Are Eastern in trouble (again)?
 

While taxying out at MAN today, I noticed an Eastern Jetstream at the end of the pier. All secured and looking (possibly) impounded.

My F/O said they may be in trouble again, or still not sorted out from last time.

Anyone know anything?

Dunno mate but there were 2 at GLA today and I handled 1 of them so they certainly are flying and I havent heard anything about them being trouble, sound like idle gossip as per!!!

The A/C in question was tucked up waiting to do a charter the next day. Since Eastern have a base at MAN this should not be such a surprse. What does an impounded A/C look like anyway, much like a parked one ?

As for being in trouble again and still not sorted from thelast time, what last time ? Never happened, more aircraft, increased frequency, good load factors, etc etc....

No

Been lots of rumours round BRAL that Eastern Air are buying the only Jetstream 41 that we actually own

Js41s for Eastern!!! Ooh er missus!
It'll be DC3s next - just like the old days. :D
