What do the 748 pilots do for the 360 days of the year they're not flying (assuming training and testing takes 4 days and one day off for Christmas)?

I believe that the TRE was a former LTC and long-term ex-employee of Emerald. He managed to jump through the necessary CAA hoops despite not having flown much since Emeralds demise - Bloody Well Done, PK!

Let's hope that whoever is in charge of the Commercial Dept is working 24/7 to a secure a Contract.

TRE

Well done PK.
Spent many a Sat evening with PK having a glass in the dreadful Ascot hotel in Douglas IOM.
He was still happy to talk about 3rd segment climbs at midnight!!!
Good luck

That is not good news

I heard a rumour tonight that AMS in Blackpool (Originally Emerald Airways Engineering) is to close up shop at the end of March.

Anyone know if this is true or where the aircraft remaining there are going?

Both Janes' 748s are now sitting at SEN, with 'IM having arrived today.
Don't know what that's all about.

Perhaps JAN OPS 1 would be kind enough to give us an update regarding this apparent move south.

I am guessing with the impending closure of AMS at BLK that Janes have moved the aircraft back to SEN and are outsourcing there maintenance elsewhere.

How very profound and, I am guessing, perhaps somewhat tongue in cheek...

"UV" departed BLK today to pastures new

ETA

A large part of aircraft G-BPNJ (ex ZS-ODJ) departed BLK today in the form of scrap in skip wagons.

G-OPFW faces the same fate very soon.

Slightly off topic but has anyone seen the Visit IOM advert on TV featuring none other than Keith Shawcross?
