JMC Cancels Longhaul Programme
I'm hearing a rumour that JMC are stopping all Longhaul flying on the 1st of June.
I personally believe that they might be canceling some loss making routes like St Kitts and other Carrbbean destinations
Can anyone confirm deny or elighten?

JMC DC10 will stop flying long-haul from 01 June........but they have contracted a BY 767 to operate the old DC10 routes under JMC flight no`s. The DC10 will be used as a standby unit to cover the core programme for the Summer months.
That is the picture I have anyways!!!

The answer is: No they are not discontinuing their longhaul programme. If they were then the spanking new A330s on order would be quite redundant!
From 1 June they will discontinue service with their final DC-10, GLYON. Britannia 767s will be used for longhaul flights pending delivery of the A330s.

They're cancelling all Caribbean flying except the core destinations for JMC holidays such as Cuba & Dom Rep.
All SFB flying will continue and yes the A330's are still coming. What I've since heard is that all the routes such as Tobago St Kitts & Barbados etc will go.

G-GOKT DC-10-30 has been parked by the cargo area at MAN for some time . . . it has been retired from service (there is some speculation as to what is going to be done with it). G-LYON, their last remaining one, will continue service, as said before, until 1 June, when JMC can finally say they have a modern fleet!

SFly. Understand that the BAL B767's will be wet lease. Does that include the cabin crew or just the pilots? Bal pilots, what do you think of operating back into Sanford? Was one of the reasons you moved to MCO not because of ATC worries by aircrews?

Don't get me started with BAL . . . I'm devoted to Sanford and I am in attack position! 
Without wishing to knock the DC-10, I haven't a clue why JMC are getting rid of them, but BA got rid of theirs, MON only has one anyway, and AIH just nicked a few from Premiair because it was the only thing available to relive tension on their own longhaul fleet. I wouldn't call that "success", even though in America it has proved to be a reliable workhorse. G-LYON will hang around for a while after retiring as a back up, but I must admit it will be kind of sad!
Cheer up everybody!
