Cargo B Airlines: aircraft in maintenance

[PeterP]

I overheard a conversation of a cargob crew outside the crew center talking about crews being made redundant and some being fired already. Seems to be odd if they get more airplanes.

Hi,

Were should this B747-400ERF Come from ???

The problem about the crew is due to the 3 man cockpit becoming a dual one !! They have about 23 flight engineers, I let you imagine if they phase the classic out...

CBB come back...

They also mentioned pilots being send home. But I didn't hear the whole conversation.

I heard some news about the 3rd plane: it is a brand new B747-400ERF !! To come by the end of october in BRU. Training of the first crews are gonna start next week and an other bunch in december and january.

Luchtvaartnieuws The Netherlands reconfirms that the 744 will be here end of October:

Where is this B747-400F coming from? Is this a wet lease from some other company?
Rumours said it was a new one but getting a slot with boeing at such short notice seems impossible....

Let s wait and see (again)

[Accry]

CBB left PEK @ 1845 z and landed in PVG @ 2036 z

[Skystef]

Seems CBB made it afterall, touchdown BRU at 1305LT on Sept. 26.

[Atlantis]

Both, CBA and CBB, were standing next to each other in late afternoon at Brucargo.

[ups 747]

saw 2 b-cargo plaines at brucargo today

[Skystef]

Monday Sept 29.
CBB took off at 1845 on the regular cargo service to S-America.
CBA also took off around 2130 for a ferry flight.

[Atlantis]

I'm surprised they always talk about the cargo routes to South-America (B747-400) and the two other B747-200 as back up and charters. They don't talk anymore about their two - three flights a week to Africa.

What's going on with this route?

Routes to Africa have been suspended since end of June. Reason: too low yields. They will concentrate on markets in S-America and will focus in the (near?) future also to Asia.
