I see easyJet and Ryanair are both doing well. Not surprising really. We all like ‘cheap’ but just how cheap can they go?? (See Link Below) I just hope that the ‘cut it to the bones’ plan does not encroach into aircraft maintenance procedures ?? I remember working on a 767 flown by Uzbekistan Airlines a few years back and every item we planned to change/replace had to be authorised by there Engineer. All replaced items where ‘bagged up’ and taken back for recycling !! (into what ??)

It’s never going to go away is it? Now Rolls Royce have announced they are stopping production of the Trent 900 engine used in the 380 for at least a year. They are not laying people off but this must have a knock on effect to other maybe smaller suppliers who are involved with this problematic aircraft and its various systems. Was ‘The Biggest’ really the way to go Airbus?? (Biggest Aircraft = Biggest Problems) Only time will tell. Can’t wait tell the Dreamliner gets into full swing and we get to hear of its production progress !!

Hi readers. Sorry for no updates but I have been on vacation. Got my FASS contractors passport whilst resting to! A good 2 days I thought. Lots of information on Human Factors. The instructors from Bristol College did a good job with the subject. So anyone still to get there course I can recommend booking through Staffsecure (http://www.staffsecure.ltd.uk/courses.php). Its a lot of ‘dosh’ but you got to have it guys. Heard through the grapevine Toulouse is going a bit sour and some contractors are getting laid off. When that contract gets fully sorted is anyone’s guess!!
