The problem isnt with them flying the 757 accross the pond, it the fact they are doing nothing to reinstate ETOPS on the route when using it.
They know its going to take longer and are hiding behind it stating its only adding 1-1.5 hours or so to the flight. That maybe true but they are omitting adding that as from next week, the flights start to go back to back with short turns so the 1.5 hour turn they have scheduled has just vanished on the longer route.
Next flight out leaves late, arrives late and the delays accumulate. If it was a one off and there was no evidence to show it wasn't going to be regular then there wouldnt be a problem. Fact is it is obvious, there is evidence and even on just a single flight a week with an overnight turn it is regular.
Despite being asked directly GSM dont tell anyone anything, they wont admit there will be delays so the passengers cant make alternative arrangements to cover. THAT IS WHAT THE POSTS ARE ABOUT.... If everyone would read the posts (that have information and not whiners and moaners) and actually absorb the information being written they would see that..
GSM can make it all go away simply by changing the schedules NOW so passengers can make proper arrangements and not have to wait until checkin to have it confirmed. They havent, and as it stands their sched is about as believable as the stories of them getting ETOPS back 'in the near future'.
Dont like the posts... Fine, but simply adding to the trash when people are trying to get info from a forum that just might be able to help isnt doing them or you any good.
