Attitudes at Manx2

Some time ago the IOM CAA sent a Spanish operator home because the crew couldn't speak English well enough. Might this incident be related? Perhaps they couldn't fully understand the controller and thus did not realise that the weather was that bad.

As the gentleman before said if they had diverted they would have got their hands slapped. Manx 2 have had MORs for trying to land at RAF Warton thinking it was Blackpool. I am reliably informed that some crew have level 4 certification but need a Slovak/English speaking Pilot on board to cover for them, why? If they have level 4 they should be able to understand.

Remember a couple of years ago when it was blowing over 50 kts in the Irish Sea a Manx2 L-410 was blown off its main u/c so that the tip tanks scrapped along the taxi-way on Ronaldsway.

It was only a matter of time. To much get there itis. Manx2 are a ticketing agency not an airline. This is down to Flightline BCN not Manx2. Manx2 can walk away any time, nobody official can touch them as selling the ticket is not illegal and also means that they have no responsibility.
