I was looking at BAA Glasgow website and came accross this for flights to SFB from Glasgow
03-Apr - 2 - - - - - 09:00 15:25 GSM725 763 Non-Stop 11:25 hrs.
29-Mar - 2 - 4 - 6 - 09:30 13:30 GSM725 738 Non-Stop 9:00 hrs.
05-Apr
26-May - - - 4 - 6 - 09:30 13:30 GSM725 738 Non-Stop 9:00 hrs.
27-May 1 -3 4 5 6 7 09:30 13:30 GSM725 738 Non-Stop 9:00 hrs.
either it seems that BAA have got it totally wrong.not just the fact that 738 can't fly GLA - SFB non stop, or GSM are going to use the 738 more on this route

I think there'll be 6 flights in total operating the SFB flights with B738s over Winter 06. This is to cover shortage of A/C because of the Air-India Contract. Back to B763ER for S07 though.

diesel36, you are right, I don't work for GSM.
Well if I have been fed the wrong info from a friend who works in operations AT GLA, then apologises. He told me that 2 had operated, from the beginning of November. Add that to the one on Saturday - makes 3.
Don't know if that figure he quoted of 2 is including the YYZ.
Anyway not going to get into a slanging match, but a polite reply if someone gets something wrong is all that is needed. Everyone makes mistakes, even you.
Anyway enough.
I ain't slating GSM, for operating a B738 across the pond. At least they have improved flights from Scottish Airports to various destination, over the years where others haven't.
The only thing I hate about GSM, is the constant changing of times. That ain't a major problem, but trying to book a holiday/flight to work around personnel schedules is annoying.

Just got my start date with GSM (737 LPL / MAN base) anyone got any info they can share as to routes other than the Liverpool-Tenerife. These don't appear in the Summer schedule so am interested to know likely destinations.Anything likely out of MAN? Cheers.

flyglobespan: EDI-GLA-Malaga - cost efficient?!
Just got an e-mail from flyglobespan telling me my flight to Malaga is no longer EDI-Malaga and will stop off at Glasgow enroute!!
This I find unbelieveable - how on earth can it be cost efficient to take a 737 up and down when the airports are at max 60 miles apart as the crow flies?!
Surely cheaper to bus passengers along the M8?!
Is this precedented? I remember Concorde flew EDI-GLA on exhibition a few years ago but never since have I heard of such a ridiculous journey.

Edi - Gla
Jamesie
Have a look on the BAA website for either EDI or GLA arrivals & departures over next 4 or 5 days, you will find Globespan do this on a very regular basis, even more so it would seem over the last few weeks - either a sign of cost effectiveness or poor loads.
I will leave the last comment down to a few more 'professional in the know' individuals than me
