Fordair bits the dust?
Latest from the rumour factory, Ford to move their operation at Stansted to Southend. Flights reduced to one per day to CGN. One weekly flight to SAW. Stansted personnel offered redundency or transfers. Aircraft to be returned to Ford international G-JETI allready gone/sold. Heard this from bloke in pub so must be true!!

But can a 146 make Koln-SAW in one go?
Flying SEN-Koln, quick stop for some 4-star, then Koln-SAW might be viable in that case. But it might be a little slow and just how high can a 146 get?

My local Paper in Southend claims its a done deal that Ford are moving to EGMC with a spokesman saying the move will take place in 'April or May.' Apparently the flights are to be operated on a Fordair flight number but by a chartered airline, no mention who though. Could it be Flightline?

yep! It is confirmed. FLT take over and will operate the CGN route with 146.
kolibear : 146 max FL310. But usually stop climb at FL270.(non RVSM) In icing conditions you have to fly at FL260 max.
Hope it help.
Fly high!

FMC AIR OK
Hey - don't knock the FMC chaps - they did well to get a good job & they definately earn their £ & it Certainly beats working in the Lo-Co slave trade for sure !
- I knew a couple of their chaps & both top guys - definately not
'stuck in a rut' types.
The 1-11 & G1 days sounded the most fun.
EGMC seems a good choice if they extend the active - an MD went in there
a few years back - anyone remember it ?
Have fun whatever & remember - always retain a sense of humour - it helps
zillions !
