Perhaps the head training pilot was less than impressed with the taxiway at the western end of the airfield. I was once speaking to a BY pilot on a flight deck visit (pre 9/11) & I asked him what he thought about flying 75's into BLK. He stated that the western end taxiway was too narrow for 75's but everything else about the airport was fine, a different Captain on the return sector a week later raised exactly the same point.
With regards to Jet 2 are they still to base 2 73's at BLK this summer or are they now only basing one a/c? The reason for asking is that I am still keenly awaiting an annoucement from Jet 2 regarding these much talked about routes to 'citybreak' destinations. I believed AMS & CDG were mentioned, does anyone out there from either BLK or Jet2 know whether these are going to be announced soon or has this been put back until winter 06/07? I am looking at going to Paris round about the end of May, have been holding out from booking a flight from MAN or LPL in the hope of Jet2 announcing a CDG route. Any offers?
Thanks in advance
