[GOLF-INDIA BRAVO]

G-CEFG arrived Manchester last Thursday after crew training at Liverpool to operate the YYZ and CPT flights and arrived back from Cape Town this morning and as far as I am aware has gone back again and should return Wednesday morning

Jethro that's a lot of info but I won't hold my breath as it will no doubt change by next week again.

[diesel36]

G-CEFG is indeed on the CPT, it arrives back this evening about 19.45

GSM are not having those 2 excel 757,s

2 are coming from icelandair and the other 2 i hear are from EL AL

yes G-CDPT will be going to mumbai , gsm flight deck and crew are going in batches on 17 day secondments, mumbai to kul/hkg/bkk

and recently the LPL/JFK was offering on the website 50" sleeper seats

so is that going on a 767.. ? cant find answer to that

and while the 767 is away 6 sfb from gla will go on the 737-800

[Vuelo]

Surely MAN will gt some more services to make GM's investment worthwhile? I assume CPT won;t run in the summer months?

[point5]

Where about did it say about 50" on the Liverpool flights? I have been keeping tabs on this flight as am looking to book next August. Anyone have an thoughts or personal reviews on travelling business class from a recent flight with GSM. Various other websites speak quite highly of the service.

Thanks.

Air-India lease is indeed taking place until the end of April but the aircraft is not coming back to the UK on Saturdays. The Glasgow-Sanford on Saturdays will be operated by a 737-800 with tech stop at Bangor...

This could be true, as the route atm is GLA-BFS-SFB and back again. Although PT is operating the route.

Flighterider, does this mean there will be just the 1 767 to do the man routes on FRI, SAT and MON? If so when does the Air India lease start?

All seems a bit strange as they have only just got G-CEFG, although they must know what they are doing, or they wouldn't order 2 787's.

[Tommyinyork]

Someone tell me what is operating the MAN-YYZ in Jan then.
Why dont GSM wet-lease a 757 this winter ?

[Jet_stream]

The 767 will be fding GLA/BFS- SFB, MAN - CPT and YYZ with the 738 covering GLA - SFB on Saturdays until the next 767 arrives early next year.

Globespan coming back to prestwick????

I recently heard that Globespan were going to go back into prestwick big time for summer 07. Can anyone confirm this. I know that the globespan guys have been training at prestwick the last couple of days, and this rumour is well known to the staff at prestwick.

Any ideas, real or rubbish????

[Tommyinyork]

So G-CEFG will be on the MAN-YYZ service. Also has this had a cabin refurb and does anyone have cabin shots.

.......Rubbish. If they do, they can watch their passenger numbers plummet.

It would be great if this was true but I have my doubts. Easyjet and British Airways train pilots at Prestwick but I'm sure they won't be moving there. Even if Flyglobespan decided to move back to Prestwick would there be enough capacity at the airport not only for 2007 but for future expansion?

[1_4_the_road]

Possibly because prestwick might be a cheap airport to do its Touch and Goes...

Vuelo - I have applied to GSM and understand all pilots are dual Manchester / Liverpool based. So in answer to your question you can expect more GSM activity from Manch ... using the LPL based 757 and / or the 737.

Or, on the other hand, more from flyGlobespan out of Liverpool.

Ive been told that during the summer the MAN-YYZ-MAN will be operted on a 757 with the same 3 class (but less seats ) config. Not sure it will work but we shall see

"Heap of Rubbish" - allegations

Any further news of the delayed flight from Lanzarote to Edinburgh end of last week? The Scotsman and the Edinburgh Evening News have made the most of it - where allegedy the flight crew called their aircraft "a heap of rubbish" and "very limited" - the old SAS B737 600 then?? The papers of the 18th have all the "detail"
