Correct! That means that if Sobelair goes bankrupt (which nobody hopes), the plane can be transferred to Hapag Lloyd with a minimal paint job.

Anyway it shows a little bit of Sobelair's future.

I don't want to see the end of Sobelair, too many Belgian airlines have gone in the recent past, it would be nice to see one of the old ones survive.

Your right Coemt, but the pilots should maybe change their attitude otherwise I fear they won't fly much longer

Many thanks for this GREAT GREAT picture Redcap.
I prefer the SLR livery because this one is far much too close to the TUI affiliated airlines (not only Hapag Llyod but also Britannia UK (United Kingdom), Britannia Nordic (Scandinavia), Corsair (France) and Neos (Italy)) and I really love diversity...

And let's hope SLR will get OUT of the financial troubles and not fall into TUI's clutches

Do I need to refer to AirBelgium and Airtour or even CityBird and NVB...

Greetz,
Dave

Logically, the oldest in the fleet shoud go: OO-SBZ

By the way, I think the OO-V** is just leased in from Virgin Xpress for the summer season.

A propos Britannia, have you allready seen their newest aquisition. It's G-OBAL

I think they could use this on during the winter, when there are less pax

And TUI apparently doesn't TUI wants an unified look for their aircraft, which is logical as others (f.e. Thomas Cook) share the same philosophy

Logics they say... Go (which has gone!) had a different approach: each Boeing 737-300

was different thanks to its belly colour

A non-scheduled airline can not survive without the support of a strong travel organization like TUI or Thomas Cook Q7 is lucky they have agreements with TUI and others, otherwise it already would have been all over and out
demol.

I'm afraid you did NOT get my point: I used 'clutches' to refer to some abusive take-over... whereas a win-win agreement is good for Q7/SLR

I don't think so, All VEX signs are OO-VE*, and secondly VEX hasn't any 800's... it would be nice for the crew... as these aircraft are great to work in

Please Fré, read the whole thread before answering a message...
I did NOT mean OO-VAS (or OO-VAS) but a OO-V** 734...

I think you meant the B734 OO-VJO. Indeed, it was leased for summer season by SLR from VEX. Operated in white, just the tail logo and small titles were painted.

Thanks Glider: I had the derivative (-400) and the first three registration letters and you bring me the last letters!

Best regards

No thanks OO-SBZ. It was a real pleasure

.

Does that reg stands for OO-Virgin Johan Ornstein? Wasn't he a previous CEO or something?

In the same category ('let's play with letters'), we can also point out
