I hear what you're saying, e.g. Cessna did manage to get the 560XL figures horribly wrong in places and have done nothing. But I suspect Cessna realise that Blink or maybe LEA's success in operating Mustangs could be very significant with the Phenom snapping at their heels. I'd redo the math if I was them ;)

the Wings

I hear what you're saying but Cessna will go for the higher MTOM. Its hardly a groundhugger and an extra pax for a given fuel load would give the marketing people more to work with especially at the mo

I know what you mean about the excel figures, the bravo had some kinks in what in many ways were (is) fairly linear figures especially in the wet. Perhaps its a straight wing thing.

Blink
 

I hear a number of Blink pilots have been laid off. Did the company give any reasons and are more cuts to follow?

Cracks starting to show?
 

I've heard a very similar story out of luton. Apparantly the pilots had the chance to save jobs by taking a pay cut? One or two didnt want to join the party so people are having to be laid off....doesnt bode well for the future of these guys.

Cracks....
 

Thought Blink was doing ok, when I went to the interview....maybe they were spinning a yarn.

Diesel, when did you get an interview? I sent them my CV but im still awaiting a response.

Either way it sounds like another jetbird...couldnt of been a particularly close company if the pilots were happy to accept redundancies...

Oh No - African Drunk
 

African Drunk, you are a very very naughty boy. If I have told you once I have told you a thousand times, no listing on PPRuNe please. I mean, you are meant to lead by example. What on earth will your pilots think of you if they observe your infrequent, but fairly regular listings. Now go sit in the corner and think about what you have done. You're a very naughty boy. I don't want to bend you over my knee, mainly as I know how much you will enjoy it.

Ooooh - didn't realise we couldn't post on here ?!?........is this a new ruling then European ?? lol

:E

Stupid Boys !!!

Excellent 'Flat Spin' :ok:
Harry would be proud.

Were any of Blinks aircraft stuck at Blackbushe while it thawed out?

What's this X933, a post on topic?

Whatever next!

Oops, sorry, didn't realise that further posts had to detract less and less from the original subject :E

Seconds out, round two...
