BA citiexpress 767 MAN - JFK temp stop
Can anyone confirm whether the 767 is not being used on this route for the summer. I have heard a rumour down at LGW that we are operating the route on 777 for the summer months. . .

According to their website, BA CitiExpress do indeed have at least one Boeing 767 that they use between MAN and JFK: www.britishairways.com/travel/basubsid/public/en_

I fear GoEdi has been understandably confused by BA's 'juggling' of who does what (and how and to whom etc etc etc
)
As I understand it, the route is operated by CitiExpress but is flown by a BA Mainline a/c and flight deck.
Confused? Me too! Now, about the cabin crew...................
Maybe a SCOPE clause DOES make a bit more sense?? Of course, the CitiExpress pilots have FULL access to bid for the 767 flying, don't they..........................
BALPA strikes again. (Can I use that word?)

I thought Citiexpress use their own Bae 146s and ERJs. Does the money not go to the same place?

Ask the company accountants. I don't think anyone else can work it out.
I suspect we'll be hearing from some CE folks soon..............

I did say above:
If you want some of the facts:-
BA 1503 (NB Flight number the same format (4 numbers 1---) as BA shorthaul flight numbers, not the same as BA longhaul ex LHR, 3 numbers)
Flight shown as 767 up to September
BA Timetable shows 'operated by British Airways'
BACE web site shows
"British Airways CitiExpress Ltd is a wholly owned subsidiary of British Airways which operates within the UK and Europe, from a number of UK regional airports.
We offer convenient services from 26 airports in the UK and Ireland on 91 routes to major or central regional airports.
For example from:
Manchester to 30 destinations in the UK and Europe with one to New York (JFK) "
_______________
Flight is, as I said, operated by BA a/c and flight deck (don't know about c/crew), and is different to 'mainline' BA JFK in having no First Class. How they can claim JFK to be "within the UK and Europe" I do not understand. Maybe BA are themselves a bit confused too?

"Our fleet
We utilise smaller aircraft best suited to regional flying within the UK and Europe. The fleet consists of the following aircraft types.
Boeing 767
Operates between Manchester and New York."
See? Everyone is right! At the end of that well-known day it doesn't really matter. Just lots of confusion!!
TIC!
I hope that clears it up.
