I want AWW to stay on for a while longer. If they can sort themselves out then they would be sucessful.
I hope RT does not sign the deal to be honest
Eastern would chrge very high fares

i think there is more chance of there being more than 1 passenger on the BRU flights then that happening.im afraid people like stone cold and myself who have been through the 6G experience know that it takes a kamikaze way of thinking for it to continue...a bit of an aviation form of S&M.
Folks, do not jump to conclusions!
The CAA visit was a planned audit and why would Eastern want Air Wales anyway? They already have a successful route network and an A schedule AOC. I can't see that they would gain anything here.
Hey, No Speed, hear you are having drinks with Uncle Bob and Mr Cold. Do give them my regards and I hope the sim is going well?

Why would Eastern want Air Wales. Well quite simply, they have a huge asset, the flight deck crew. Eastern might need all the pilots they can find, to substitute for all those leaving to find work at the Lo-co's?
I heard they wanted the ATR for NCL-LCY but is unlikely to happen.
The CAA have been paying plenty of visits to Air Wales as of late and I've heard from the horses mouth why they are coming again this week, I'm not going to say what it is but I hope it will turn out to be good news but have my doubts, we should all know by the end of the month the fate of the airline.
I would advise to all my friends and former collegues get out now while the market is good, do not waste time waiting to see if this ticking time bomb will go off or not.

Hmmm, Stone Cold II, interesting you should say that. I've heard the same rumour (although it was prefixed with: "Apparently they're having trouble finding an additional Saab 2000 so...") Mind you, the speculation was merely that they were looking at the ATR in general, rather than those of Air Wales specifically.
Mind you this is the same guy that once told me that the recurring rumours regarding Eastern getting 146's might actually come to something.
Possibly bunkum but interesting nonetheless.

Latest is that RT will not sign the deal with Eastern.
CAA visit on Tuesday!
It looks very likely that the CAA will end this Dragon's misery and put it to sleep
Having worked for Air Wales I truly believe that if we hadn't had the misfortune of employing
AT as our commander in chief then this Dragon would still be flying high!
Better now get myself a good lawyer

Air Wales best bet for survial I think is for them to go down to 2 aircraft and concentrate on a small number of routes maybe 3 and get rid of Bmibaby stuff because that has been a total loss for Air Wales from the start and basically start again don't try and do to much and run a few routes and make every effort to run them ontime and build up a good name.
With all the routes they have run they have streched themselves to far with constant aircraft tech problems and no back up plan, very few Air Wales flights have been on time this year and they did have a bad spell last month with constant delays of 4 to 7 hours due to aircraft tech all the time. Mrs Stone Cold gets a hard time from the pax who are fed up with Air Wales being delayed all the time and a lot of them are now choosing to fly elsewhere.
Since Air Wales has started people have always tried to predict the demise of the company and it has always continued but a company can only continue for so long loosing the money it has been and unless drastic action happens soon all the rumours and predictions may soon come to a harsh reality.
I hope and pray that Air Wales does continue and rises from the dark cloud which it and it's staff are under
Still the best company I'll ever work for.
3REDS your taking a chance mentioning that person's name you know how he likes to threaten everybody!!

If AT has a problem with my post then let him come forward!
I stand by what I say and it is only my personal opinion of course
His results when in charge of the airline speak volumes and support my opinion.

and what else adds to the cluster fu£k experience that is 6g is that if you go onto the website (the travel shop owned by air wales), it doesnt even recognise air wales as an airline from the many one can choose to book from.one of the small pieces that adds to the big mofo puzzle.

Apparently the reason why the Eastern deal didn't happen was they they could not promise Roy to keep all the staff on, so he is talking to other people now don't who they are, at least he is trying to save his staff.
Meeting with the CAA tomorrow over at Werstern they are not expecting them to pull the AOC if they like what they hear.

Belfast City has gone and Manchester have also gone from the booking system, and the map of where they fly to needs updating. If you delete Aberdeen from the booking system remember to move it from your map of all the destinations you fly to.
No speed, yeah it's good thanks. Up to my ears in FMGS ADC thingys at the moment but Mr Stone Cold has been keeping me upto date with all the gen!
Pretty sure it has been a sound move with all the stuff going on at the moment.
