    OK well she has been fixed now. It was just a a standard fuel tank problem, of which BA has about 5 of each month all across the fleet.

    The Barbados flights have now stopped, and with only 2 flights a day now, 4 aircraft is still too much. I could never understand why they needed 5 aircraft back into service anyway.

    However they go about it a replacement for the A300’s, and 767’s, and a rival for the 7E7 is needed, and I presume that is what Airbus are working on at the moment.
    I know, for example that BA are looking to replace their 767’s, and whether they choose the new airbus or the 7E7 is pivotal towards their long haul fleet stratagy over the next 20 years (747/777 replacements)

    I agree there, it doesn’t seem logical, but we haven’t heard Airbus backtracking on their inital statement that they were refusing to support concorde any further.
    However as usual it has become very political, and we are probably not being fed the whole truth.

    I think I’ve confused myself in this Concorde issue, but hasn’t Airbus refused to support Concorde after October?
    If so then how does Branson propose to keep them going with out their help?

    According to the specs the 170 is more STOL than the 145 family (But thats not hard!)

    According to the AIS charts the glideslope is still 5.5 degrees

    C, D, and E are ending their lease this year, so I wouldn’t be surprised if they were parked up with you as well Mongu.
    However this will surely prompt a takeup of the remaning options they have left with Embraer, either as more 145’s, or as I believe they will probably do, use the options to purchase some 170’s.
    With the turboprops going and ERJ’s being retired and new long range routes being added constantly they are going to have to buy some new aircraft, and the 170 is a good replacement for their 146 fleet too.

    The A318’s and Embraer 170’s were sold with the preimise that they would be able to get into LCY I believe.

    Damn foxes! We’ve got 8 Guinea pigs and a rabbit which the ones round us try to get hold of, but fortunatley we’ve got 2 rather large dogs it doesn’t like, so we don’t get too much bother from it anymore!
