Little Friend, no I am very much full time.
In approaching 3 years of flying full time into BRS I've had to divert 3 times due to weather. Thats not much and each time we've been able to get back in within an hour or so.
Similarly I've only once had to depart without all the bags due to a freakish combination of QNH, temperature, wind and MEL convergence. The 700's and Airbuses would have been/will be fine.
The weather at BRS is interesting by virtue of being 600ft up next to a shallow sea channel on the Western coast. It does quite amazing things, but rarely does it stop 737s from operating. Indeed a couple of times the place has an almost Prestwickian quality - when everyone else is out BRS sits apart in its own little weather system operating perfectly. I've seen it several times Cat 3 everywhere in the UK apart from Prestwick (9000m 11kts/Vrb) and BRS (CAVOK 2kts/Vrb) sat like a castle in the sky above the fog.
Anyway, where's Exeter again?
Cheers
