Wee Jock McPlop,
Thank you for your moronic response. FYI I have actually posted this elsewhere in Airlines Airports and Routes, but the mod has moved it into this thread.
Besides, you may be a controller stuck in the same place all your career, where's pilots get to see and talk to a lot more ATC people than you could ever imagine, often 4 in one day! Therefore we get the bigger picture and when we come accross some "ingrown" and very "local" procedure we look at each other with some puzzlement!
Your acrimonious response indicates an exteremely defensive streak, but for what reason? If you know the answer then give it.
Remember though, you are not in charge of what people may or may not say or ask on these pages. I suggest if you feel THAT upset by the question then you get some therapy! Love Stelios
Bagheera,
Thanks for your much more coherent answer. I don't particularly wish to have long discussions on this one subject, so I won't be going to other forums for this.
I can't see what the problem is in saying "you are cleared all the way to xyz holding point" and do away with it like that, but what the hell, life's too short!

Stelios,
With the greatest respect, I've been a controller for some time now, had experience all over the world and am relatively new to Edi. I've prided myself on a close liaison with pilots (of all persuasions) all of my working career and you are the first to insult me in such a way
- says more about you than me I think. As for being acrimonious - you are having a laugh aren't you?
Bagheera has indeed answered your question. The fact remains that you could have got the answer by coming across and speaking to us - a 2 minute walk from the terminal at the last check. A number of your fellow pilots have made that arduous journey and both professions got something from it.
Kind regards,
WJMcP
P.S. The offer still stands you know.

GSM will not like that....Dont think theres enough demand for 2 operators on that route. GSM have habit of bumping off mainline carriers like CSA- Clickair might be different however...interesting times ahead.

Click Air's major advantage over GSM will be in attracting Spanish passengers. I believe there is quite a bit of tourist demand from Spain to EDI, at least in summer

Looks like they have put the launch date back to 10 september. I would have thought they would want to get this route going intime for the summer.

Don't know where the 13 July came from, it has always been September 10 on the Easy website

Unfortunately DL's loss making ED-ATL service is to be scrapped. Instead they will try and steal some business from CO on the NYC route by offering a daily service to JFK. The aircraft has also been downgraded to a 757, commencing perhaps as early as the end of this summer season.

Downgraded in aircraft size, but not necessarily in product. DL's new TATL 757s will have a complete cabin refit and personal seatback IFE in all classes - enough to give CO a good fight.
Loads on EDI-ATL too hit-and-miss. 75 per cent average in peak, lucky to clear 60 at other times. Not good compared to CO's 92 per cent year-round average.

LS carried 3167 passengers on the route in April, at 4 times weekly on a 148 seater 733.
Therefore, there was an average of 88 passengers per flight.
By looking at this, I am going to predict EZY!
