So does the a/c just sit on the ground in EWR over the weekend?

"Does the a/c sit on the ground in EWR all weekend"........ Yes!

[A320fan]

Is she the proper Red and Siver colour or has she been painted quickly white with a few tins of Dulux found in the garden shed like AD?!

She was in the full red & silver livery when she arived at Leeds looking very good indeed.

Just out of curiosity how come the 757's pretty much always stay at the same bases? Its normally G-LSAH/I/G up at Leeds, 'AB at Belfast, 'AC or AA or AD at NCL and 'AA/AE/AD at MAN? are they just more suited performance wise or is it just random?

[richardnei]

It's party due to the number of seats on each a/c. For example AB has 228Y so on bfs flights they know they can only sell 228. Also the config of each also varies as they've all come from different backgrounds.

I asked into this last week. Seating and galley arrangements are a factor but it's Engineering odly that is the deciding factor?

LBA can keep AG/AH/AI!!

[commit aviation]

By and large the ex Chinese aircraft will stay in LBA due seat config.

AJ might be named New York but she is unlikely to head off across the pond - not the lightest airframe in the fleet I understand......

[JohnnyRocket]

Anyone got a photo of the New York jet?

[757 Speedbrakes]

Looks like the others - from the outside anyway!!

I Belive AB and AE are earmarked for pond-crossing duties. Most efficeint according to the fuel league table and I belive they could also get Winglets. Both vey nice to fly too.

When NY charter flights begin will Jet2 have ETOPS in place and take an ETOPS route? Just noticed on the flyglobespan forum there ETOPS is back in place and made me wonder about Jet2.

Would a Jet2/Flyglobespan merger ever happen anytime soon?

Canaries flights have gone on sale this evening:
LBA - TFS / LBA - ACE
MAN - TFS / MAN - ACE
NCL - TFS / NCL - ACE
BLK - TFS

Somewhat slimmed down programme.
Nothing from BFS and nothing to LPA (at least not yet!)
Tuesday TFS flights gone too!

[take-off]

Were the tfs from blk that bad to have cut Tues flights or have they not loaded them on system yet? If just weekly flight will we see the 757 popping in?

Think you've had too much of that sherbert!

[flybar]

Any idea why tonights inbound Ibiza flight to LBA has diverted to DTV?

[3redsnawhite]

Flybar,

Low cloud and a CAT 1 aircraft. One attempt on 32 then off to DTV.

[Illuminated Windsock]

See no Tues Tenerife flights from LBA shame because many people like the 10 Day holiday

[leedsnorthern]

Does anyone know what's happened with the Faro - Leeds flight today? Was also wondering when Summer 2009 will be going on sale - is it usually August time?

[N707ZS]

Leeds Faro departed from Durham Tees Valey as that was where the 757 was diverted to the day before.
Is it cheaper to do a P flight or bus the pax to DTVA?

[Wellington Bomber]

Is it cheaper to do a P flight or bus the pax to DTVA?

What do you think?

I think the fuel burn for a few coaches is slightly less than a B757

I cannot believe some of the questions on someforums
