INTHEOUTBACK
Thanks for the info which I've passed on.....sorry to hear that the ramp guys were messed around so much. (Sadly it sounds familiar, that is the swapping around and usual Easyjet chaos!
Further inquiries have confirmed that EZY are in a mess with cabin and flightcrew shortages leading to cancellations from several bases. Titan Airways are to fly lots of sub-chartered schedules during the next few months. Apparently Globespan have operated one route with a B767 this week due to sick aircraft.
Also bar and catering stocks are woefully inadequate on many NCL flights because supplies are only uplifted once in a morning and once in an afternoon. Typically this means that there is nothing left for the later sectors and the NCL girls get the grief and abuse from disappointed customers!
I can only speak from charter experience but you never have a problem selling to the Geordie market...ever, so why not carry the goods!
Officially though everything is wonderful according to the managers!
