'The 757 is only doing one SFB a week so how can it build up to a 6 hr delay ?'
Well it managed 3+ hrs delay GLA- SFB on the 15th and 4+ on the return with no one running into it, breaking a window, loosing a wing or getting lost in the toilet so 6hrs should be easy on multiple flights per week

'The 757 has flown direct to SFB without a fuel stop as passengers on here have confirmed.'
Very true. But they were on an ETOPS routing, low load or favourable winds. Go non ETOPS and you are landing.. Whether it be to refuel or to scrape it off the ground, its coming down before SFB.

'How do you know what GSM is doing regarding its ETOPS or are you just guessing ? '
Yes we are guessing. Unforunately is based on the information posted all over this and other forums as Globespan are trying to keep it very quiet... So far everyones guessing its been very accurate. More accurate than anything GSM have provided to the contrary.
'With the 767 coming back from Caracas as the contract was pulled by GSM the SFB was then changed to the 767 but then the aircraft was damaged so its back to the 757 till the 767 is repaired'
And that could be some time by all accounts as the 767 has been in Manchester since it was pranged with no repairs being made..

'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.'
And by 'near future' do you mean May per chance?
And you try telling the passengers on the upcoming flights who will be delayed 'it isnt a big problem'. Maybe not for GSM, but it sure as hell is for those passengers. You really havent been reading the posts have you?
And let me 'guess'... Summer Session... May again?
C'mon, give us some positive and accurate info and keep the company morale boosting tosh for those who will believe it.
