Embraer 170s VH-ZHA & - ZHB

[Bob C]

Skyliner reported early last week that both VH-ZHA and -ZHB had been sold to Trip Linhas Aereas, Brazil.

However, on Sunday afternoon (22/5), I read on Skyliner that both VH-ZHB and -ZHA had been re-registered N747CZ and N746CZ respectively to Compass Airlines, Arizona. It's now late Sunday evening (2337) in Perth and the report about -ZHB has been deleted from Skyliner.

Can anyone please set the record straight ?

Thanks in adavance.

Ironic how theyre sold to Compass eh?

I saw ZHC outside JHAS Hangars Melbourne- i am pretty sure its set to go overseas pretty soon or already has??

All 170's are going to Compass - Delta Connection.

ZHC departed last Friday.

Thanks Rob ; so Skyliner's first reports were incorrect.

So when are ZHD, ZHE and ZHF leaving?

So with 3 E70s remaining, what former E70 sectors have changed aircraft type? For example at 8:30 in the morning, you have the HBA-CBR on the ground at CBR (getting ready to go to either SYD or OOL), the SYD-ABX and SYD-PQQ in the air and the CBR-MEL-MQL-MEL-CBR just taking off from CBR. One of those can't be operated by E70, which one?

Triggered by welding

Columbus Division of Fire Chief said it appears welders working on the front portion of the aircraft caused the plane to catch fire.
