Automatic PA
Had a delayed flight last week and was listening to that automatic annoucement system they have installed in T2.
It does have quite a lot of problems with its pronunciation. It called Onur Air as "owner air" and it also had problems with quite a few destinations being pronouced wrongly.
Has anyone else noticed this?

East Midlands airport is also using a similar system. The thing is, many airlines prefer more in their announcements than just ''Airline Flight1234 to XXX, is now ready for boarding at gate XX''
I know many of the gate staff in the end were having to make their own announcements anyway so I dont see the point. The only good thing about it in my opinion is that it repeats it in the language of the destination the flight is heading.

EZY GOT
I think you will find that the City Airline service is definitely aimed at the business traveller (as can be seen from the fares they charge) and the EZY service would be for the leisure market. I don't know if it's the case at MAN but at BHX the service actually reduces during holiday periods i.e factory/business shutdowns.

Think it stemmed from this: Overseas flights surge in Charlotte; take off for Rome tonight? - CharlotteObserver.com
No emphasis re Manchester, but interesting stats re USA hubs, in that
So, in regards to Manchester - USA hubs we have 2 yet to be covered.
Atlanta: Got that
Dallas: Needs service. AA?
Chicago: Yep, got that covered
Charlotte: Never thought of that 1
Philly: Covered

"The US Airways hub in Charlotte is now the nation's fourth-largest,.... The largest hub is Delta's in Atlanta, with 811,000 weekly seats; American's hub at Dallas-Fort Worth follows with 576,000 weekly seats.
US Airways in Charlotte had 388,000 weekly seats in April, slightly less than United at Chicago, with 392,000. The US Airways hub in Philadelphia had 266,000 seats.

What about Continental at Houston and Delta at DTW and MSP? I would have put them well ahead of CLT.
AA have tried MAN-DFW in the past id I recall?
Or was it just BOS and MIA and JFK that were tried?

aa did dallas a few years back, it was a pretty busy route, with many flight sold out, also boston and miami did pretty, they were stopped because of something to do with british airways as per usual, they leave manchester then dont like other airlines doing well here.
