NEA
 

Ex NEA boss David Antrobus received an OBE at the weekend for his services to the General Aviation community.
:D

Have NEA started operating an aircraft again? I heard a "Netax" callsign on the R/T departing MAN today (20th) around midday.

Yep - have an AOC and manage/operate a Lear 45 I believe. G-MOOO maybe???

Lear 40 I believe, first of type on the UK charter market.

Manufacturer: LEARJET INC
Type: LEARJET 45
Serial No.: 45-2007
Mode S (hex): 400D38
Popular Name: LEARJET 40

This is the official info on the a/c.

What's the difference between a Lear 45 and a 40?

The Lear 45 has 8 passenger seats, the Lear 40 has 6.
The Lear 40 is also has slightly less range.
Both are a common type with regard to training.

What is the range of a lear 40 / 45 ?

MrM

Official numbers from Lear between 1680NM-2000NM. 40 shorter range than 45.

O:8

AWR - thanks for the info, you're right - it is G-MOOO. I saw it again today a couple of times. Somebody said it was doing training at Woodford or something.

BTW congratulations to Mr. Antrobus! :D

Congratulations would use that term loosely!

Oh well guess he has been floggin the old horse for a while.

Congrats to NEA. Great team of guys there work hard and very proffesional. big hats off to the Chief Pilot and Operations Manager (What a legend).

The Other Side

Its a great shame that you cannot support the Company that employs you The Other Side.

Could anyone advise me whether Northern Exec recruit their own cabin crew.

Or some of you fellas must know any private airlines that are taking on cabin crew.

Thanks in advance.

I do support the company that employs me!!

The Other Side

No cabin crew on a Learjet unless you are a dwarf!


Good oufit though, best ops staff on the planet.

Probably
 

Special Brew.... Surely you mean PROBABLY the best ops staff on the planet.

Depends who you are batting for really does'nt it?

I always bat for the right team! How is Liverpool anyway?

Chief Pilot
 

:ugh: Has NEA's chief pilot learnt to differentiate between runway edge lights and centre lights yet ?

I would like to congratulate David Antrobus on his O.B.E. If anyone deserved that for his services to aviation and generally being a very good and loyal employer, it is he. Without Mr Antorbus, his operations team would have had no job to go to, including those that were taken in during their summer holidays every year to do nothing behind the desk other than look on the internet and get paid for it!!!!!!!!!! The other side, we hear little about the company that employs you! As for batting for the right team, that was always debatable!!!!!!
As for the good team that works there, there are a few that are not even worth mentioning due to their constant whining and lack of loyalty throughout the years. Maybe I am a little unfair with regards to a couple who loved their jobs and the company they worked for.

Sounds from the last posting that NEA are having bad luck with Chief Pilots again. There was only one good one and he was the last one.

All my love

Congratulations to the great helmsman.:D
Puck, your'e obviously not a pilot.
