Devil TOYL

TOYL may well end up appearing at some point but if so, it will more than likely be another airframe. However, with the uncertainty over LH's intentions for Baby, I wouldn't hold your breath

Too many people seem to think acquiring an a/c on lease is as simple as picking up a new car. The whole history of the a/c and its components have to be gone through, aswell as its physical condition, prior to acceptance. Anything not picked up on acceptance becomes your cost liability at its next 'C' check or when you hand it back whether or not the discrepancy came during service with your airline. Read into that what you will

Du hast mir nicht gesehen, richtig.........

I am an FO. My job seems to involve turning the temp up and down in the cabin. I have noticed that if i keep the cabin cold then hot drink sales increase, and vice versa.

If bmibaby are operating charter flights this winter, are they going to get their licence sorted out? According to the CAA website, they only have a scheduled service route licence and not a charter one.

I've had a whisper from a very good source that Lufthansa have big plans for bmibaby! I can't say to much but it looks like talks in motion about A319's to be purchased from September 2009!

Emergency Landing

Plane lands with cracked window



A passenger plane has made an emergency landing at Birmingham International Airport after a crack was found in a side window.
The BMI Baby service from Belfast arrived at the airport just after 0900 GMT. No-one was hurt in the incident.
The firm said the aeroplane landed safely and added "at no point were passengers or crew in danger".
The flight from Belfast was destined for Birmingham but an emergency landing was declared as a precaution, it said.
Fire and ambulance services were alerted and sent to the runway. West Midlands Fire Service said it sent three appliances to the scene. BMI Baby said in a statement: "As a precautionary measure, flight WW1022 from Belfast International Airport to Birmingham International Airport, on 19 November 2008, declared an emergency landing due to a cracked side window."

AVRODAMO.
After reading about the CC of Air Canada taking over from the FO, maybe you should polish up your tea making skills.

A very sad day. Another Airline just about gone.

There is no airline in the world that would pay for bmibaby. I even doubt if you could give it away.

There is nothing to sell. All the aircraft are leased and the office's are rented.

All the routes are available for any airline to operate so why buy?

The management have stuffed you all. Again.

My guess is FlyDubai for everyone.
