I seriously think before any sort of flights going ahead..'including more GA' DTV/peel need to sort out this farce of the ATC shut downs.. its been going on now for far too long... I was picking people up from the evening Lourdes Alba star flight Friday night, when the empty outbound flight missed its slot by minutes, so pilot/crew had to wait an hour while the ATC had their shut down.. and while on the subject of this flight, the inbound flight wasn't even on the flight arrivals board.. but they had the Monarch 737 on a training flight earlier, which did a no show...
I do think if this route does come off though, Eastern is not the answer, as we have found out on previous attempts.. but at least its a step in the rite direction... Hope i'm roved wrong??
