Know exactly what you mean. Saying that though when DO XL release their summer 2006 flights.
I thinks FCA have been waiting on an announcement regarding the Exeter takeover now that seems almost set they may release something. FCA rep seems to be very quiet when you ask about '06!!
I read somewhere regarding FCA and their 2 new 767's that they are reducing the capacity (seems like a very Bristol thing to do) and they won't be operational until Oct' 06. Why don't they just park 1 on the western Apron and we can rip out some of the seats. Better still bring it here and operate it via SNN to SFB and further. Sell say 50 BRS/SNN seats put all their luggage in one hold and the onward luggage/Cargo in another. After all a long haul with tech stop is better than no Long Haul at all.
On another Long Haul note Fancy X-mas shopping In NY fly Co for around £350. Has to be better and quicker than going into Brs!!!
