RE: Swiss Airlines has an easter take-Off
My understanding of the A340-300 situation is, that they downgraded Swissair’s existing A340-600 order, which had beeen due to replace the MD-11’s in a few years, anyway.
Incidentally, the Swiss Website is now online at http://www.swiss.com
RE: What’s your favourite Tri-jet?
When I lived in Paris, my Neighbour was a Pilot on UTA 747’s.
RE: What’s your favourite Tri-jet?
It’s aesthetically much more pleasing than the MD-11/DC-10,
It’s powered by those fantastic RB211’s
It’s cabin layout is better (2-4-3)
RE: What’s your favourite Tri-jet?
no, it’s definately the L-1011.
RE: Airport pc of the day-24/03/02
ROTFLMFAO
Excellent, Rab, excellent!
RE: How many have gone?
well,
Swissair Asia were they really an airline in their own right?
Crossair didn’t go bust, they have changed their name to swiss, and absorbed 50% of the SR aircraft.
Balair CTA was Swissair’s charter airline, and was run as a seperate entity from Swissair. They have also only changed their name, as Swiss Tour Operator Hotelplan underwrote the insurance and fuel, which was what forced SR out of business.
RE: New Virgin Atlanic routes
I wouldn’t worry about it, shauny…
At the moment they’re just applications. They won’t feasibly be operating until at least the middle of june, but more likely the winter timetable…
RE: CArriers
very few US majors actually operate 747’s.
United do
American don’t
TWA don’t
Continental don’t
Delta don’t
Northwest I don’t think they have any either
US Airways don’t
Can’t think of any other US carriers with scheduled flights to Europe…
RE: Unusual A320 on Page 53 – April 2002
The double bogey is actually offered as an Option on all A320’s. However, as far as I’m aware, IA is the only airline to have taken teh option.
RE: Pseudonyms
it’s Celtic FC’s nickname.
RE: Small Challenge #3
it’s a 767. not sure about c/s, though.
RE: Guess these Interiors!
[updated:LAST EDITED ON 13-03-02 AT 02:24 PM (GMT)]no, scratch that.
RE: Guess these Interiors!
definately not BA uniforms…
My imediate reaction was an Air France jet… could be either A320 family or 737, though…
RE: 1,000 posts special-Where are you all from?
I’m from Glasgow, but my dad works in (and consequently I grew up in) Basel.
I had a summer job in the hangar next door to Crossair headquarters a couple of years ago.
However, I’m now at University in Edinburgh (yuk)
