I Hope Boston Does Return To GLA & Maybe Start JFK!!
But Unless They Have Plans To Get Additional Aircaft..I Can Only See Boston Returning. Be Good If It Was On A 757

Not unless GSM launch a route to JFK from GLA and put it via knock using a 73G ! I think it will come down to only 1 of the routes being launched anyway because they don't have the a/c unless they are planning to get 1 from somewhere !

Exactly that..... but not as many delays as GSM

Firstly yet again a 737 across the atlantic (hope its got its liferafts)

Where is the 75, oh its having an engine overhauled, oh lets lease the other one out then..

This company will never learn

As a former employee of Aviance at GLA,
So they have made some staff improvements then?

GSM built their reputation on the back of all AVIANCE'S good hard work and then dumped them and hung them out to dry! I spent to much time busting my ballls for you only to be told that AVIANCE was holding you back
I think you'll find it was the good hard work of the GSM flight and Cabin crew.
You'll be one of the diligent aviance staff that regularly left us with no stand guidance, despite prior warning of arrival? Not occasionally, but so regularly it was embarrassing. And when you did get a boot up the arse, sauntered over at a slow walking pace, like there was no urgency.
...who pulled the ground power without checking?
...who lost track of where the steering pins had gone...
...ditto the towbars...
...who were uncontactable by any means whatsoever when slot times were tight...
...who bad mouthed us to pax directly...
...who spent time laughing and joking while we pulled on stand- with 50+ tonnes of aircraft coming towards you...
...who got all 'shirty' when I had a quiet chat about ramp safety, and not driving/walking about in front of the arriving aircraft (note- the last thing we
want is an ingestion because the guy on the ground isn't paying attention. It's not good PR, and the forms would be endless. It would ruin our day as well as his.)

Makes me happy that the same week you twats "dumped" my former employer,was the week that they won a handling contract with BA-one of the planets biggest airlines!!!Hope the good guys make it a success but i fear the worst for you all withy TD at the helm!!BOOHOO!!!At least i'm honest!!
Don't you just love it? An alleged adult using informative terms such as boohoo.

I'm glad you've moved on. Hopefully, you can now start afresh, instead of lugging the chip about. Have a look at my comments above though. It might help keep you safe AND employed.
I'm glad Aviance won a big contract. There were several guys there that really worked hard (above and beyond), and while sometimes having cause to be unhappy, managed to continue in a professional manner. It was a pleasure to work with them. Sadly equally let down by their own colleagues who simply couldn't give a damn (presumably so long as the payslip arrived each week)

As for companies losing contracts, gaining contracts. Thats called business. When an arrangement isn't working, then you review it, and make changes.

Sorry to ruin your above rant but isn't ALBA staff 99% ex-aviance staff? I'm pretty sure someone from Aviance pointed out that the 'bad apples' took the move to ALBA just before GSM moved.

Think the BOS service is to come back with a 737-700 doing that route ! Not sure on JFK if it was launched again they would need to get another A/C from somewhere and i doubt it would be from liverpool 7 days a week they would use another uk airport going via knock !

The 757 will probably be parked until Jan now.. Especially as GSM have discovered they can make even more money by leasing out parts of planes they dont use.

Think I'll try that with my car. Send it to the garage for a service and lease the wheels out to my neighbour so he doesnt wear down his own tread. How much do you think I'd get a day for 4x 225:50:17's anyway?..

Better hope there isnt a family emergency and I need the car back that night though, otherwise we'll need to use the kids bikes.... Oh hang on, isnt that what GSM are doing?. Oh well, if it works for them eh?.

G-CEJM is being prepared for return to service at the moment. Engine arrived last night. It may be back in service by the weekend!

736s

Well it won't get far without engines!

The 736s are pretty much out of service for the winter anyway, as there is heavy maintenance due on the undercarriage.

B736 at SEN

The B736 at SEN should enter the hangar next week for engine installation and recovery from storage but as Luvly Jubbly suggests it will only be made good for a ferry flight to another location for Landing Gear removals.
