It's as much about the people

Already the charter enquiries are starting to  filter through. The flight quotation, flight following and operations software   has been system loaded  but commercial are still providing price guides  manually whilst  systems testing is completed


Although Cello anticipated  launching in the quieter 3 months of the year( football and rugby seasons essentially finished and the product launch customers heading into  the summer recess) the enquiries received so far are ahead of expectations for this quarter, considering the brokers are only just starting to get to know the carrier.

The selection of a large 43'pitch 46 seat interior for the ABJ means the European market will  now have a choice  between an economy level on board product and a significantly higher  standard for this aircraft size

There's a little frustration creeping in  across the team because  they want the planning stage over and  now 'just want to  get on with it'

Cabin crew training has been completed at
Farnborough .
Someone substituted  a 'live' life

 jacket for the demonstration  kit

 --Oh how we laughed!!

Grappling with the life raft

- and keeping their feet dry!
 Unlike last week where
 the pool  training
 got everyone pretty
wet-allover!.

Love the lining on this

coat ! Do you have it
 in black?
Trying out the
thermal blankets.

 Flight deck crew sim training will be complete within 7 days. This includes training approvals to operate the ABJ through  London City Airport with its non standard approaches

Route proving flights allow the crew to  get their hands on the aircraft again and are scheduled for 16 April prior to  EBACE attendance in Geneva
