Ahh someone got there before me

Coming through there tonight the poor thing was still by the side of the runway. Atis said something about a tail strike too?

Glad the crew are ok

[I'm not joking sir]

Atis said something about a tail strike too?

The ATIS message was about the tail being inside the instrument strip.

[FunFlyin]

Oh that clears it all up

It broke up at the end
(the atis not the tail)

Interesting goings on

So, aloon has deleted a post or two, perhaps for good reason! But what really is happening with the handling at CWL?? I maybe new here, but I get the goings on....

I see it in work , day in day out....They seem pretty disorganised at what they do... No one seems to care anymore...... So what the hell is going on??? aloon... any suggestions????

[Aloon]

Well, I'm glad you've seen it... I have to be careful here from now on, as managers have cottened on!! A kick in the teeth is better than nothing.....Good I say........ Be it online or not, I'm glad thay've got something to read to give them an idea..... I know a printout is circulating.... So the post is no longer required...

Hope to see a few changes here now, before a post is required in the area mangers thread.....

Loving the weather! TShirts all round today I think

The Skyservice Engineers looking after the Canadian registered First Choice A320 didn't look too happy in Tesco this morning , it seems that the lovely new engine they worked their asses off to fit (after ingesting a birdie on landing last weekend), wasn't actually so lovely afterall, rumour has it that the engine they got sent had been sat for 40days outside without being preserved!, so, they have been politely asked to remove it and fit another one instead, would have loved to have been a fly on the wall when they took that call!

CWL Aircraft

Its been a very 'interesting' week for First Choice. Delays still ongoing it appears.
With an aircraft still sat on echo with its engine on the floor next to it. Lets just hope its not too visable from the passenger car park!
Also for MyTravel, GBYTH still stuck in Dalaman, so far 4 different aircraft been operating flights for MYT, appears GSUEW is in for the duration now though.
Excel tech delay in SSH, and their replacement aircraft going tech for an hour just before it should have done it first flight!
All this on one day!
Roll on summer high season!

What exactly happened to BYTH then mate? I'm not in work to find out now until Friday night, heard something about a fence, which doesn't sound good, suprised I havent seen anything on here about it?

[caaardiff]

I'm not too sure. All i heard was it was 'Very Tech' and SUEW may be around for a while. BYTH has never had a good track record anyway. It went tech before its positioning flight to CWL to start the season!!

Edit:
This just posted on another site...

Sounds nasty!
The plane definately didnt fly to CWL though. They positioned one of their 763's out their to bring the pax back 24hrs later

With BYTH meaning Never in Welsh, maybe there is some irony there

Welsh airlink?

On the news that a new terminal is(might) to be built in North Wales!This will form part of the inter-Welsh airlink.Does anyone know who would operate this route?I know this has been covered before but it still seems to pop up regular!!!

P.s Not trying to sound to cheeky i`m due to finish my commercial training next year,so any pm`s on contacts relating to this would be much appreciated!

Can anyone explain to me what the connection is between North Wales and South Wales?
Communications are and always have been awful. They share a name (Wales), but apart from bureaucrats, I can't see who the passengers would be...
