If you read this very upbeat article, it all sounds pretty good.

But I understand the 300/310 is boxed at the moment without a certification on it and is a very, very old DSI linkage machine.

The others mentioned - 737-300, 757/767 and A320 will presumably be reloacted from elsewhere, the UK must be favorite.

As GECAT have already closed one London centre, how long will they keep the other open?

With CAE, Alteon and FSI all moving sims into to UK, does this company have a future?

I once went for an interview with these bunch of whackos. All I saw was a whole company full twat heads, poncing around with their suits and ties on and running around like they were gods gift to simulators and full of self importance in and out of one meeting to the next playing petty politics and backstabbing. Full of $hYt more like. There is just way too much fat in that company.
Just my two cents worth.

I was over there in Jan. 2005 to install an A320 that we had refurbed and found out in the laundry mat that from a British Airways emp they were going to mow the Gecat building along with the B.A. Eng. building next to it to make way for a new Euro train station. None of the people at GCAT knew about it. I think they moved that 320 to Hong Kong. GECAT can't be doing that good, for they are still on the hook for a wad of cash for the refurb and I see there spare control loading stuff is still in our high-bay. They seem to be a bunch of CHEEP SOB'scuss:
