Not sure that "scheduled maintenance" includes bashing the engine into the hangar door. Anyway, i thought the scheduled C-Check was in November?

So was it the scheduled 'C' check?

I know a lot of people at Cloudbreak were getting Pis*&ed off with the delays caused by FNP's breakdowns.

Re Strategic, they wouldnt have the fleet to cope with Cloudbreaks traffic volume would they?

Even if Strategic had an aircraft, are they really in a financial position to survive ?

I believe there is a QF subsidiary getting 10 x 100 seat jets, I also believe that subsidiary's contracts are being sourced by Mr. Forests best mate, you do the math....FF points anyone ?
A friend of mine at Skywest tells me the hangar queen won't be getting a hangar partner anytime soon

FNP was sent to MEL AOG for an O/Speed fault, not exactly what I would call scheduled maintenance. It was then ran into a set of entry stairs and had the intake cowl damaged.

The opportunity was taken to complete an A Check, but the C Check wasn't even looked at...

Cheers,
MkII

UFO, haven't you heard? According to the Network Staff they've won the FMG contract so the bus is no longer required.....

Oh I dont know Arthur, but with 10 F100s coming soon, the FMG contract extended to Skywest for another 6 months, some casual use of the 61x737s mummy and daddy own, I'm sure they will cope
(and I believe No5 F100 arriving in 2 weeks closely followed by 6)

Been away for a while. reckoned that the dependance on the old girl would eventually bring XR unstuck. Such is life. I am not sure that I believe it but have heard that QF have brought Alliance as well as Network, any info anywhere??. May well find out when I front up to the QF terminal to go back to Cloudbreak next Wed. As with falcon x, where is the old girl?

The old girl's getting it's GPS fitted in Singapore and should be back shortly. What to do, not sure? But I guess we'll find out soon.
