Well their PR section needs a kick up the arse.

The plural of AIRCRAFT is AIRCRAFT.

Topend 3, when you consider those two passengers are staff so they're probably on an ID90 ticket, it makes the load situation even worse.

As for the happy staff, you must keep in mind that compulsary drug and alcohol testing hadn't been introduced when the video was made. Subsequently the Pilot with the long hair has left for "FlyDubai". A place where drug and alcohol consumption only results in a hanging or stoning rather than job loss. The other one had just had a Jetstar and Virgin interview and couldn't keep the smirk of his face.

Cheers

P.S. for those who can't tell, this post is tongue in cheek

Ha nice one 320. So are any of the crew in the video still with the company!?

So which one did he go to J* or VB?

Any word on the FK747 conversion?

Take a look at this weeks Aviation Week - it looks as though ATR are the front runner for the contract, appears as though Bombardier aren't pushing too hard as they may be concerned about their Qlink relationship. ATR have just opened a sales office in Singapore where the leasing company Aviation operates from.
