LOCO AT PIK
I just hope that this outfit will have a bit more success than they did this summer when using Electra Airlines - Greek charter with two DC10s [ELD 502/503] operating between Manchester and Malaga.
I had the misfortune to be returning with my family from Malaga when the ac was impounded for a few hours for alleged non- payment of fees in Spain. Add to that, when we eventually arrived back in MAN some 5+ hours late [2230L], it is impounded [alleged] again. I don't know who should have paid what, but it is of little interest when you are at the receiving end.
I don't think this was the first time the crew, for whom I have a great deal of sympathy, had had this experience.
Low cost is not always a panacea.
