Hey guys.
A quick look at the roster confirms that I am the ONLY pilot HUBbed in Greece. Therefore, as de facto station manager (our offices at Eleftherios-Venezelos contain me, co-pilot, engineer, flight crew and cat
) I have a proposition to make.
A lot of us guys fancy the idea of adding a few older birds to the fleet, the kind any airline could pick up cheaper now (727, T-154, C-119, etc...) and while I agree that these planes are a little bit too outdated for the scheduled fleet I think I've come up with a fair compromise.
LGAV has barely any charter planes based there, so whenever I need to make charter flights or a series thereof in anything but the old Dasher I have to have a bird ferried from Germany or further afield, it's a massive pain. I would request that any older planes we add to our stable be based at LGAV as charter aircraft. That way I get some more heavies to charter, and other guys can put them to good use as and when. The management are right, there's not a lot of room for say a B727 in the regular fleet, but I can think of plently of North African airports that don't have noise abatement by-laws. :lol:
What do you think? For starters I would like to request the following aircraft purchased for LGAV charters: - One Boeing 727-200; one Boeing 737-400/500 series; one Tupolev T-154 and one Fairchild C-119. This means I can also checkride them and make sure they fly straight and true... on that note, I wouldn't mind being Air-Child's official test pilot. :rofl:
What do you think?
Paz.
