CBB took a very slow taxi and then took off on 25R.

Does anyone know if it was a test flight, or if it was returning to the leasor ?

Tought times for these pilots.

With recent capacity cuts in all markets, the only thing I can think of is Cargolux who are waiting for the 748, so might be eager to take a few pilots to operate the 744's.

These pilts join the line of 1500 European pilots who have been furloughed in the past 6 months.

Just ringing a bell for young dreamers who imagine that they'll find a job 2 years and at least 60000 euro later.

Both KLM Cargo and Martinair Cargo announced on Friday that they are grounding 2 x 744-F each.
