NWA parking the Avros

[jetflier]

The 9's usually only have two F/A's , for the -30 (100 seater), the dash 40/50 use three F/A's, (124 seater).....

OOPS!

Jetflier-

Just curious... Do you guys have a non-disclosure statement attached to your MEC updates??? Just since it looks as if the whole thing is front and center for the world....

 

[jetflier]

It's true...jetflier told me so.

...Maybe if you crawl out from under that rock, you just might see the poop rolling down the hill towards you!

 

[jetflier]

And you, Sir, are a true perfect ahole.....maybe thats why a lot of your fellow pilots don't like to fly with you.......thwack!!! (just the sound of the lightbulb going off in your head)

You are a total moron.

I hope your knowledge improves when you transition to the Airbus.

It's....... if you cut us do we not bleed W.S. -

What are the chances that NW will reduce the avro flying at Mesaba? I need to know if it is time to apply to that truck driving school I saw on t.v. last night.

If they were going to park her.. wouldn't they of put the avros on the list that says we are going to park them?

Look NWA needs 70-130 seaters bad and I don't mean paid for DC-9s. So even if she is a little bit pricie at 4000 lbs per hour I think they may keep her if they can renegotiate a competitive lease and put 85 seats in her.

Of course a competitve lease depends on if the Avro is in demand.

Does anyone know... is the Avro in demand overseas cause it sure ain't here.

The RJX, the third generation 146, passed without much fanfare...sad to say.

Try 5000-5400 lbs per hour at Mach .72

Even with 85 seats its an incredibly inefficient aircraft - especially when you figure in MX costs maintaining twice the engines and an EXTREMELY quirky electrical system. (It is British, after all)
