TNT STN base to close.

[woptb]

Thought it was worthy of a new thread.
Just announced TNT STN to close.Not quite sure as yet what it will mean for STN based people,but being one myself it doesn't bode well!

Source please...

Where and when did you hear this ?
I have just spoke to my best mate who works at STN for TNT
and he has heard nothing as of 1800 hrs today 06/04/09...

In fact they have just rcvd many new vans and lorries at STN.

i think they would tell the guys at TNT stn before blabbing it on a forum.just another rumour, do you mean the air hub, or the depot, or the tay maintenance facility......or the lot?????????.give us a clue.

[nitrodave]

guys - it's the a/c maintenance base which is closing. TNT will still fly out from STN - which a/c tho remains to be seen, as the A300s are going......

[old-timer]

where are the A300's going, anyone know ?

[paul247]

they are off to the deserts of arizona, apparently six have been brought by the same company(not know who yet), and as for what aircraft, well it will be 757,s to replace the a300.

[daz211]

Been advised, 752's Islandair...

[paul247]

i hear there using seven 752,s, most already in TNT livery.

[daz211]

TNT livery ?

Are you talking about the [SURE WE CAN] new livery or are
they done in the old livery ?

[paul247]

livery

well they have been flying for TNT for a while now,so i reckon the old livery. but as they are increasing the work load,any new 757,s that come in for livery will get the new paint job, that is of course if TNT request the planes be painted up. time will tell. this is i hope only a short term solution until TNT replace the a300,s, i hear that they will be a330,s...sweet.

What aircraft are affected?

[daz211]

Change the title !

The title on this thread needs to be changed, it needs to say
that TNT a/c maintenance at STN is to close

This thread has caused many people to worry unnesesarily about their
jobs at STN and should by changed asap...

[woptb]

20 UK based pilots have been offered redundancy terms in addition to 30 LGG based pilots.All those affected already know the terms on offer.
It seems as though more than the Italian & Spanish 146's may go plus 2 737's,equipped with PEMCO doors.

True, but there are a little under 100 employees at STN TAY with every reason to worry.
