Watchdog's a load of utterly biased, boring rubbish.

With respect, Watchdog have been holding back on this for months simply to ensure that this time they were absolutely on the mark.
Kudos for their dilligence.

Can you blame Nicky Campbell for getting his facts right when he is dealing with a middle aged man who wears t-shirts with hillarious slogans on?

Did anyone see Autumnwatch on BBC 2? Wild Boar in the Forest of Dean.

I should imagine the 3rd B763 willl be covering the West Canada routes next summer, with the B752 doing Sanfords. I guess any BOS or YHM would have to be on the B738s and B73Gs again.

I must admit that on the telly, the tailskid looked rather close to the RWY, but from that distance with telephoto lenses it's very difficult to judge.
With F5, a B737-800 would only have 20" RWY clearance at the correct rotation rate anyway.

Think there still sent up 2 KEF if there using a 737 on these routes unless it goes through NOC ! Will GSM be launching any new long-haul destinations next year ? Does anybody think they will bring back JFK ?

Can't see it happening, given that the Port authority of NYC has allegedly banned them from operating there after their abandonment of passengers a wee while back.

The 737-700 can easily operate direct from GLA to BOS and has done all summer on the days it didnt go via NOC.
