....after he almost burnt down an AAI Tristar
Inept codhead AAI mechanics who failed to show up as scheduled did the dirty deed.
Nothing much has changed I expect.
No surprise there....

freeborn, you might be surprised to know that AAI have operated for SVA for about 20 years, and I believe that they were operating about 10 aircraft for them at the end of 2010.............. So they must be doing something right

As for EV..... it will be an interesting experiment, I wonder if they are ready for the local chaos

We are here and ready to go just dealing with the local chaos now. We spent 6 years here with a cargo plane (N485EV) in the early 90's it is much different now. Some good but for the most part a slow go. We just want to get started sometime next week..

freeborn , it looks that you don't have a clue about the lease deal between AAI and National Airlines ( which is good )
You just make a fool of yourself

BTW, another 744 ( TF-ALF ) goes into ops for National shortly !

Ev

For all of us ex Saudia crew that did fly for Saudia during the mid and late 90"s.
Evergreen gave us all countless numbers of Jump seats from JED to JFK through Brussels so we could get home to our family.

When the Saudia JFK flight did not match up with our ACM and our 6 block days off every month, Evergreen always helped us out with just a phone call, no questions asked.
Good on them for coming back there to Saudia.
Probably not many remember those days but some of us was happy they were there.

Sonny,

TF-ALF will come onto line when out of Heavy Mtc. but another 744 will be removed. All aircraft's to go back to the US upon certification.
There is no log term deal there.

The mismanagement by AAI is nothing new. They have a proven poor track record.

@KnightRyder
don't worry, nobody was talking about long term

BTW, if AAI would be really so bad like some of you think ( or better wish ), they wouldn't be in business anymore
