It's been kind of quiet lately about the aircraft search to fly the PHL-PEK route beginning in less than a year.....

Any updates??

Yea, They are digging up the old PSA 146's
All one class....
None...

A330-200s with blocked seats. Whoever dreamed this up is richly deserving of the new Executive Bonus Program. :huh:

 

[CubsFanJohn]

With a A332, that would leave them almost no extra range, so not a good move, if the Sandle Castle was smart they would have ordered 2 or 3 A340's for China When they first won the award.

 

[USBDL]

How about getting a couple A380s?

 

[legacy-to-LCC]

if the Sandle Castle was smart

LOL!!!!

 

[BuffaloJoe]

Just hope that Sandcastle paid the Credit Card so that the Pilot can pull into a Wawa and refuel. Hey, I'll put it on My CitiBank Aadvantage Mastercard, I just got an increase.

I heard they were going to use the Piedmont Dash-8's for the China runs and replace the Express routes with Cessnas?

Or maybe use of the ex-Mesa B1900's and use a USAF KC-135 Tanker for re-fueling.

 

[Travelpro72]

Do we have any idea seriously as to what this jacked up company will do for lift to Asia? The YAHOO CRACKERS must be really grabbling to get a low price on something. Maybe some old junked TWA 747's?

The Kids in the Sandbox are watching Red Bull commercials for new long range aircraft designers.
