Can we therefor conclude that TC is badly organized and don't have the means for medium-haul if they don't find a replacement in a few hours. Offcourse if it would be my flight I wouldn't be happy either...
But for some it seems only SNBA has the right to 'exist' and have the 'means'...
Planes have technical issues all the time, except if it's OO-TUC it's 'breaking news'.
And oh well OO-TUC will leave the fleet in a year to be replaced by the 787. It wouldn't be very cost effective to find and use a newer 767 for just a year...
And I'm quit certain that when the 787 comes to the fleet, it will have lots of technical issues in the beginning as with every new type of aircraft wherever and whenever it's introduced...
Exactly what my point was, many forget as well that SNBA has technical issues as well mostly on the long haul fleet: OO-SFW and OO-SFM for instance. But they have the means to arrange this in a ok-timeframe. JAF and TCB do not have this means directly and thus always have to look for a leasing solution in most of the cases.
