FSTA Updates
More fiction.....
The MSO requirement is a fixed-wing background.
KF.....you obviously enjoy winding people up; fair enough, but, by quoting specific trade and background figures, you are giving an air of authority and credibility that you do not have.
Your numbers and trades are no better than guesswork, and incorrect at that. Feel free to PM me for a credibility check

No
You have an element of knowledge....
That does not make your words 'gospel'..... and you are, of course, relying on second-hand information.
Still.....it is a rumours network........

Gentlemen, I just have to point out that BEagle is a consultant for Air Tanker on all aspects of the FSTA from piloting the aircraft to who presses the button to put the hose out.
No, I merely told you that I do not act as a consultant to a specific commercial organisation.
Whether or not I have provided advice to military AAR requirements staffs is an entirely different matter.

KF,
You appear to be a right miserable so and so......
I hope you haven't lied about your age, in which case you will be out in 2 years, at which point all your comments will no doubt become "irrelevant and superflous"........
Or are you just having a bad hair day?

Tristar Probes
The main reason for the removal of probe on Tristar was the engine fatigue life Whilst Pilot chaps paractised the fatige life was getting trashed. At the end of the day the Engines were not design to spoole up and down throughout the cruise.
Champagne anyone...?
bunta130 - I see that the ill-informed tosh on here has finally reached the point where its driven you into print! Knew it would get to you eventually
KF,
I don't want to start a pi**ing contest, but for the purposes of clarification:
Yes, I am a Nav.
I already have a rewarding and meaningful job, at least for the next few years. I am not personally interested, nor have I ever been, in becoming a MSO. The thought of working at Brize alone is enough to put me off, and the job itself doesn't appeal.
It was BEagle that first talked about using Navs as MSOs. I suggested initially using a mix of "surplus but in need of employment" aircrew of various trades as a sweep up post SDR. That included both Navs (WSOs) and WSOps.
I guess that will teach me to take an interest in a part of the RAF that doesn't effect me directly.....
My comment that you "appear" to be a miserable so and so (what an insult eh!!!) was in regard to your "put down" comments to BEagle on this thread and PN on another I had literally just read. Your comment to me could also be seen as something of a put down (I know, I should......"dry your eyes princess", "man up", "if you can't take a joke", etc).
Enjoy your time on BA, and remember, lying is a bad thing.....
Edited for an afterthought!

As promised......
First 'names' have been identified. There are no hard and fast quotas in either trades or backgrounds. Minimum qual will be FW WSOp course, no 'max' qual. As ever, it will be best individual for the job, recognising that plans may change following early experience with the type.
I shall revert to lurking in the background......

FSTA servicing
...for VX275, to clarify, it´s really not correct that Lufthansa Technik will be responsible for FSTA servicing. The contract announced last week broadly covers provision and replenishment of components (and has an optional clause covering painting.) There is as yet no contract placed for heavy maintenance (which is obviously not a very pressing question at this point). Bear in mind also that items such as engines, AAR system and military avionics will be supported by the respective vendors.
A330 tanker gains military certification
From Flight International:
A330 tanker gains military certification
How's ol' Bubba's 767NoGo coming along? Have they even managed to sort out the Italian aircraft's wing hose problems yet?
