FlyGlobespan -7

[Mehdi757]

Any information as to when we'll hear of the middle east contract confirmation for the B767? Its been in the air for sometime now.

[Flightrider]

I thought the deal had been done with Oman Air for a 767 and two 737s this winter?

For those who like to play with on-line programmes, this one can be usefull:

Could be right. 1x738 there for the summer first though

[Mehdi757]

If the 763 goes to Oman, im sure it would do some very interesting routes, probably LHR or the Far East. I wonder what the hybrid livery would look like too? Muscat is a very nice place, a bit too serene for some maybe.

[MMS]

what sort of roster would flight crew get for the 763 if it was based in Oman? Would it be like a 4 weeks on 2 weeks off?

[luvly jubbly]

Heard 2 weeks on & 2 weeks off..... Sounds a bit generous for TD. Maybe 2 on 1 off?? It's not til the Winter though. Lots of things can change before then!!

[MMS]

sounds like a great offer indeed if its 2 on 2 off. But your right, theres a long time to wait and things could change totally by the winter.

[Jimmy Riddle]

LJ 2 on 2 off !!! You are kidding aren't you? There's no way that'll happen, look at the examples - Kuala Lumpur contract crews travelled business till TD realised he could send them steerage and still claim business travel from the charterer.
It's high time our Pilots council did some work to stamp out this sort of opportunism, we all know how bad last summer was but until we start to be treated fairly resignations will continue - another 3 this week I hear.

Anyone know why GSM725 delayed AGAIN today. the flight back from sanford got back around 10:30am yet the outbound flight today still hasnt taken off.Has the 767 went tech or something?

[luvly jubbly]

Tech I'm afraid. Due out at midnight now. (15hrs late)

[Mr A Tis]

Interesting (not) how this thread seems to revolve around every single Globespan longhaul departure.

Whats the problem with GSM'S Glasgow-Barcelona today i see its canceled is it because the 757 isn't there to cover it?

Belfast flight

The Glasgow-Belfast-Orlando flight is looking like a disaster again. The plane won't get into Belfast untill 1.15 am sat (due at 10.40am fri) and as for the outbound flight to Orlando? The Belfast International airport website just says 'CONTACT AIRLINE/AGENT'.

And it's a 757-200

[ROSSKi MYT]

How will this affect tomoros flight?

[2leeet]

It normally comes into Belfast Internationl around 9-10am n then out to Glasgow so atm, there is no Orlando flight 'CONTACT AIRLINE/AGENT' so i really don't know. it will have a knock on effect on everything. Why cant they just leave on time

[scotsunflyer]

Sat should be the 763

[2leeet]

767

if you go to the belfast International airport website, go to destinations (along side)-scheduled flights, oag timetable n then fill in for orlando on fridays, it says 752. but after april, it says its a 763.

[2leeet]

maybe it was just scheduled as a 752. well i know that at least 1 763 is back with flyglobespan but i have a feeling it is still in air india colours. still, no departure to sfb yet with the 767, wat would the 752 be like lol

[fdw87]

What would have went wrong with the plane considering its only back from its C check? worrying? or could this have happened to any plane?
