The good old 737 is the workhorse of all the planes, its the equiv to the american pickup truck. I think they would ground any aircraft for safety reasons irrespective of how popular.? Then again, they wouldn't ground any aircraft without an identified safety problem that was unavoidable. |

"I believe that FCA only have 3 767s in operation presently. FCA 767s are based as follows: 1 LGW 1 MAN 1 operates other MAN/EMA/GLA/NCL flights " In there in-flight mag it says they have 4 767s. according to their website they have somewhere between 2 and 5 depending on when in 2005 the additional 3 mentioned at the end of the page entered service - http://www.firstchoice.co.uk/info/ab...ghtsfleet.html G-OOAL, G-OOAN plus G-OOBK, G-OOBL, G-OOBM which will enter service in 2005 (it doesn't state exactly when in 2005 these 3 have entered/are going to enter service) Ian |

Only if they think there is a major problem with the airplane. And, frankly, there are major differences between the older 737-300's and the newer -600's, -700's, -800's, and -900's. AFAIK, the last time they grounded an aircraft type was the DC10 in 1979 after the American Airlines incident in Chicago. |
