am sure the BA strike is going down well with Silverjet. I wish it better luck on its maiden voyage from LTN than Exclibur. First flight hit by a Catering truck and out of service for a while...loadsa subs.....

I was told that the passengers would be transfered by luxury coach with darkened windows, to fully enclosed steps thus keeping total anonymity?

Lots of local TV reporting already. Well done Silverjet. Luton to New York scheduled all business class. Who would have thought this would have really happened, say even 12 months ago.
Their website confirms second daily Newark flight from July, with a third by the end of the year.

The PR Newswire site has a press release for Silverjet which has high-res actual photos of the aircraft interior as well as a 9-minute video which includes footage of the seat reclining, shots of the lounge at Luton and interviews with Lawrence Hunt and Peter Evans. Here's the link:

(I've no connection with Silverjet but I've booked a return journey at the end of April so I'm a very interested customer!)

Today's flight had been showing as 'sold out' for the last 5/6 days. Tomorrow's outbound is the same. So what happenned to the other 32 pax. No doubt stuck on the M1 in that horrendous northbound holdup that occured this morning.

Where next for those poor people...
Don't know who reads the application CVs,probably someone who can't read. You have to be best pals with Martyn Bridger to get into that company. Once he's had his fill he'll sell it off and then we'll see where they go.

I am confident you are absolutely not the right material for this company. Your post history say it all. You have something negative to say about almost every airline. Good luck with the job hunting though im sure with your attitude Zoom wont want to know either.
p.s MB does not own Silverjet
The best of luck to Silverjet

you of little faith....
There always a couple of "no hopers" who have to be negative right throughout a new airline launch - do you guys get off on this or something ??? very very sad...
Anyway...
Powerjet - the aircraft was intended to go out with less pax this was so the crew could get used to the service as it was the first time they had done it and they could take their time and ensure that pax were 110% happy with everything..... What company looks after their staff this well??? Before someone says it yes no doubt SJ ensured the load was enough to pay for it self or something along those lines.... I have friends that are crew at SJ and all went well..
Re - The horrendous traffic situation on M1 - mmmmmmm how can this be solved in the short term? errrrrrrrr "LEAVE EARLIER" - Go figure !!!.
Teachin - dear oh dear - as said above your always the same !!!! - maybe you should pick another career...tax inspector or traffic warden something to suit your glittering positive personality!!
Good luck SJ and all who fly with her.

Thanks for the info re pax numbers yesterday. Assume today's outbound was similar then, for the same reason. Anyway, well done Silverjet.
On a slightly different tack, the share price has been been rising considerably in recent weeks, as the inaugural flight date approached, and peaked at 167p yesterday, a 40% increase on its AIM offer price back in May last year.

Hi
Yes the pax numbers will be around the same for a week or so - about 70 crew in the initial classes so they all need to get used to the service...
I wish my airline would of done this instead of been thrown in a business class galley with a full load of pax !!

Would have thought that with the BA strike set for Tuesday and Wednesday Silverjet would have made a killing and be sold out. Yet both days are available and tickets can be bought for as little as £470 for the Wednesday.
