Regarding the 'extra' GLA's on sundays. That must be because of the extra aircraft needed in GLA for the charters. Surely out of those 4 flights 2 aircraft fly down to LCY and stay their in time for monday's program. Instead of positioning they are trying to get some money back while they are at it.

It wouldnt surprise me to see further expansion from BA at LCY
Think we might see a few more E jets & maybe a couple more A318's !
(in addition to the options on the Ejet already taken)

"BA Cityflier are currently unstoppable at LCY - their expansion is remarkable!"
That's what happens when you replace an acft people loathe (the RJ) with one they love; it's the difference between chalk and cheese; the airline flies two highly popular types; it's sometimes said that the type of aircraft doesn't matter; maybe on leisure flights, it doesn't, but business travellers do and I think this is a perfect example of the type of aircraft influencing the popularity of an airline.
Any chance of Jersey being served by BA Cityflyer?

akerosid, some people (like myself!!) did in fact like the RJ100s. But we are a rare lot 
.
Re: LCY - JER; you've got Aurigny from Stansted as well as Flybe and British Airways (mainline) from Gatwick. BMI dropped the Heathrow route for lack of demand, and Cityjet dropped the City route earlier this year - however it was speculated that the failure of the Heathrow route was partly due to a very loyal Jersey based BA customer base.
For this reason, an LCY - JER route operated by Cityflyer might well work out, and it could share handling with the already established LGW route. It could therefore be concluded that they might give it a shot in the next year or so - any hope for Guernsey though? With FlyBe and Aurigny already flying from Gatwick (with the former introducing 175s on the route as of April) as well as flights from Stansted and Southampton (mind you, this is the same as Jersey), I doubt it.

S11 Charters
Has anyone heard any info on exactly how many charter flights BACF are planning to operate during S11 from EDi, GLA and ABZ?
I notice that BACF are operating 3 one off charter flights from LBA to NAP next summer on behalf of Omega Holidays. Does anyone know if BACF are operating any other flights on behalf of this tour operator??

I've got an assessment day coming up with BaCf. Can anyone give some info on rosters. Are they all day trips or any overnighters? City looks like an expensive place to relocate to?
Any top tips on the assessment day would be appreciated. Pm may be more appropriate.

@ Forcandle. Rosters have no real pattern in them. Could be anything from 5/6 day trips to daytrips with almost every combination possible. For f/o's rosters are stable, captains less so.
Found some BACF charters on another website from STN to Venice (4x) and Birmingham to Stockholm in June. (1x)
