BA Cityflyer

[4468]

Anybody care to guess who will be operating the Iberian destinations from BHX and MAN?? Quite a long way for a Dash 8?

[Jaq]

I think it's more that they have got rid of BAR, and it's more than 2 years so they can reopen Gla - Lcy.

[GBALU53]

One must look long term the Iberian flights will be operated the EMB195s if they can get them delivered from the manufacturer as there seems to be a problem at the moment and the Manfacturer has not been able to meet the delivery slots.

Not very good is it.

The next 18 months will see how well all this is going or how badly and over committed it is going to be.

With only seven weeks to go before summer timetables start what suprises will this takeover reveal, good times or bad times, lets be hopefull for Joe Bloggs and his familly to get some good deals and get the public on those vacant seats.

Only the second time for BA LCY-GLA

[Superpilot]

Will Flight Crew also be based at LCY?

[towser]

Superpilot - No plans to base flight crew in LCY.

[4468]

Superpilot - There will indeed be 'Flight Crew' based at LCY. In the form of cabin crew. There will never be any pilots based there.

[virginblue]

With these 22 daily flights from LCY, is the whole Avro RJ100 fleet busy - or to put it differently, how many jets are still available for additional flights ?

[red17]

Iom - Lcy

Any idea if BACF are looking at IOM. If the finance sector is important in their business plan then IOM could be a possibility.

[MarkD]

how many RJ100 flights does LCY allow per day due noise contour?

[Dash-7 lover]

RJ85's

Heard they might be after some RJ85's to replace some of the 100's

[Agent Oringe]

There was a recent Ad in Flight for BAE146 /RJ100 Captains & First Officers to be based at LCY. This was by the contract agency PAS, they were also offering paid accommodation and transport.

[towser]

Don't know who the LCY based jobs were for but they weren't for Cityflyer.

[TFR]

LCY jobs

They were for Cityjet who are increasing their ops at LCY to 10 destinations for AF

[TURIN]

BA internal recruitment still after 3 B1 Licensed Engineers based at LCY. Not many takers. Wonder why? Sick of dodgy RJ APUs?

[skiddyiom]

"Wonder why? Sick of dodgy RJ APUs?"

More like sick of the same dodgy management!

[Jaq]

Turin, the APUs don't cause any problems. That job is covered by management.

[virginblue]

- the two "new" RJ85 that will replace two RJ100s are, by the way, ex Blue1 aircraft and thus two of the newest Avro RJs around.

- Cityflyer has filed slot requests at DUS for summer 08.

RJ85 Ready 4 delivery

BACF first RJ85 reg G-LCYB has been resprayed in NWI into full BA colours

Anyone know when it is due to operate it's first flight? Also have they decided which routes to put it on?? WAW/BCN/MAD or NCE?

G-BXAR and G-BXAS that were due to return to lessor have had there lease extended due to the increased flying program from May 08

Embraer 170/190s next?

ATI reports the following today "BA commercial director Robert Boyle says the carrier is looking at the Embraer 170/190 family and "may look again" at turboprops. He adds that switching to younger RJ-family aircraft is also a possibility." In other words keep all your options open to get the best deal when you do decide.
