Chances are that when the summer season gets into full swing (from May) GSM will have leased another 767 to cover so May - Oct will more than likely have the 767 on the SFB routes. They may still throw in the 75 now and again but not unless they have to.
The problems just now are due to them reducing the flights and A/C size because of bums on seats over the winter. Add to that the ETOPS mess and its not something they can sustain when number of flights increase from March.

Well I guess the lucky punters can spread out on the 767 tomorrow to SFB, as the 757 is off to Malaga for the day

Ok..... So it's the 757 today, as a ground handler drove into the 767

2 B787s are due in 2010, but Boeing are already announcing delays to the launch customers, so this might get pushed back a bit.
Globespan only owns the 737-600s. All other aircraft are leased.
Two of the 737-600s are being sold.

I think it's a sensible move, to raise cash by getting rid of two of the 600s. They were perfect for AMS and STN from Scotland, but they're pretty useless on many of our routes due to their short range.

Shame they can't try the EDI-STN route again. Give EZY another run for their money. Don't know why GSM opened that route for one summer only, always seemed full, decent prices. Now EZY charge what they like.

Is there any hope for us travelling to Sanford on GSM725 in 4 weeks time? 
How on earth are Globespan going to cope with an increase in flights when they can't seem to get even one flight per week there and back without some sort of drama or delay? Will they ever have ETOPS again?
Please can someone tell me things are going to get better.
