A330-200

This is all really starting to sound fishy. Financing? Hail damage? I thought 2 were to be delivered in May and yet here we are 1 day until the end of the month and about a month until TLV is supposed to begin, yet no aircraft on the ramp.....

1 for May, 1 for June...now 2 for June. Their saving a ton of interest on that money!!! It should be here this week.

Or not.

Maybe they are looking for used beer cans to make the FA "sleep" facilities?

According to DECS, 279 is still TLS, "unlinked at this poinT"

Great so while it's still there make the plans to install the crew rest. Ya know, the rest you'll have to put in when you LOSE the arbitration hearing on June 4th/5th. Ooooooooh. 🙄

I feel so bad for the SJU people and crews. If they do ever pay the bill, it won't be here in time for them to tear it up before TLV ever sees it. You know some SJU one day gal has her permanent marker out ready to label everything according to the SJU pack out. COFFEE LIQ ICE A/C *** CREW ONLY. Such fun with markers. Shame.

I'm sorry but this company is such G'damn TRASH. Can't even pay for your airplane. Do they have bill collectors calling the HQ on Taco Blvd? 🙄

Have the -200's made it onto company property yet? And when does TLV startup?

 

[Dog Wonder]

It will arrive onto the property tomorrow from tolouse. tail number N279AY

Tomorrow being 21May.

Tomorrow being 21May.

To be fair, he never actually said 2009.

I heard the Aircraft has hail damage in Hamburg and that is the reason for the delay.

Who could expect hail damage in Hamburg on a plane in Toulouse?

Obviously beyond the control of US Airways.

If this was a financing problem US would have to file SEC reports to notify investors of a material change in financial position. There must be something else holding up the delivery.

This has been the longest delivery in history, from way back when the tail was spotted in the zebra scheme to financing to hail damage.

It's time to administer the epidural and make the delivery happen even if by Caesarean section.
Otherwise it's time to go back to the DOT and tell them TLV is postponed.

I am sure this week's FAQs will have the answer.
