Fokkerjet,
I did a quick delivery job to PDX and then home again last week, from SEA. Have you got any trips Eastbound coming up? The pint is well overdue!

Lavdumperer,
The deal is to replace the BBJ's with 737-700's, we also do still operate the 125-800. I'll let you know how we get on,
Best regards.

hi there,

I have an interview lined up and wondered if stressfree or any of the other Ford pilots would care to comment on conditions for an FO, such as pay, number of sectors etc.

Any gen on the interview style ?.......do I have to reread "handling the big jets " again or not !

Any bumpf would be appreciated....

Stressfree,

I just saw a picture of your former BBJ beauty on Airliners.net - it is being repainted in Seattle and will be used by the US Air Force as a VIP transport - I think it will be based in Hawaii for use by the Pacific Fleet Admiral. Looks like a beautiful airplane...

I think the 700s will be just as useful - and probably a lot cheaper in terms of lease rates... Any decisions about whether to install winglets? Gotta love those winglets!!!!!!!


Cheers

Cool

Lav,
I'm sure the US Air Force will enjoy our BBJ's but the -700's are far more suited to our operation. Unfortunately I doubt very much that winglets will ever be fitted to our new machines.................

I think to remember that Fordair bought a 737-800 from Braathens, Norway.
Believe they picked it up for month ago or so from ENZO...
In Ford`s colours...

West,

It was a -700 out of ENZV (Stavanger).

Nice planes.
I miss them already!

Good luck to you guys that are going to fly them.
Treat them well please.
