SkyWest A320
Seriously skystar - why do you get so defensive about nothing?
I only stated that it has had 20 odd different 'operators', I only stated that the a/c had 6 different regos. Is there ANYTHING untrue with these statements ?? Did I EVER state that anything other than that jokinly that it would have a few layers of paint on it ?? and that any aircraft that is older and has flown for more than 1 company would be harder to get the paperwork in order, say vs VH-HYA when it left ansett, one operator, one MRO it's entire life ?
Just wondering what
icon i'll get in my response this time.

So it's early July, any signs of this bird in PER yet?
I hear no facebook rumblings from my XR cabin crew friends regards training.

Has anyone got an update on the A320? I heard today that an Airbus team is required due to major corrosion.
What engine type are they operating V2500 A1? if so what routes are planned as the A1's dont like the heat and have a reliability issue. A5's are a much better engine.

A330's are in high demand so I doubt Strategic will have any problems getting work for it.
The difference is topend is that the Strategic birds are flying. If Skywest require an Airbus team it will be in the hangar for a number of months and cost about the same amount they paid for the frame.

Still the Hangar Queen in the north end of the Boat Shed at JHAS.
Not going anywhere soon from what I've heard. It's going to need a large axe to remove the tap roots when time comes.
Although I did hear a rumour they're trying to get it back to Perth on a PUS as it's costing cubic dollars to have it where it is.

Thanks NAMD
Gels with what I've heard - third or fourth hand.
Gives me no pleasure to see the XR crew (who took me on with such venom in relation to launch date) proven wrong. Clearly this is fast becoming just another broken promise - first given to them many years ago. Looks like the porky pies that management have been telling their clients, about capability, carries through to the long suffering crew.

Evilc, whilst I bear no relation with XR, it seems you have a grudge against anything XR? What's up, didnt they accept you when you applied?

"..... hell it won't be plane (sic) sailing will it?"
Exactly my point Skystar.
This is the foundation and entire basis of my original post. Those that suggested it would be plain sailing were those suggesting that the addition of a new type to XR would be concluded with the aircraft up and running by July. I dared to suggest that this was impossible (as you clearly now concede) and I was vilified for it.
This vilification included the allegation that I have something against XR, just as you have now done. I do not. I have great respect for their crew, as I have stated many times in this forum, however I would be very concerned with management over this issue if I was an XR employee. I have never applied for a job at XR and have no intention to do so in the future.
If you go back and read my very first post you will see that all I was saying was that the timeframe suggested for EIS was a dream. I then put my justification into dot points as to why it would not be plain sailing.
