Parked Aircraft

RED WINGS

There are plenty of people with far more detailed knowledge but it is basically lack of crews and although the Bacon saga did not help, some
(or a lot) would say that it all started well before November 2006.

The Terms & Endearment threads about the take-over offered virtually every angle possible but whatever the real reason(s) it has been one
incredible mess and employees & pax continue to suffer on a daily basis.

G-JECV has been delivered to BHX today to add to the "spare" aircraft pile.

I have no idea how many passengers they have alienated over the last 6 weeks but at the moment loads at BHX are holding up even after Easter.

However I would imagine that there is only so much goodwill. As mentioned in my previous post they seem to have kept the BHX cancellations to a minimum which is good news for the pax if not the crew.
