Apparantly the large brown suitcase ,filled with used, non sequencial notes has reached the appropriate toilet cubicle at the CAA and GSMs ETOPS has been restored with immediate effect.
Perhaps due to some management, er, re-arranging?

Hmmm!!!
Perhaps an individual from the management (or mis-management) as it was -
has fallen on their sword
Thus renewing the (misplaced) faith that who is left as the "accountable manager"
- will be left alone and given appropriate autonomy to address the obvious shortcomings 
Yeah right... I can just see Mr D. sitting down and being openminded to the forthcoming lecture..!!

Here here! Martin is a good bloke and has coped well since his "baptism of fire" arriving at GSM.
Lets hope ******* takes heed from this close call and starts to build his business constructively rather than bimbling his way from one disaster to another.
Good luck to all at GSM anyway.

AEUENG, you are right about Martin but I wonder just how much longer He can put up with it when JM left it was hoped He would not be treated in the same way but it appears to be worse.

MATKAT,
You are right, Jim had to bare the brunt of TD for long enough and did a good job whilst there. He is doing a good job for Storm Aviation at the mo at Manchester.
Mr.D at GSM is good at what he does (ie tour operating) but when it comes to running an airline, he needs to delegate his power to experienced and well trusted folk within the Airline sector to make a success of his airline business. He has his head screwed on as his history shows witin the tour operating business.
I hope for all concerned that lessons can be learnt from the recent misdemeanours.

Gla-bcn
The GLA pax were bused through to EDI and will fly from there to BCN and same for the return flight.
G-MSJF is still tech in GLA, the engine manufacturer is now looking into the problem.

And todays article in the Sunday Mail (Scottish) was also not very good publicity for GSM with delays etc. I also hope it gets better for GSM - because regardless Scotland in particular have been crying out for an operator like them. Its also really worth noting I think that EZY never did really bother about Scotland on a european level until the arrival of GSM and for me...whenever possible - but also taking into consideration prices - I use GSM between AGP and GLA.

Yes, it was ironic seeing this in the paper today as a few pages after this article was an advert for FGS.
I believe this is the start of something bad for globespan. At this point holiday watchdog companies will be looking into matters, only to further publicize globespan's errors.

Very good GSM SCOT..."looking into the problem"....HAH!!The last time i looked over to stand 65 (where JF has sat for a week or so now at GLA),it was looking like the engineers were preparing to do an engine change!
Its a shame that they have to work outside in the p*****g rain due to the lack of a hangar and that the EZY pax get a good view of everything from the east pier(where most of that airlines flights depart from GLA)!Bloody brilliant advert!!
I take it that its all Boeings fault??
Or GE?
It will be somebody elses fault as usual!!
Just another day in the hapless life of this terminally ill excuse for an airline i guess!!
Looks like you might well be turning a corner-straight into another dead end anyway!
By the way,is GCDKD still sitting in SEN without its engines??
Hah!!Even if you guys could fix your "fleet",you probably wouldn't be able to find anybody to fly the equipment as you're currently "downsizing" and "restructuring" the workforce for the winter program!Pathetic!Heads in the sand hoping the problem goes away is not going to work i'm afraid.

not sure..but think it started off in MAN.These pax will be pretty annoyed(and tired)after their impromptu tour of various airports but i think that's the way its going to be all winter.I'm not surprised though.Anyone else?Quite a few "rescheduled" departures ex GLA today.The YHM flight must be a 73 with a fuel stop as ETOPS restored now that i think about it...never really noticed but pax on other flights were getting bussed to EDI-again.Its becoming the daily norm around here.

out of the 17 post you have posted on prune 11 are anti Globespan. It would seem to me touch&go that his nickname says it all.
Out of the all the posts in the last few years you have posted on prune all are pro Globespan, most recently a very public slanging match with a former camp follower and now bitterly critical ex employee.
