Hi Neil,

Looks like the Belgian government has 'lightented up' a bit on the B727 with some TOW restrictions.
With the B757 deliveries well behind schedule we still need the old girl.

What i heard was.....
 
Acl are getting the bari back and are starting a nine sector night to replace Swiftair.........BGY,CTA,AHO,BGY,AOI,BRI,PMI,MAH,IBZ.
This means a slight change to the roster with crewing rostering the sky dogs just 8 hours into discression. Minimum rest in IBZ then its up to CPH,OUL,GOT,ORB,CGN,BRU,FRA,PRG for a shorter night. Still its better to be flying than sat around the pool sunning yerself!......and I agree rumours are only started by wishfull thinkers and management.
I kid.....trading in yer jag yet? if yer looking for a new cat check out the Cougar Post!

Neil, not true, SwiftAir are alive and well. Dont work there but meet reps from there sometimes in my union meetings.

Dont listen to rumours in crewrooms as all you get is the bad side of the business. If you ever get into freight as a pilot you will see the good side. Meantime gimme more days off. I wanting some Stella on my 8 on/ 6 off.
