So just an update on MaxJet's planes at JFK, 250 and 251. 250 should be gone by the time of this post. She is going out to Victorville and will reconfigured for 260 seats and will be flying for Air Seychelles as one of their planes is down. I got aboard 250MY and talked to the rep from ILFC, very nice guy, some MaxJet employees were on hand getting the plane ready for departure. They were waiting for fuel which was being paid in cash as well as other ground service, all cash and carry basically, very interesting to see. The MaxJet folks were in good spirits and they couldn't have been any nicer, I wish them the best of luck.
I have to say I wasn't impressed with the cabin..typical biz class seats, AA's biz class is much nicer. The cabin was also very worn, you could tell MaxJet def took the cheap way out. Sorry no pics of 250MY, lots going on in the cabin and didn't want to be a bother to the crew and ILFC, but again they were all very nice and I thank them for the time they spent with us.
The MaxJet Plane in Vegas is also going to Victorville, no ETA though.
As for 251 she is missing an engine and god knows how long she will be there for. She's parked over near the old PanAm hangars where the Varig 777 was parked for more then a year. There is questions as to who will be paying for the engine replacement.
