Hey guys, if you look at the parent company Web Site, WWW.dartgroup.co.uk there is news of the 737s, the full Chairman's Statement and the Review of Operations. Hope this helps.

Channex have their own hosties who have been trained to the Icelandic AOC that the aircraft operate under. ("Them gals are jus' so pretty"! 
) There are a few guys as well. I've seen the aircraft going in and out of STN on a regular basis, not just on the mail flights. Apparently they've been bailing Go out on a few occasions and they've been getting excellent reviews!
I heard that the CAA have a few problems with the freight door? (That's not written in stone though, just what I heard....)

Skybabster777 I think you may be just a little biased about the Channex cabin crew but you are right a top notch bunch of girls and boys to work with.
The only thing preventing the aircraft from being UK registered is the lack of CAA certification for the door, this is being worked on. As soon as we can we will be UK registered.

MSF, why would Channex put an A300 up for sale if they are all under contract for the next 12 months making money?
Perhaps you should be looking at some other operator?
As for the Loadies now pushing trollies, I hear that the girlie punters just can't get enough of MM!!!!!lucky devil

Time to break my silence...
Where did you hear that vicious rumor freightdoggydog? Was it during morning prayers or from AS?
The SLF must have liked the L188 tea, no complaints so far. At least I serve it hot and I now know how to stir with a spoon...
It's a dirty job but somebody's got to do it. You've seen how good the view is...
Seriously, I for one am glad that the company didn't give us the push, unlike some freight operators would have. It's better than being in the "give us a job" queue.

Versatile lot aren't we!
I suppose that's what happens when you're shoved out on the ramp in the middle of the night when everyone else is tucked up in bed.
"Any problems, ask the Loadmaster/dispatcher/dangerous goods expert/mathematician/agony aunt/company representative....."

Both aircraft are EFIS equipped but with the old style engine instruments, they are a matched pair down the production line together and operated by Lufthansa from new.
Not quite as swept up as your 800's but working well and going places we would never have dreamed about in the hydraulic dinosaur.
