Aparently, a bomb threat today at Headquarters. In spite of the emergency exercise yesterday at the airport, "this is not a drill."

[SilveR5]

not a drill?!!!

Hey Panama Jack..

How did you come to know that??

[boiler]

the A330-200 range is around 6700nm

Is that with pax payload only or full pax+cargo?

[Panama Jack]

How did you come to know that??

Professional Pilot Rumour Forum. In the airline business, there are generally more rumours than employees . . . so I have heard throught the grapevine.

If you are insinuating something else though. . . no, sorry. I am not the type and I hope they catch the perp.

[SilveR5]

Got ya!

Panama Jack..

I don't know what the hell is wrong with my eyes..almost dropped the word rumours!

& no insinuation

Jet 777s

3x 777-300ER for GF, and possibly 2 or 3x A330-200. Initial wet lease, going dry after six months or so. Not sure when, but expect delivery soon...

3x 777-300ER going to Turkish and 2x A330-200 maybe for another ME carrier

This is good news!

One thing for certain in GF is that the Bush Telegraph is usually very reliable.
Well lads, keep your ears to the ground and a sharp eye out on the ramp for any strange birds.

Stories around this week of two big Executive Search companies (Spencer Stuart, Heidrick & Struggles) being called in urgently to find a new senior management team.

Any truth?

[Che Guevara]

This is also good news!

Interesting rumour anyway...

[Albergineman]

I heard also that the simulators are for sale!

Sims

I heard also that the simulators are for sale!

I wonder if they'll place an advert in the classified section of the GDN as they did with their 767s.

[REACH-69]

I guess the senior pilots are happy with the head of crew planning ,cause they get the best rosters and their requests are granted........good luck to the rest

[Not too small]

bomb threat

I heard he's in and little more but........
Any idea who is the guy .

[Heleheleyani]

There are some good news on the letter to pilots, does anyone know if the Jet Airways 330's wet or dry lease, and the possible airplane types for the replacement of 340s mentioned in the letter, also by february we are going back to monthly rosters so we can request 4 days + 4 days off at the end and beginning of the roster periods

[Albergineman]

They are wet-leased

[capgemini]

do we really need wet lease ,if some of our a/c gone be grounded for tech ? and why BAH -KUL BAH-BKK AND BAH-LHR ?

[stefan1138]

When are those 330s coming and how many?

[Panama Jack]

also by february we are going back to monthly rosters so we can request 4 days + 4 days off at the end and beginning of the roster periods

Are you sure about the 4 days off thing? I read the CP's newsletter today and for all the reasons given for the roster adjustment in February, this one was not mentioned. I hope you are right as this is a major life-quality issue. Fingers crossed.

When are those 330s coming and how many?
