[njgtr82]

Don't know for how long but yesterday and today this aircraft is flying for L'avion. I couldnt get a good shot because its parked so its backlit.

If anyone wondered (as I did) if this meant L'Avion's passengers got a downgrade to a regular 75, the answer is no, ZAPX is apparently in 70-seat VIP configuration, see it here:

Wow, those pax must have gotten free flights basically.

They have at least 2, one of which flew from paris last night but North American flew the return leg. They're supposed to start a second daily flight but we'll see about that.

North American 757-200s can be configured in 0B/199Y, or converted to 45B/154Y in a good amount of time for various charter customers.

I can't share much else about the flight, but we often operate flights for "upscale" customers who enjoy our flights and accommodations.

I saw their BAE-146 today at ZRH a couple of times. They must have been running charters for someone, it's a nice looking plane!

Half of L'Avion's 12 pilots are on strike. Not a typo, they only have 12 pilots.

Wow that was fast, the airline isn't even a year old yet. I'm not too suprised about the number of pilots knowing that they only fly to EWR.

A friend in Paris mentioned there is some sort of general strike by French transit workers, perhaps their pilots are part of an affiliated union.

Well heres Titan at EWR tonight:
