Looks as if it's currently being used for crew training (i.e. circuits) at DSA.

FLyglobespan to reduce their flights to Amsterdam, intead of Daily operation the flights now only operate Monday, Thursday, Friday, Sunday. From around the 26th June. Do you think their are too many operators from west coast to AMS now? KLM,GSM and Transavia from Prestwick?

GSM 737/767 Crews

Any guys on here work for GSM on the 737 and 767?
Was just wondering, when you did your initial training course did you do life rafts in the swimming pool? If not, are you guys having to go back and do them again now?
Was just curious
Thanks

Hi Cabot,

When did they receive permission, do you know? Only a Captain I spoke to yesterday said they still don't have it....

Secondly, has it flown anywhere yet? Looks good on the remote stand, but would be better to see it flying in and out..

I know Flyglobespan are selling the Sanford flights, but ive been keeping an eye on the Orlando Sanford Airport website, but there is still no mention on there of them starting flights, have they got there slots in Sanford yet.

If you go here http://www.orlandosanfordairport.com/destinations.asp and scroll down to Europe scheduled, Glasgow is the first on the list although it doesn't state GSM, if you scroll further down Europe Charter has the usual carriers.

I take it this Glagow scheduled flight refers to GSM as I cant think of anyone else.

Just looked at the Sanford website and it seems just about every British Airport is there except Edinburgh!! OK, I'm exagerating but it's really embrassing for the capital of Scotland to be missing from there when you can fly direct from Doncaster!!!!????
Come on BAA, get your finger out!!

Seems EDI is good enough for GSM's Tango 767 Cat III landings, but not good enough for direct services to SFB.
(Approach pic taken at EDI today)

Why are BAA not pushing long haul leisure services from EDI?
Lack of facilities/infrastructure they should have provided or what?

Its all about supply and demand. Do you really think airlines would be avoiding the route if they thought there would be money to be made......

An independent airport operator at EDI would not have Florida pax passing it's front door, they would compete.

Any so called competition at BAA's Scottish Airports is nothing more than a charade.

Listen up peoples!

This thread is descending into the realms of seriously boring rubbish. Irrelevant stuff that is of no interest to the majority who want real news.

What is worse is that some of you are using the thread to 'chat' about each others posts. If you want to do that use the phone! NOT PPRuNe.

So, post sensible posts or they will be deleted. If that doesn't work I will kill the thread. I have already deleted several silly nonsense posts.

Get it back on track.
