Origin of FlyGlobespan 757's…

So GSM’s fleet will consist of 737-600s, 757s and 767-300s.

GSM have/getting 737-300, 737-600, 737-700, 737-800, 757-200 and 767-300.

Apparantly the ‘new’ 757’s for Jet2 will be 6th, 7th and 8th off the 757 production line

Noooooooo. It’s a/c 6, 7 and 8 in the Jet2 fleet.

So GSM’s fleet will consist of 737-600s, 757s and 767-300s.

Im sure flyglobespan will do there home work before purchaseing the 757s the airline is expanding fast and will need reliable aircraft.

Tommy this is about FlyGlobespan not Monarch, there has been enough Monarch threads from you on here. Let’s discuss the topic in hand.

Well Monarch are getting another 2 or 3 A321’s for next summer, maybe this will oust the early 757s.

Will Monarchs 757s ever go to JET2 ?

Depends if there up for sale.

Seems to be a demand for old 757’s at the mo.

Well there is a demand for 757s. The old ones must be either very cheap or the few that are available.

both the mention 757s have just over 60.000 hours on there air frames.

Apparantly the ‘new’ 757’s for Jet2 will be 6th, 7th and 8th off the 757 production line, that started life with LTU!

T5 – Was going to ask exactly the same question..

I hear a certain american based cargo carrier is after 100 757s to replace there 727s.

Will XLA’s 757s operate to Banjul this winter then from MAN ?

I have flown on the 757 excel are getting rid of , they do sound dodgey on take off and both have no in flight entertainment.

Define “dodgy”…

Have you got any clues as to where the remaining 2 may be coming from, Jethro?

I have an idea, but have been asked not to publish anything yet. Not entirely sure that they have been agreed on.

Whoever from GSM thought it was a good idea to acquire those particular rustbuckets hasn’t obviously got there head screwed on right.

They were dire for XL on their charter schedule; god knows what they’ll be like doing atlantics every day.

Rather far from the conversation…but can anyone imagine what it will look like in the GSM livery??? If anyone can find a pic i would be most greatful!!!

I don’t have an issue with the safety, I agree with what you said, it’s more a reliability issue I have. These aircraft are 21 years old and are going to be doing transatlantic runs on a daily basis come next summer and GSM aren’t going to have any back up if things go wrong so I’m just hoping that they will be reliable enough, given their age…

Yep, see what you mean totally. I would guess that Excel are getting rid of them ASAP due to their unreliability – certainly what I’ve observed at Gatwick is that the 757s do have a habit of being rather late sometimes.
