There's lots of recruiting taking place at the moment so the news can't be as bad as you fear Ghengis !

Maybe a merge with mainline is on the cards ? One can live in hope

Three year renewal on the Dash8s and their APUs are to be reactivated.

Are BACX buying the Swiss options on the EMB170/195?

Just heard on our local TV news, BBC North West, that Blackpool Airport is about to announce the arrival of a major UK airline which is to open a new hub at the airport..........the plot thickens.........

JET2 are setting up at BLK with a single 733, to start flights to belfast, palma and murcia. One thinks they should have concentrated on increasing there base destinations, never the less it good news for Blackpool, now theyve got JET2 and Monarch all within a few months, great news
