EK 343's to Sri Lankan

Looks like five airframes going to CMB.

See Airliners.net | Airplanes - Aviation - Aircraft- Aircraft Photos & News


The roster implications cant be good for 330/340 guys.

Dunno why! Less flying across the "classic 'Bus" fleet may help the rosters - at least with days off!

Shame though - I always enjoy flying the 343! A gent's aeroplane, nothing happens fast and you can bump around in the turbulence knowing that you've got about +/- 25 knots to play with before something goes DING

Maybe the flying will be re-deployed onto one of the 90 A380's that are soon arriving..?

Serious..... the 343 is a dog, old, underpowered and a pain in the arse with no CPDLC and an ACARS that Noah used in the ark.

Sri Lankan can have them and I'll take the days off rather than the rosters we are getting at the moment.

Maybe so - but with the 343 doing LOS,ACC,MXP you ain't gonna use CPDLC anyway Personally I like the old girls
