Easy to kick away 737s by summer already?

Hello Guys,

just became aware that there are just about half a dozen 737s in white-orange around.
My latest information was to keep them for entire summer-season of 2010 but spontaniously (at least from the external view) a few exemplars were flown to SEN and QLA over the last weeks and heard the first opinion that EZY will be an "ALL-Airbus"-Operator by May.

Can anybody confirm this? How does this get along with new Airbus-Orders and hirings?
Quite late to transfer 737-Pilots to Airbus before start of summer-schedule so need for some more pilots than thought a few months ago?

Thank ya guys.

So all remaining 737 will be in LTN sooner or later.
Checked a little bit around on the net, according to CH-Aviation there will be at least 20 new Airbus-deliveries over the next 10 months with 6 of them soon (Serial-Numbers in the 41XX or 42XX-Range with 4205 delivered last week)

But for 3 of them there is already a customer listed which will take the planes from EZY, Aerolineas Argentinas and Eaststar (which both already took over some fellas)

10 guys going through a320 conversion course at the moment, another group starting next week. Looks like rumours might be true...

I think I am right in saying you can't do zft without 500 hours on a certain size ac. At least I think that is the rule in easy. Feel free to shoot if it's not. Circuit bashers will be the 140+ cadets with low hours starting this summer.

140!?

Wishful thinking.

60 that were laid off at end of last season have been offered Flexicrew again. And possibly another 60+ fresh faced cadets starting from two weeks ago. Last TR course with eJ for this period starts a week on Tuesday.

Kindly insert 'pay to fly muppets' instead of 'cadets'!

Ah, true about the min hours above a certain size thing. Was thinking that referred to guys training from the boeing to the bus (which should have the hours).

Another batch of pay-to-fly guys went to Shannon for their base training.
