I am bored with EasyJet now!!!!

Other news:

First BMI to Antigua yesterday had 200+ load, that's pretty good for the first day, but I wonder how many business class seats were occupied?!


Las Vegas doing really well too! Average load 86pc, not bad either!

Maybe a new aircraft for us on its way...? With a new Asian route for next uear, too?? Hope so!


Who is going to handle Jet2 from this week? Did Globe get it?

Bet we'll see Barbados continue year round.....aren;t VS codesharing soon on these Carib routes with BD?

If BD did a LAX route it would do very well I think!

More Jet2 ?

Rumour is that there are more JET2 routes to be announced for Summer05 and they'll need more based a/c to cover the programme !

nah, vs not codesharing, yet , maybe we'll see the launch of a LAX route next year, fingers crossed. The caribbean and Vegas are year round already. More advertising and they would be packed to capacity everyday by those not wanting to go to LHR, but, that's another thread!

jet2 MANCHESTER in huge letters down the a/c (G-CELI)

another is due soon, and both begin services tomorrow...

Did "LI" get the hose treatment...??

Hi
I have heard that United are thinking about applying for SFO-MAN slots and Virgin want to start to Hong Kong and Los Angeles.

Umm..Delta would probably serve JFK with a 767. It actually sounds quite plausible.

What are your sources on the United/Virgin rumour? I'd give the United a 15% prob and the Virgin 10%!!!

Hi
My uncle who is a pilot for bmi has been talking to pilots of both airlines whilst in LHR.
I dont think they are true myself but we will have to wait and see.
Thanks
Michael

I was the F/O that brought LI into MAN, we didn't get a hose down, but we did have some publicity photo's done in front of T2. LH followed us in a little later, I was told that this one got a free shower but I'd scarpered off home by then.

I don't think any more routes are planned from MAN for 05, the LGW and ALC were the last two that they said they were keeping under wraps, but we're usually the last to know any of the commercial goings on.

Gayrugbybloke / Rampman,

The front-of-house/dispatch for Jet2 is done by Manchester Handling, and ramp by Menzies.

Manchester Handling will also be handling Air Scandic, with RHSL doing their ramp.
