no :( no cost index. Words added to meet the minimum

Hey Bloggsie, are you considering heading over to the dark side? :oh:

"NJA, will be able to make your JULIM time, ATC estimates have you 7 minutes late!" :} :}

Could be a job for you, Clarrie. You get more miles out of a tankfull! :ok:

No RTA either!

Hear there could be some VA E190 guys that might look at gig given their Perth base is about to be shut.

Bloggs,

You don't carry enough fuel to be fussed about cost indexes :p

Looking is free

"Qantas may have something to say about the B717s being part of the Cobham fleet"


And they will. Next seven are going to Network ;)

I thought all the 717's in the world were spoken for?

When did they make this order?

I thought network were getting the 12 Cseries not B717's?... Can't see why Q would want two different B717 operations 😏

😎

Maybe the B717 operation would be set up and operated the way the aircraft was designed rather than attempts to make it like a 146 and even worse, an Ansett 146.

Oh meoooww VC9

Network's sole B717 rated check captain resigned and joined Cobham. The 5 717 's also rumoured for Easterns
mysteriously ended up at Cobham.

dear wayne kerr's, can we get back to the thread please, would be nice to know if anyone knows anything about how many E190's are on their way to Cobham.

VC 9 there is form there. The MMA F28s I flew, and loved flying, where configured to try and look like a DC9. Why that happened is another story.

Hey SOPS, they were the only ones in the world like it and had to be "reverted" when they were sold to mainly Canada.

The French company had 36 of them, all sizes and shapes, made our ops look a bit thin, although we were "Worlds best operator".

Alice Springs go around still the thing of bad dreams.

Best fun aircraft of its time.

owyergoinmateorrite?

:ok:

Not thatit matters CCruizo but your mail is incorrect, there are at least 2 717 rated pilots still at Notwork.
More importantly there's over a dozen A320 rated pilots

The refueller spoke to a stores guy who is going out with the sister of a cleaner at Cobham. She reckons that initially one airframe, followed later in the year by a second, both for Chevron on the BWX contract. After that it will depend on contracts won and then simply lease more airframes. As the cleaner explained to her sister, all the pain and expense is in getting the first aircraft on the AOC and crewed up, engineers trained etc. After that it is simply a matter of scaling.

Apparently.:hmm:

Cobham E190 arrives in Australia
 

For all the doubters, the E190 arrived in Adelaide over the weekend, so no Photoshop.

Onya biggles! :D

How are the boys going with this?

Love the new branding
 

So this is where the hits on the arrival picture are from! Thanks for looking at the shots, the aircraft departed Cranfield this morning bound for Tirana and then Luxor enroute to Australia!

Rotate by Adrian Court, on Flickr

After 10 years here you'd have thought I'd have gotten the idea of where to stand for a rotate shot, but once again I got on the wrong side of the aeroplane...one day...!

Flap 18!! :eek: Tut tut! :}

Bloggs, Flap 18 is now the company preferred take-off flap setting (in line with the FCOM.)

Well the boys and girls have been spotted in Brisbane undertaking training.

I do say, Iccy, when are you moving west?!

Now that's a pretty aircraft. Why go West????

How's the contract compared to Virgin E190?

A few minutes work and you can discover the answer for yourself...

Flew straight over the top of me today; identified it immediately by the massive blue stripe on the belly. :D

Not too close I hope, it's non RVSM :ugh:

I was waterskiing, he was on the East-Africa One departure. :}

Well that spoiled that rant, can I start one about the new East-Africa SIDs instead?

Maybe that's why the E190 is painted ocean-blue; spends most of it's time west of Rottnest avoiding Pearce... :} :}

I thought that they pinched the Skywest blue?

Don't panic, I checked today. The countrys finest minds in Canberra are processing the paperwork. I heard them at FL390 last week so it does not seem to be holding them up much.

On the big white squares. Nice.

Any one know where they do their E190 sim ? Are there any other e190 sims in ozy other than the virgin@ brissy?
