Be careful not to get those phots out again!

who r u then. i hear aae have the mod contract. hope all is going well.

AAE has just had the full TCD livery applied to their new 747-300 TF-AME, so looks like they got the contract for a bit longer.

Travel City Direct was FED UP of European and that´s why AEE have the contract now and i´m sure for a long time. No way European will have chances to get back that contract.
I just hope that European survive enough time to pay me (and other 500 ex workers) what they still owe me (us).

While I do not doubt that Travel City may have been fed up with European, I highly doubt they're throwing a ball over Air Atlanta's service either. Punctuality on the AAE flights has been pretty abysmal. Of 702 flights surveyed by the AUC over Summer 04, over 41% were more than an hour late. Their average delay was 97.2 minutes.

Hardly earth shattering.

Punctuallity has never been one of AAE´s strong points. To be honest, as you said, it´s more or less horrendous if we compare it with other charter airlines.
But we shouldn´t forget that last summer there were about 5 huracanes hitting the costs of Florida which completely destroyed AAE´s "timetables".

And now be serious, if you were the owner of Travel City Direct, which company would you shoose to operate your flights? Air Atlanta Europe or European? (if i could, i´d choose Virgin!! hahah but this is not included). You can say AAE are normally late, and it´s true. But at least AAE have a/c which are able to fly, enough spare engines, also have newer 747-300setc... and are allowed to takeoff/land in all airports ´CAUSE AAE DONT OWE MILLIONS $$$ to hundred of companies, airports, exworkers, ground agent companies, etc, etc.... AND THIS IS THE PROBLEM WITH EUROPEAN.
