Affirm. Both 73's are QC's for the Night Time Royal Mail flights.
Should still be the same no's as for winter. Although, aircraft are swapped around bases so not always the same tail no.s.
One for ATC........
Heard a rumor formal SIDs and STARs will be appearing??????

Nothing new from Flybe for winter 08/09. I had hoped that the the boss would have announced something about expansion plans during his visit for the naming ceremony yesterday.
Only hope is that most of flybe's new routes from NCL have been announced later than the general timetable release.

Believe it is a codeshare on the existing Brussels Airlines flights.
Anyone know what is happening about the runway resurfacing supposed to be taking the place this winter - and what is happening with the Farnair, Neptune and Channex freight flights?

Runway resurfacing starts after christmas, not sure of the exact dates. I am yet to hear exactly what is happening to the mail and freight flights, although I would expect them to op out of MME for the duration of the works.

not sure how that will work for jet2... aircraft is needed for pax ops during the day so would have to position to MME and back to operate flights, also NCL has all of the jet2 ground equipment for changing a/c from pax to cargo mode... guess we'll just have to wait and see!
DTV Freight flights
According to my post office contact...all freight flights will operate from newcastle but back into DTV !!! Position out to Newcastle early morning after runway opens....not sure if we will have enough ATC staff to cover though?? we will see??

They are quick change aircraft so I would imagine it is easy (and quick!), to convert them into freight, although not sure exactly what is involved though...anyone from EXS shed any light on how it is done?

737QC (Quick Change) version with palletized seating allowed for faster configuration changes between cargo and passenger flights. The seats are in pallets of 10 rows are so. They exit the cargo hold into trailers stored on the golf apron.
Great skills by the jet 2 crew with only flap 15 available on thursday evening. No excessive breaking ment fire rescue quickly returned to base. Well apart from rescue two who went via stand 21 to hose down hundreds of bees that had decided to gather on a coaches front lights
