Hi Folks
Changing the subject slightly, but concerning MAN management.
How do you feel about the management at MAN signing you all up to trial the National ID database? Removing your right to say no to the database under penalty of losing your job.
Is anyone up there doing anything to fight it? At the moment you are the first line of defence.......Not like the Manchester lads to take something like this lying down.

A pat on the back for T3
Only SLF, so I don't have any experience of aircrew tribulations at security checks. At MAN all my recent experience is through T3, so I don't have anything useful to say about current layout of T1 or T2 either. However, I have found the new arrangement in T3 quite good, apart from the long walk from security to the waiting area.
On a recent Sunday morning there was no wait at security, no shoes off or belt off, and even some competition from polite staff for my custom!
From what I recall of T1, getting past the shops is no worse than in a lot of other places, certainly no worse than the route from International Arrivals to Domestic Departures at Heathrow T1.

Stop Bars
To quote Roy Hudd ...... 'Professional pilots do not need to be told to stop at Stop Bars. They know this'. So why Mr Hudd have 21 of your fellow professional pilots crossed stop bars so far this year ..... including one FAA category B 'significant potential for collision'?

Vigin are adding a saturday flight to BGI, and a sunday service to MCO. I presume this is where the A340@ MANrumour appeared from.
Google news and search 'manchester flights' for article,as I cant remember the link.

Just so the ATC people can relax, I'm writing about the ATIS....the ATIS...got it? If you're going to verbally and repeatedly warn all traffic at MAN about crossing red stopbars, what about NOTAM'ing it instead if it is so specifically worrying for MAN people? Or alternatively, use the Arrival and Departure ATIS to also and additionally advise us not to descend a foot below DA/MDA without continuous visual contact..stabilized, etc....or to follow the yellow line on the taxi route cleared without deviating...or to stop the aircraft on stand in accordance with the parking guidance system...(tricky one, that...antiquated and scrubby boards hard to discern in the dark)...etc, etc. There's potentially no end to safety advice, as exemplified by our H & S idiots in the UK.
Think I'm wasting my time here....au revoir.

I had half expected the LCY-MAN operation, one assumes there will be a further cut in the LHR-MAN frequency to allow more long haul ops on the slots. Be interesting to see how the loss of Flightline will impact upon this. Is there enough capacity to introduce this as a high freq service without pulling out of another market? We shall see.
As for JL and the 77W, you've lit the blue touch paper on that one.
caro340 I agree, an A340 would be a good addition to the MAN line up, been lacking of late. Don't let the spiteful oddballs get you down mate.
