MyTravel A330's

Does anybody know when MYT ar getting the A330's painted up? Also, what's happening to their DC-10-30? I know that the 10-10's are now in exeter, and have heared they are being sold off as cargo a/c

Doubt if the 330's will be getting a paint job in the near future. Summer's a couple of weeks away and they've all got a fairly busy programme. Would imagine that winter 04/05 will be the soonest, dependent on the Hajj etc.

The DC10-30 will be retired later in the year rumoured to be replaced by an additional 767.

Reliably informed 1st 330 (G-OMYT) will change colour in November '04 presumably followed by the others in turn.
Which way does the Hajj move on the calender ? earlier or later each year ?

You'll find many companies with financial issues may spend alot before hitting the deck.

Getting a new uniform is a sure sign the company is in trouble! Have MYT either had one or are about to get one?

The info regarding the DC10 has come from various flightcrews, I am not sure when its D check is due but am informed that the aircraft will be retired then much the same as monarch did with theirs as it is not economical to spend the millions required for this check.
