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.

Globespan is spending about £6000 a month on taxi fares getting crew back and forth from EDI and GLA.
Just on another note the new seat pitch on the 600's is ridiculous. pax are complaining left right and centre about the fact you only have 28 inch seat pitch one side and 29 the other. The forward left windshield galley was removed and seats shuffled on the right to allow an extra six seats to be put in.
Fair enough it gets the cabin from 125 to 131 but at what cost?
Already PAX are saying "I'm not flying with this lot again". recent flights i noticed were 128 pax etc so not all the six installed are getting used and the cost of doing this change must have been huge.
Perhaps they should remove the seats and have standing room only or convert one of the cargo holds

I notice the GSM101 MAN-YYZ flight time has changed from 1300 to 1345 arriving now 1715 instead of 1625 at YYZ.
Has this involved a change of a/c or is the 767 still on these ops.

That would be just about bearable for a quick hop down to London, but further afield must be hell, especially if you are of any height or shape

Anyone in the know able to comment on the B738 currently based at Liverpool. With no summer schedule released for this aircraft, is the TFS service to be shelved or are they still finalising the summer schedule?
Thanks

Is this another example of Flyglobespan over-expanding? 6 flights weekly to LCA seems ambitious at the same time as ZB announce LTN - LCA 3 or 4 times weekly from 26th March.
