Diesel 36,

Take it you havent been one of the affected pax who have had...

flight times changed, a/c changed, seating changed, flight cancelled, no notice of change, advised of change at check in when the change was made weeks previous, so on a so forth.

Great news that they've had one delay in however many trips.

You mentioned the flight will return on time tomorrow. Can you explain where they hide their time machine?. As I type, the 767 on todays flight hasn't landed in BFS yet which should have left for GLA 6 hours ago.. It still has to get to GLA to pick up the pax from todays flight, turn round and fly to SFB today which will be 5-6 hours late at least(according to GS this morning) more like 7-8 hours. Then depart SFB (late) and get back to GLA before a repos flight tomorow.

Latest sched from Sanford is the GSM726 flight tonight, to arrive in GLA tomorrow has been delayed with no new departure time posted

Unless GS are schedulling another a/c to be in SFB to leave on time tonight how can they shave off 8 hours on a 2 hopper to have the a/c in GLA on sched tomorrow morning??. If they do have a replacement, why isn't it in GLA now taking the pax to SFB?. And what is the the next hop for the 76 that's going to be late in tomorrow?.

Re the 75's. Are these coming from a recently defunct Canadian outfit, more from Iceland or another source?. If you know where and what they are, please tell.... Lots of people waiting for that info including a few who 'Know' and dont know anything about these a/c

If they have a replacement, let us know what it is please.. The world awaits.

Oh, and one more thing as you appear to know whats going on. whats the news on the Neos 767's. Are they coming, when and what refit is sched?


edit 20:46 April 12th. GSM 725 left at 20:11 pm due to arrive SFB 11:30pm (local) only 9.5 hours behind sched. GSM 726 Sched to depart at 1AM, (local) 5.5 hours behind sched. 5 hour time diff so GLA time at departure will be 6AM. Its supposed to be in GLA at 08:30 so SFB to GLA in 2.5 hours in a 767..... Last I checked, 767's hadnt been fitted with solid rocket boosters and wern't thermally or aerodynamically suited to supersonic flight...

Edit 09:08 April 13th. Hey Diesel36, what happened to the on time arrival this morning you mentioned. ETA 15:10 today instead of 08:30. Thats 7hrs 40 mins late to me and anyone else who can tell the time.
