It isnt a big problem? Non etops with the 757 is causing a delay of at least an hour on each trip which by Saturday flights means its almost a 6 hour delay if not more? It is also physically impossible to be on time to the schedule on the website and of course it will not be updated and you will continue to take bookings knowing this.

Why woud GS bother with etops if they were looking to lease out the route again as they have done the last few years?

You say there might be a fuel stop, is that why GS built an extra hour into the flight time of all flights and now without etops they can't even get within that? infact over an hour on top of that on each flight! Its physically IMPOSSIBLE to make it without a fuel stop!!!

There was a timetable put up that was taken down from this and this was very close and factored in massive delays as each weekend came.

I'm glad massive delays isn't a problem to you.




FIFFIO how do you know what GSM is doing regarding there etops ?

This will be restored in the near future but to be honest it isn't a big problem right now as there is only one flight per week that would use etops. It will be in place before the summer session starts though.
