I had a very pleasant flight on Staurday, arriving 10 minutes earlier in Vienna than planned.
Also I had a very smooth flight today with SkyEurope too. Arrival was 15 minutes early.
Maybe is the early arrivals that cause some trouble?
I would suggest that you people fly more frequently with SkyEurope.
It is a real fun !

It was Skyeurope for sure. To your pique and fury! Millions who travel, know it, why don't you try too? You miss much you know.
If you try once, you will get addicted. Like millions who did. Don't be afraid.

Their 3 own aircraft still flying (OM-NGG/J/P - OM-NGN is on C-check) were nowhere close to LTN yesterday therefore it might have been a SkyEurope-like fantasy.

No SkyEurope 700's will be appearing in LTN for a while. Air Slovakia & Bulgarian Air will continue to operate with Sky Cabin Crew mixing with the other crew.

PeterPaul is like the guy in Monty Pythons Flying Circus who has his arms then legs cut off, but still his torso writhes around on the ground hurling abuse at the one who cut off the arms & legs.
Yes Sky may indeed survive, but it will take some "special" financial dealings for them to do so, and their survival does indeed defy conventional business logic.
You are however wasting your time pointing out (as davidjohnson6 did above ) the facts. All this results in is a fresh invective from Greece telling us what a wonderful airline they are & how we should risk our money booking with them , even if we justifiably worry whether they will be around to operate our booked flight. Of course, as far as he is concerned, we all work for their competitors and have an alternative agenda by posting here, I have been through all this bullsh@t on another thread, even though I emphasised that the last thing I wanted to see was more Boeing pilots on the market
You are wasting your time guys, PeterPaul has a magic crystal ball, and unshakeable faith that financial miracles happen.
He refuses to believe it, but I do actually hope he is right, I am just unfortunately more rational & realistic in my expectations than he appears to be.

Captplaystation,
You try to revive your "arguements" so well answered in another thread, as you said. I don't think proper to counter your personal attacks also in this topic. And repeat old answers.
I implore you, do not worry that much for the future of SkyEurope. Just live in peace, so others can live in peace also. I believe there is nothing SkyEurope did to merit such nasty feelings from you (Monty Pythons etc). No room for revenge. PLEASE go to sleep.

PeterPaul,
2 Sky Europe flights diverted into BHX today - using Air Slovakia and Bulgaria Air aircraft.
Is the cost of wet leasing in other airlines to cover your low cost schedules not something to worry about?
Sounds like there's some financial witchcraft going on at Sky Europe

It is very expensive to lease aircraft in. And that does not take account of paying the salaries of those pilots who used to fly the 737s that have been returned to their lessors. It can't be a comfortable time at Sky - and normal accounting rules as they would be applied in much of Europe must have been "adjusted".
Good luck to them, and to the benefactors who are committing their money to keep them afloat.

On the other hand, SkyEurope keeps on getting some more cash from somewhere. Everytime it's gone, some new investor appears and puts in some more. It has been like that for several years; the company never made money, let alone profit, from selling coffee or peanuts onboard.
And yet, Sky is still alive, despite all predictions.
I don't understand the details behind it, but I'm sure that no investor would do that if there were no reason behind it.

Nightfire, I'm having very similar thoughts to yours. SkyEurope keep losing money, no radical improvement in sight, load factors worsen, the business obviously limps. Not only for them, but all around getting the loans is becoming increasingly difficult, yet the airline... has the money to pay for the wet-lease, to keep flying! Amazing, isn't it? Where's the wellspring of money and the reason for that?

PeterPaul,
No nasty feelings, just amazement (AS USUAL PLEASE READ WHAT I WROTE, NOT WHAT YOU THINK I WROTE, OR HAVE DECIDED THAT I WROTE ).
On a personal note, I wish I had that level of "financial acumen/ creative accounting" available to me.
If so, believe me, I wouldn't be wasting my time here.
