Just checked with an NJ mate, he says the deal is still progressing, but not yet signed, sealed and delivered. 
Me thinks it could be like Rachel used to say, "it won't happen over night...."

Is there a dollar in it for NJS ??
Methinks the 727 could be very costly in terms of reliability/maintenance and the associated contract penalties when aeroplanes go tits up.
Lets hope they are chargeing what it costs rather than what AAE wanted to pay.

"727s expensive in terms of maint./ reliability" ?
.....Big call from the folks who opperate 146s!
Hell, man, when I flew RMX we had 100% dispatch, and that wasnt so long ago.....
72s are still a fine aircraft, in all respects and your facillity there in Melbourne appears to be first-class.
Dont lose any sleep

There is one 727 parked in Cairns at the owner's request and the simulator is fully functional. I'm beginning to think 146's last question to YOU may be a correct assumption.

I don't know about parking the aircraft but I was talking to someone from the sim the other day and my understanding is that it was shut down to do maintenance and a fidelity.
The sim requires quite a bit of time and money spent on it, however, it was decided that it wasn't worth spending the money until the future of the B727 operations was determined and they could be sure of recovering the investment.
The term he used was it was a waste sending good money after bad without knowing where the future was going. I think they are one of the largest creditors of Aeromarine.

Would be tragedy to see the Sim stay shutdown. There musnt be many 727s in SE Asia or Pacific Regions. If it were to stay up and running is there away of organising a Type Rating on it?
Whos the contact for the sim anyone know?
