On the palmair/astraeus thread (sorry dont know how to post a link) it says European were planning to open a NCL base, aswell as EDI and BFS, only seasonally. Is this still the case, could this aircraft be XLA's usual subbed aircraft for the summer 06 season?
Regarding XLA I think it will be highly unlikely that a 757 is based here, as did XLA not remove 757 a/c from regional bases due to engineering issues? So will XLA's NCL Summer 06 base be just 3 x 737-800 a/c or god forbid will the TF 737-400's be back?
My sincere condolences to Captain Bens family, God Bless!
