TCX Double Capacity at Newcastle

Thanks Bhoy, you got it all in one!

Wys said yesterday that if a Condor 767 comes to britain for the summer, that it’d probably be crewed by Condor flight crew.

However, he said ages ago that he hoped one of the other UK Charters got a 767-400, as if there was one on teh UK registry, it’d automatically get added to his licence. Therefore, I think it’s safe to assume that he’s got a licence for the 767, as the cockpit’s basically the same as the 757’s, anyway. (I think there’s a day or two of retraining required, but that’s all)

So, next summer we’re going to see a TCX 767 on the UK long-haul charter runs then?

Will this be a lease do you think or a permanent arrangement.

Whatever the case, it’ll be good to see another wide-body in the fleet; pity its not another A330 though.

Thanks Wys.

Wys did you already fly a 767? Is your license valid for any 767?

No, a LGW 320 will replace the MAN 757. Both 330’s go to LGW and probably a Condor 767 operating from MAN.

Does this mean capacity is going to be reduced at MAN?

I mentioned this in another post a couple of days ago Pembo. I presumed the Geordie brigade had all seen it. It’s actually a MAN aircraft that will relocate for the season and is supposed to be crewed by touring MAN crews.
