Thumbs up

Just to add: you can contact Capt. Yoyo B. Soebiyanto, Dir of Ops.
2 set of aircrew is departing to Jordan for their initial and I know that they are hiring expats as stop gap solution for first2-3 months of ops in HK.(UPS)

Is the aircraft in good condition when it was operated by ACL? and by the way who is ACL? sorry for my ignorance....

ACL is Air Contractors Ltd. in Ireland.
The A/C are OK but old , i had a lot of fun flying them in the last couple of years

A contract that Cougar could have picked up if they had decent people to go and find work like this......but then, they got rid of all the good people didn't they. June 2003 is not too far away and I fear the silence will fall upon those JT8-217's before long. But then the MD will take his money and run (as predicted)......

Good luck to ACL though, nice one

Viking, nowt to do with ACL, the aircraft leases were up, so the lessor found the work for EI-HCC/HCD with Tri-Mg, perhaps HCB will be shifted from Kemble as I hear Tri-Mg may be interested in a second spares a/c.

To FreightDriver: The aircraft are in pretty good nick considering theyre 1968 vintage.
