rvwnsd Posted October 27, 2019 Report Posted October 27, 2019 11 hours ago, Erin Mishkin Jr. said: Why are retired Novas being used as Instruction Buses? 2 hours ago, sht6131 said: My immediate thought is that according to sw4400 updated garage roster FG has 71 active 6400`s. I don`t fore-see these 6400`s being retired soon. Some present operators and new hires still have to qualify to operate them. There's also the notion that many trainees may have never driven something as large as a 40' bus. The retired buses serve to familiarize the trainee with driving "a bus." If they happen to have a little scrape at least it is a 20 year old bus, not one of the newest buses in the fleet. Quote
