So when do the E145's start to arrive??

[Cloud Chaser]

They have a few 135's, where did you hear they were getting 145's?

I have just booked a flight with T3 to fly NCL-CWL. The flight is showing to be operated by a Dornier 328. After a bit more research I found that according to T3's website the D328 aircraft is operating the following flights.

Monday-Friday

T34641 NCL 06:45 CWL 07:50
T34032 CWL 08:15 NCL a 09:20 NCL d 09:45 ABZ 10:40
T34035 ABZ 11:05 NCL 12:00
T34036 NCL 14:15 ABZ 15:00
T34095 ABZ 16:05 NCL a 17:00 NCL d 17:25 CWL 18:40
T34648 CWL 19:10 NCL 20:25

SUNDAY

T34095 ABZ 16:25 NCL a 17:10 NCL d 17:35 CWL 18:40

The return flight from CWL is showing as operated by a S2000.

Are Eastern short of aircraft at the moment?. Is the D328 leased from Scotairways? and how long is the aircraft operating on behalf of T3?

Thanks in advance for any info

[Wellington Bomber]

Eastern have gone into meltdown mode again, the lunatics are running the asylum

[virginblue]

Care to elaborate?

[tonto68]

Humberside Airport

Anybody else heard the rumour about Richard Lake making a substantial bid for HUY?

[JSCL]

Bit of a step up from Eastern Airways IMO.

[BristowXJ]

tonto68, I'd eat my hat if that happened! Can't see it happening in a million after recent Weston Aviation Development.

[mmeteesside]

Anyone elaborate on whether the Dash 8's are supposed to be used on the network on a Sunday or if they are short of Saabs? From what I can gather today the Aberdeen-DTV-Southampton was worked by G-WOWC which then positioned back to DTV (to do what? SOU in the morning? I note that now departs 15 mins later and has 10 mins knocked off the trip time?!) and then G-WOWB ran the Aberdeen-Leeds-Bristol then Southampton-DTV-Aberdeen ... talk about a mess, why not just use the 1 Dash 8 on ABZ-DTV-SOU-DTV-ABZ?

[j41cac]

Is there any truth that Mr Lake came to IOM about the City route? Or the Ginger travelled to him? Can someone elaborate?

[Cloud Chaser]

Anyone know the meaning of the "Victory Club" sticker on one of the Embraers?

[adverse-bump]

IOM London city?

Nice route for the dashes, does that mean we have a job next month?

[JSCL]

I don't think iom to LCY would be a strong route.i think they'd stubble to accomplish a decent yield on it.

[CaptainSox]

Dickie Lake = Disgusting behavior if they try that

Tell him to take a running jump, and go get a job in the city, 9 to 5, time with family, good pay and be treated the way you deserve. I have not tried it yet but could be on the cards if this flying rubbish continues for much longer.

ASW AOC tx failed again today. Tng due to commence tomorrow with OPC using EF procedures therefore now cx along with Sim slots, Flights, Hotac, Hire cars etc. Why did tx fail again? Does anybody know the reason?

[s_insania]

Am I right in thinking there are currently two Jetstreams based in France to do the Dijon-Bordeaux/Nantes/Toulouse? Looking at the times for the new Dijon-Southampton it looks like it calls for a 3rd aircraft to be based down there at least on the Monday and Friday? Any ideas?

[s_insania]

There's only ever been two aircraft based at MME, the Dash is currently covering for a Jetstream for 5/6 weeks on the Southampton unless they need it elsewhere
