It is even checked in and dispatched by Mainline.
All aircraft from T3 are checked in , dispatched and pushed back by BA mainline staff except AA .CX are engineered by CX ,the shuttles ,Gatwicks and JFK by BA engineers.
All BA groundstaff at Manchester are maineline not CX.

Boys and girls. Calm Down ! The bean counters bottom line is what is best for BA and then BACX. Taking into account what is / has taken place elsewhere on the network it can only be a matter of time before all of the 'gha' functions are passed to a third party. This will be neither mainline or BACX, because in the effort to delay union confrontation at LHR / LGW and effect greater flexibilty and practice and safe money it is only the regions of the UK that are left to cut. I wish I am proved wrong.
Having spent time training mainline staff early this year at MAN I was dissapointed at the mainline attitude to our BACX colleagues. Seems the best idea of all is to transfer all 64,000 of us to BACX contracts, the company would be in profit overnight.

Hey.
Am looking to fly to Newark in New Year with CO and I noticed on their seat planner this was pretty full. So i played around and the plane seems nearly full on most dates!!
Is this CO making it look better than it really is or is the demand really that great?
That said, MAN must be due a second CO service, and that Delta rumour seems really likely!

MAN-EWR in January is showing as on 767-400 equipment, so it's being downgraded/has been downgraded from the 777.
Something else I note on Amadeus is that the MAN-JFK flight is down as a BA 763 and the AA codeshare is down as a 762.
Oh and all Aer Lingus DUB flights will be operated by A320s

I AM SORRY TO DISAPOINT ALL THE READERS HERE, BUT I HAVE SEEN THE PAPERWORK WHICH CLEARLY STATED THAT THE 767 WAS A BACX AIRCRAFT. YOU CAN LIVE IN YOUR DREAMWORLD IF YOU WANT BUT THE REAL WORLD WILL NOT GO AWAY.

Press release from GB Airways
MORE GOOD NEWS FOR MANCHESTER
British Airways franchise carrier, GB Airways is to launch another new route from Manchester and lay on extra flights to Malaga.
In September the airline unveiled plans to open a new base at Manchester Airport operating flights to Spain and the Canary Islands, Madeira, Cyprus and Malta.
Just two months later, with excellent forward bookings, GB Airways has strengthened its commitment to Manchester by adding Dubrovnik in Croatia to the schedule, with three weekly flights from Manchester from May next year.
Due to customer demand the launch of the new service to Malaga has been brought forward from May to March 18 2005, with daily flights and a double daily service on Saturdays.
Additional flights to Tenerife in the Canary Islands, Paphos in Cyprus and Malta will launch on May 16 and the new Funchal, Madeira service will be postponed until the winter 2005 schedule.
All the new services will be operated by Airbus A320 aircraft offering British Airways Club Europe and EuroTraveller cabins.

I am sorry to disappoint you but you have seen nothing of the sort, you just think you have. The 767 is a BA owned aircraft, there is likely a little plaque somewhere round the flight deck saying the aircraft is leased to BA by XYZ bank of Japan and the aircraft appears in the BA 767 manuals. At no point has the aircraft been sold to BACX, nor do the LHR 767s which occasionally replace WH when it's tech belong to BACX.

Children! Could we please forget about one insignificant clapped out Boeing and return to the topic, something which will probably have far more impact on many CX employees?
The writing has been on the wall ion dayglo paint that yet another 'review' was up and coming. Perhaps they are going to spare us the bad news until after Xmas which, I agree, would go against past form.
If this company contracts at its current rate then I foresee nothing left by this time next year for our beloved mangement to worry about.

The simple answer to your question is nothing!
Me thinks that this has been a hoax based around the fact that The Aviation Society (TAS) has a meeting this evening at which - as happens twice a year - there will be a presentation by the Airport Team on Manchester Airport's future development plans and the official release of 'non-sensitive' Summer 2005 route announcements.
Hopefully this helps?!

'At a guess, Bristol will shrink or even close.'
Sorry Bat.man where did you hear that c##p. I believe Bacx are expanding by bringing a 5 based aircraft to BRS. Plus them being the only BACX station to be continuesley in profit!!!

Meeting in MAN is nothing but the quarterly management forum.......nothing special......should be weekly to be honest.
As far as the rest of the drivel written above....
BRS will not close as it makes money....and we need it!. The 767 is on BA Mainline's AOC...the only thing 'Citiexpress' about it are some of the cabin crew.
Lots of Luv

This Charming Man, Vuelo, GayRugbyBloke, et al
So far all your staements have proved to be worthless. No seats on sale, for EZY ex MAN, no major announcements, no need to smile for the cameras etc.
Lets all cut the bulls*it and concentrate on FACTS not your wishfull thinking.
Personally I don't care where or when an airline bases aircraft as long as it it is the North West so lets all hope together that it happens and not try to score points over MAN v LPL

ck7407,
They are talking about 2005 slots, they wont come to Fruition till....yep you guessed it TWO THOUSAND AND FIVE.
You might want to get yourself some Tomato Ketchup to help you digest your words in the near future.
Just keep watching.
If only you knew.......

why the big competition....
EZY at MAN is not the only announcement that people are waiting for...
services to China & Asia, West US etc etc....
the world does not revolve around LPL fear of losing EZY to MAN
Please stop hijacking the MAN thread and let the MAN / LPL thing rest.
Good luck to both
...prefer Air China to RYR tho ;-)

Suggest you read other peoples posts and then mine carefully!!!
I am not the one who has stated as fact that things would happen today, others have (so who is plonker there)
As I said in my post I don't care what happens as long as it benefits the North West region.
Maybe things will happen in 2005 (if so great as long as we all , ie the region, benefit) maybe not.
Before you start slagging me off I am not the one who said things would happen, or be announced today. Nor did I ever intimate that an airline might be pulling some sort of publicity stunt.
Given the above why would I need the Tomato Kethup ???
