IFc84 - The a minor point but I have to correct the rubbish you are spouting. The Directors of Flight Support and EMX are not the same. You keep saying you know the facts, I suspect you are a disgruntled ex-employee that has been removed as part of the ongoing improvements in the operation.
On the subject of AA, they have moved into the Island because they lost a Gov subsidy in Ireland on a number of their routes, FR will be blowing them off the DUB - ORK route from early Nov, if anyone is betting the family silver on them, good luck !

About AOC- what is the problem with them getting a UK- JAA ( JAA to please you)? OK if they are operating in austria thats fine BUT their NOT! They are cutting corners
MOR
You are not listening, all what I have said is TRUE so register it! de-icing FACT, ATC- FACT, just find an iom controller, they will tell you.The approach in 400m vis is RUMOR.
I have no axe to grind with Euromanx, I'm sick of reading and listening to the utter rubbish that is given to the manx media, when over half of it is untrue!

AOC: despite what you might think, all signatories to JAA operate to substantially the same rules.
Now the IoM is NOT part of the United Kingdom, although it is part of the Commonwealth. It is therefore free to adopt whatever regulatory framework it wants when it comes to aviation. The IoM government chooses to accept the Austrian AOC, as is their prerogative. It has absolutely nothing to do with "cutting corners". Please explain to us all exactly what corners are being cut?
Sez you. Why should I believe you? Who the hell are you anyway? For all I know, you could be a ten-year-old with an aeroplane fetish.
If you want to establish these "facts", you need a little more than "because I said so".
I believe an IoM controller posts here, maybe he or she can verify your claim (or not).
For now, I choose not to believe you. You are way too strident to be credible.

De-Icing
Sorry guys, I stumbled on the de-icing post, but not too sure what you meant. Can you just clarify what you meant?
Apologies if I say here something completely un-correllated with what you were on about...lol.
But, yes, EMX do de-ice their aircraft, if needed.

No comments here other than to say it is allowable under certain circumstances to make an approach in 400m visibility.
If RVR is not reported the visibilities which are passed will be met visibilities. These are factored by 1.5 by day and 2.0 by night to give an equivalent RVR. 400m met vis becomes 800m RVR at night. Min RVR required on 26 is 700m, so no problems here.
The reporting of RVRs ceased on the IOM when the firefighters were prevented from undertaking the task - the H&S didn't like the fact that they were standing atop of their engines to obtain the measurements. RVR reporting may have been reinstated since, but this was certainly the method of determining equivalent RVRs a few months ago.

Two questions for sidestickhumper.When you say that Austria has 'implemented JAR OPS' do you mean that Austrocontrol is now fully compliant with and accepted by JAA as being in compliance with JAR OPS1? And regarding JAR FCL.According to the AustroControl 2004 annual report they say that they regard becoming JAR FCL compliant as a priority and a JAA audit is scheduled for Q3 2005.Doesn't sound like they are far from <beeing JAR conform?>

Much as I hate to prolong the life of this thread (in fear we will end up with another mammoth EMX log), but perhaps someone in the airline would pay an O-level student at Douglas Comp a few quid to update their website, as it appears they have had no one capable of doing so in the company for quite some time. Apart from an obsolete (and never delivered) routemap, the fact that they are still announcing new services from Galway to London City and Paris (direct from Galway) is, apart from being five months old, an embarassment as the former no longer applies and the latter never happened anyway (they went via IOM).
Anything to get rid of that bl@@dy picture of Bryan (sorry Brian) McFadden sandwiched between two EuroBabes on the Galway press release. In fact, on second thoughts, just airbrush him and the other James Bond try-to-lookalikes and leave the gals

"I also heard that an ex-BA guy was set to become the RJ fleet manager, if that is true, no doubt standards will rise."
I can confirm he has taken up his position. Capt W. Flew with him to LCY a few weeks back. Really nice chap and should bring something positive to this good niche airline.

Can anyone confirm whether RJ EICPK has operated a service recently? No sign of it on IOM, and rumour is rife that it has been fairly static at GWY for quite a while..........

EI-CPK was operating the IOM-CDG this lunchtime. And one of the Dorniers was operating a route too (dunno to where).
The Air Atlantique crews will depart IOM at the end of this month, so I hear. This will leave 3W with just their own aircraft. Should be interesting times ahead.

What's happening at Euromanx
What the hell is happening at Euromanx, closing down bases, pulling the RJ off London City and putting turbo prop on it. More pilots leaving the Island due lack of confidence in the company. AND the CEO Mr Seymour chucking it in just a few weeks ago. Will they be with us for much longer?
