Have to agree with TWA pilot it does not make sense, this is a very competitive world and industry.
Come on Guys!
Omni is a very good charter airline, they under bid you, give it a rest.
BALPA is the same as ALPA here in the USA, just talk and collect the union dues from its members.

I for one shall be keeping a close eye on this new contract.
XL operating the route with the B747 offered a greater payload and cargo carrying capability. It made the ease of getting freight down to MPA a lot easier.
A lot of people are concerned that Omni with there equipment will not be able to carry on the same level of service that has become the norm for everyone concerned.

When did XL get G registered 747"s
Is this not Air Atlanta Icelandic?
Last I heard Iceland was not even in the EU, has something changed here.
Yet they operate full pax out of the UK with Travel city to Orlando with TF registered aircraft and some non British crews.
Get your facts straight.
Dont see Balpa doing anything here, been going on for years with Travel city and many other contracts.
Perhaps Iceland just knows where to throw the money.
It would seem that Balpa would have bigger Fish to fry here!
