On the crew side of things Danny let me know this morning that VS would be helping out.

I've just been talking to the skipper of one crew who've made it down from their layover in Canada and are patiently waiting in Terminal 7, JFK for sub load seats to get them back to the UK.

However VS are overbooked for the next 2 nights and there's presently some cunning ticket revalidation going on.

If that pans out and tickets are endorsed it's BA who are actually getting the Ottawa crew home after a 10 hour drive south. Hopes too that it's also going to be BA that get the Vancouver crew home.

The inbound crew to Ottowa got stuck in Halifax and I've presently no news on those in San Diego. There are suggestions that the Miami layover group are trying to make their way to Sanford where the UK charter companies congregate and I have heard a suggestion that the sub leased Finnish aircraft left their girls in New York.

I'll update if I get any better or more accurate information.

Regards
Rob
