Thank you SENIOR for sharing information. Is it possible to know names of pilots who are going to fly AP-BGY on its delivery flight from Seattle?

The aircraft should have retained Boeings house colours while the tail should have been the new Multani blue tile design one, it would have looked great.

yeah i ve heard something to that effect too although delivery might slightly be delayed. just got off the phone with capt amir kamal a close family friend and he was offered to bring back the first of the 2 aircraft but he turned down because of the palpa election in progress. btw where do they plan on deploying these 2 aircraft. my guess would be paris , and toronto and shared flts to oslo.

i dont think they d deploy a 300 seater to london, would make a whole lot more sense to use the 772s instead on a shared schedule with the jumbos. also on the heavy toronto route they wudnt be made to exclusively serve, as the larger 772 would have to complement it with the current level of frequencys. i dont think they d fly to nyc at all though houstan and chicago whose market doesnt even warrant a 310 load wise might see these new aircraft flying there. it would be best if these planes are made to fly to paris, and oslo where the 747 has been invariably brought in to cater for frequent demand spurts.

The tile work is found all over middle east and central plus south asia regions, so its not unique to Pakistan, however in the country its commonly referred to as Multani, even though its found in all parts of the country, Hala in Sindh is actually more famous for it.
