Do flyGlobespan ever reply to emails? I went for an interview 1st March and got a 2 to 1 interview and was told I would hear, as of yet not a sausage! How long does it take them to reply with an outcome of an interview?

Thought I'd read somewhere on the Cabin Crew forum that it was going to be an Icelandair 752 but can't find it now, sure it said something about 738 operating GLA-YHM 6x a week and once from MAN (the 7th GLA being cancelled), or something like that.....
All up in the air at the moment as to what will and what won't be operating, and as far as I can gather from the CC forum, they don't know what is going on either.

OBVIOUSLY NOT! (733 for anybody who doesn't know!

with another 4 x new 737W's still to arrive ( 3 x 738W's & a 737W ) for this summer aparently, do not be surprised if some/all these new aircraft are re-configured to suit the new transatlantic operations.

Glasgow Sanford with Globespan
As Globespan have now leased both of their 767's to Air India and leased 2 x 767 306's from Neo (which do not have Business or Premium seating) looks like there will be a lot of unhappy travellers this summer.
Can anyone confirm if there will be Business class accross the pond this summer or are we doomed to paying for a service simply to be informed that it wont be available just days before we travel, and have to waste time complaining to get the money back for a service we shouldn't have paid for in the 1st place???
I fly may 17th, returning June 1st and have spent all day surfing to get more info, as well as calls to Globespan who are still apparantly offering business class on those dates.
Aircraft quoted is 767 with business seating of 2-2-2. This is fine but have been told there will be a 767 with 2-2..... Great, space between the seates will be huge with just 4 seats accross a 767...Sounds like they are grabbing as much cash as possible to get the interest and then will plead ignorance to the fact they were never giving Business class in the 1st place. I've had my flight time changed already so it looks like the've started the dreaded TASS incremental changes (Time, Aircraft, Seating, Services).
This is my 2nd flight with GS, 1st was great, looks like this one could be a shambles.
Anyone got any insider info on the A/C planned for flights 17th May and 1st June?

the 737 in without low seat ( around 50 ) configuration is at it's limit around the Boston maybe at a stretch Toronto areas, so SFB direct is definetly out of the question unless stops are planned.
I would not be surprised if they lost a few seats and used the 737W's on the Glasgow to Boston, Liverpool to Newark or the UK to Hamilton flights. Seating can't be that much different to the 757 currently used by some airlines on U.K. > U.S. East Coast flights.
1 x B737-7W is destined for Aberdeen I believe, anyone know where the other is destined for ? or is it planned for longer flights.
The 767-300ER operated by Neos seem to be 280 seat unique class which i would believe to be single class with IFE so maybe it is planned to remove a few rows to offer seperate classes, dont suppose they are offering Neos catering though.

The NEOS A/C are set to be re-configured to offer Bus/PE/No-Frills, but BUS won't have sleeper seats I think. The service will be much the same as GSM provides, full meal service, etc.
The B752 will operate the YHM flights from GLA and the B738 will still operate the BOS flights over S07.
The 1st B737-700 that is currently at GLA will operate from ABZ over S07 and the 2nd is due Spring and will operate from MME, where it'll join the 1st B733 based there from Mar 07.

Globespan GLA-SFB
Hi webby1919. I'm getting so much conflicting oinfo out of GS I dont know if anyone there knows what is going on.
Latest is..they dont know what a/c will be flying accross the pond, apparently they will discover that later this afternoon??? How can they sell seats on a plane they dont know they will have?.
Info yesterday was it would be a 767, 3 class, 2-2-2 in business, then it was a 767 2-2 in business (yeah right, that would give you almost as much space as BA 1st class in a 777....dont think so). Then today its a 757 2-2 in business but the seat alocation letters were all wrong, now its back to a 767 with 38" pitch in business (not the 50" quoted) and they're not sure if it will be 2-2-2. 2-3-2 or whatever they can cram in on the day.
I've been promised a call later today. If they ever get round to deciding what will be flying I'll let you all know. In the mean time I'm not holding my breath. By the time May gets here we'll be flying an a fokker 100, stopping in the Faroes, Iceland, Greenland, Canada, and North Carlolina to take on coal and water to stoke the boiler.

It looks as though the Timetables for longhaul are being rejigged just now - they're not available for booking, so what you say might actually be in the process of updating the site just now to give seat pitches, etc.
