-LC has been at CWL since last week. -LB turned up on Monday.
Anyone know how long they intend to be parked up there? They are being stored on Taxiway E which is commonly used for diversions / extra large a/c at CWL.

Just returned from YVR round trip BA world traveller plus, they were excellent in every respect. As for T5 it all seemed to work very well, was quite empty but I was expecting something a bit more welcoming after all the hype. Check In was a dream ( on line and baggage drop) but thought Vancouver airport had a much nicer ambience.
BA well done for another excellent flight, looking forward to the next one!

Unusual for Virgin to be making more profit than BA:
WASHINGTON, Oct 7 (Reuters) - Virgin Atlantic reported on Tuesday a jump in
pretax profit to $125.9 million (72 million pounds) for the first half of its
fiscal 2008/2009 on higher passenger traffic and stronger revenues. link

This is good news for BA in very difficult market conditions. I have flown with them a few times recently so have been through T5, which I must say as a passenger is an excellent experience. Good luck to all at BA and I hope the next year continues to see profits (however big or small).

Looking at the years 2004-2008.
Fleet numbers have dropped 46; 291 to 245
The number of flights has dropped 110,000: 391,000 down to 281,000
The unduplicated route system has dropped 30,000km; 657,000 down to 629,000.
Passengers dropped 3 million; 36 million down to 33 million
And they are saddled with 50 odd fuel hogging quads.

How can BA replace "50 odd fuel hogging quads" in one go? Besides, it might be interesting to compare the fuel burn for each type in BA's fleet; Lufthansa sprung a surprise with their alleged "gas guzzler".
