EHM-1001 Robert:
Hi folks, probably it damaged too with the hacking. I will take a look at it when getting home ;)

Thx for notice.

EHM-1652 Doug:
On the other hand  - we could always ask the CEO and senior managment team (hint - hint) if it would be available for special one off charters - such a fine aircraft - such a waste to keep it in a hanger ;D !  And real world -if media reporting is correct - such a move is under consideration in France!

Happy new year to all!

I can remember in the really really old days,(hint: that means year 2002) when I joint this fine airline. Back then getting to fly the Concorde was hard work. Back then it was part of the main fleet, because we didn't have the divisions yet. If I remember correctly, You need to be ATP + you needed to have flown a certain amount of hours in the 747 before you could take it out for a spin. And back then becoming a ATP was also something of a project. I think the amount of hours needed where 2 or 3 time what it is today. Few month after I joined all this was changed to what it is today.
Well kids that concludes this weeks episode of 'pages from the EHM history book.'

EHM-1953 Daniel:
thanx for the answers.. really liked the episode of pages from the EHM history book! =) some history is always fun =) so, Karsten, you didn't reach ATP + before the change...?
I'm really fascinated by the concorde... such a fine aircraft..! and now that it's retired it's almost like a ghost for me.. such a large bit of aviation history..!  

will never forget when we in school had a européen project, and landed att Charles de Gaulle this fall, and after a long taxi the concorde was to be seen outside the window of our AirFrance Airbus A320.. really nice...! =)

EHM-0361 Karsten:
No Daniel I didn't. I think the ATP was around 500 hours or something like that. I didn't fly that much in the beginning. I became ATP for the first time around October or November 2003.
And then again in the summer of 2004. The reason why I have become ATP two times you can find by reading 'history of Euroharmony' found in library under Company.
