Air Contractors
I was told in DUB that Air Contractors are planning to take over one/some of Schreiner Airways A300's on wet or dry lease to facilitate their expansion. Apparently they've already been to AMS to check out the planes. Can anyone shed any light on this ?
Thanx,

True, the plan is to have six on line by next year to replace the 727's. Talks of an extra 3-4 a/c for other contracts but not confirmed yet. 3 x A300's in USA have also been inspected with a view to purchasing. Interesting to see the outcome, an all A300 fleet (excluding the Safair Herc's)

Rumours have it that ACL has won a contract to operate the A300 for Air Postal i don't know how many a/c are involved in this!
The other thing i did hear was that they don't think all the 727 will be gone by the end of next year they might just keep a couple and move them south .
EAT is problably doing the same by putting some 727 in Athens.

PS
is it true that the 727pay is being raised to the same level as the A300 on the next pay review?????????????????????????

This is very interesting indeed. Not very long ago, Air Contractors were interviewing and telling all applicants that it would be they who would be operating the ex-BA 757s. What happened, and why?
I know there are threads on R & N that speak about the new DHL ops at EMA, but I was under the (now obviously wrong) impression that Air Contractors were in on that deal in no small way.
Shame this, because I rate that company very highly. Certainly far higher than I would ever rate one under management by friend Trefor of Alidair, Birmex, and numerous other (failed) outfits.

The person to ask is "Dutchie" who works at
Schreiners! If you do get the areopostal contract, great flying and the catering is much better than a ham sarnie and a bottle of water.The more European A300's flying the better.BTW who let Trefor in charge of the sweet shop. Doh!
