The STOL port that LCY is is fine for the A318 to take off but not with a full fuel compliment therefore westbound it will stop to refuel at SNN.
On the BA website Mark Hassell said he is unsure which crew will operate it so far.
My guess is either LCY or SFG crew as they are both cheap, also SFG crew are already type rated in the A320 series - dunno if that will make any difference though.
It'd be nice for Cityflyer guys to get it but then just selfishly I'd love us Gatters lot to get a NYC flight. Do A318 have an OHAR
(just kiddign by the way)
