New IOM -LPL fight

Cheers Buddy
Hope your source is correct. It would certainly make Euromanx get there act together. My Flight was delayed 3 hours on Sunday afternoon.

..... time keeping on their routes not one of its strong points!

[ops 69]

give them time and maybee they will get there act together the problem is not liverpool handling there is first class

IOM-EDI is rumoured to be returning, and it looks like it will be now. Euromanx were pushed off the route by Loganair, only for Loganair themselves to stop it, so by re-starting Euromanx will have the route to themselves again, I can't see Loganair coming back...

I flew IOM-BLK saturday 9th July.

Check-in was handled by EuroManx, at a EuroManx check-in desk, by EuroManx staff, and the boarding card had EuroManx all over it, and a EuroManx Flight number for some strange reason! (Ie. 3W). Even though the flight was for BNWA to Blackpool, booked through BNWA etc etc.... so I think this means EuroManx are ticket providers for BNWA ?

Also, when in the departure loungs, I saw the following EuroManx aircraft arrive/depart;
RJ70
DH8C
ATR
D328

Also a couple more were inbound. I think the crew is not too much of a problem at the moment, as I spoke to a very nice RJ70 pilot for EuroManx in the departure lounge!

RR - Seems that you missed the 'entertainment' on Sun afternoon in the IOM terminal. Perhaps someone from EMX can provide more details? Seems that due to the numerous delays on EMX flights some pax ended up sitting on the floor of the departure lounge. When a flight was eventually announced the cheering was so loud it could be heard on the ground floor of the building.
Today a colleague complained about the 2 hour ‘no explanation offered’ delay to their Tues EMX flight. It was interesting to hear that the sole cabin crew member carried out a silent demo of the safety procedures – seems that a grasp of English was not one of the requirements for the job..... Worrying.
Will EMX ever get their act together?

Well, much as I hate to say it, I too have been a victim of the EMX delays. And, what made it worse for me was, when we eventually got into our aircraft and airborne, the F/A calmly laid the blame on the lateness of the flight on her colleagues back on the IOM.

While I can understand blaming technical problems, ATC or whatever, frankly, I find blaming another part of the company, in public, a completely unprofessional attitude. Coupled with a fit of the giggles while trying to make announcements, the whole thing made me think their standards are pretty low when it comes to cabin crew.

I think that, despite the continuing problems, they are slowly getting it together, but until they develop a professional attitude they are never going to make it.

A lot of people on the ground work hard in the IOM and for a crewmember to openly criticise them is frankly something I never thought I would hear.

Anyway, it will be a while before I use them again.

apparently, quiet a few of the cabin crew are from the new EU countries. Also heard rumours of pilots and cabin crew not being paid on time - a bit worrying i would say.

Euro manx sega is coming to a close soon, after all, that huge loan they have apparently got is running out rather fast.

I dont think they have any manx pilots flying for them, majority are our EU friends. How many french, german airlines employ uk pilots? mind u i suppose with euromanx being a german airline, no wonder they have such a mix of crew.


as manx as the hills hey - my hairy arse.

>>that huge loan they have apparently got is running out rather fast<<


So, presumably the financial backers won't renew the loan?

[MOR]

You know, I was considering chucking in a CV, being an experienced 146 skipper and all that. But talk of not paying people is really putting me off. Are they really that bad...?

Sad really, as startups can be a lot of fun. It is very satisfying to contribute to the birth/adolescence of an airline. Of course it can also be a nightmare if the principals aren't up to it!

Any of you guys actually fly for them?

[manxhandler]

GMIMA: "as manx as the hills hey - my hairy arse"


I understand from a few of the 'boys' on the Island that you have indeed got a hairy arse

[euromanxdude]

re

I have always got paid on time.

[GMIMA]

rumour has it, that one of the RJ's and one dash 8 have been flown back to germany, for non payment of fees to the german aoc holder


wont be long now till trash goes bang!!!!! and all those so called highflyers at trash will come with cap in hand to manx regional -once there wings have firmly been snipped. hope they have a good redundancy package.

and as for my hairy arse manxhandler, u would only know LOL mmmmmmmmmm

[EastMids]

Fischer 733 operating in place of an RJ on EMA- and LBA- EMX flights last weekend - can't be good for the finances!

[MarkD]

I thought the AOC holder was Austrian and therefore not been German since '45?

[Germstone]

mmmm wonder what emerald will do with there 3 pax ATPs if Emanx go pop

[mmeteesside]

mmmm wonder what emerald will do with there 3 pax ATPs if Emanx go pop

[Manker]

I see that Euromanx are not accepting bookings on line, or by phone due to a 'line failure' since yesterday. As their schedules are also not available, I wonder what the problem is. I also note that their website states that flights are operated by Euromanx Airways Gmbh. Any idea when this AOC was set up?

[This is a crisis]

I know its a bit like the 'pot calling the kettle black' but a member of the Isle of Man Government has described Euromanx as an embarressment to the Island!!

If I were Emerald's management and I had received an offer too good to refuse to cease the service and lease out the aircraft...I would have done exactly what they did.......in the knowledge that the competitor was likely to fail and then I could pick up the pieces that I wanted.
Good PR as well, when you come to the rescue!
