayers like yourself onboard.
Go on get a life!
Or a therapist!
All the ducks are swimming in the water!

As one does at this time of year, I was viewing a pile of Airline News that had been donated to my son. One article stated that the Super 727 a/c (pax only) stored at SEN would be sold as is, converted to VIP or crago door cut in at a cost of between $10- $13 millions and used as a pure freighter naturally.
The facts on the plus points on the conversion i.e. mileage / lift were self explanatory. However, 727s appear to be in recession, therefore if it is converted what period of life can it expect and in a good year how long does it take to get the outlay back.
Finally, even as a VIP are there still not better and cheaper options and what would a Super 727 be valued at ?.Ta.
