Five a/c parked up doing nowt at LGW???
NOT on my AIMS screen !! I wish we did !!
I am beginning to wonder if the AIMS screen is the problem. It's got so many aircraft on it that the spares have fallen off the bottom! There were definitely aircraft out of use - crew member mentioned it and there were several (I didn't count, but certainly perhaps four or five) parked up in the tower stands when we landed with no signs of life, and this was approx 19:00 hrs.
The wet-leasing has obviously mitigated the effects of some of the problems on passenger service delivery, but they still have a long way to go to reach an acceptable standard. Only 50% of flights on time at Gatwick is pretty poor really.
