Finnish Airline Blue 1 is expanding its 717 fleet

[Formula 1]

The Finnish airline Blue1 will invest in Boeing 717 aircraft for its fleet to meet the needs of its rapidly expanding route network and increasing operations. The modern Boeing 717-200 with 120 seats represents the top of the short and middle-range aircraft types. The first Boeing 717 aircraft will join the expanding Blue1 fleet.

Blue1 is focusing more and more on becoming a business travelers’ airline, with a strong emphasis on both the number of routes and operations. The contents of the service product are also being renewed to respond to the new needs of the Finnish business traveler. The Boeing 717 has an important role in the company’s route strategy and the growth of operations, as well as the service experience for our customers.

I am glad I bought that Finnish all black Core Suunto watch. I support those Finnish Business Men. One bad a$$ watch! I have been getting a lot of complements from it.

There are ex-Mexicana Click planes available, 25 I think. Blue One is a very small Finnish airline that probably couldn't handle more than about 5-10 more. Not many other airlines want a large amount of them, due to lack of spare parts around the World. There may be more spare parts in the US, though.

Demand better seniority? What does that cost? It will cost ALPA and SWAPA money to pay the arbitrators.

It will cost AAI pilots their jobs.

Nice. I would never wish anyone the loss of their job/income. Especially not in these times.

The pilots at AT are very astute. They knew the could take this deal and guarantee their spot. They chose to gamble. They might come out with more...they may come out with less....or they might regret their decision as they polish up their resume. Only time will tell if they made the right decision. I for one would never wish someone to the unemployment line, but if they put themselves there....that is their decision.
