Did you actually think that we would not be doing Hajj flights? Or let me rephrase that...would you rather the airplanes be sitting around waiting for charters to come our way?

It's either that or go look for business and sign up for whatever is out there...that is how we have managed to make profits over some difficult times since about '08.

It's not the flying we want to do, but the alternative is a reduction in the fleet, and all that goes with that. I'm not sure I want that...

So, I'll do the Hajj flights if it comes my way...

Sorry to disappoint you "light twin" drivers. I was down at the schoolhouse and the Hajj flying was said to be done by the 744 with Garuda. It's not private news as it can be found in a certain public forum on a video. Yes, I did say public.

I'm fine that it is going to be flown with a 744 but my point was that if the Hajj contract is on the 767, I'm sure I'd be fine with it as well...keeping airplanes on the ground is not good for any of us.

And CGK is actually a nice layover...

I'm sure others will ask...I'm sure you have posted your background, and flight times, and experience before, but please refresh our collective memories.

Welcome to the family, Alcord! You're going to like it here. As you can tell by perusing the forum there are the usual pilot squawks but take it from someone who spent 14 years somewhere else: This is a good place to hang your hat (if we wore hats, that is).
