Does anyone know the reason for this seemingly odd scheduling for certain very limited periods? At least it means you can book with some certainty for the rest of the time.

Should be out friday, but 11 days out of the 31 were 3 class a/c.
However, since 15th October, only 1 x 3 class 77W has been used on the NCL route, no idea if that is any indication of loads, or whether it's just a case of better availability of 2 class 77Ws.

I think it's mainly just to do with fleets and scheduling etc, although a 3 class aircraft would indicate that, obviously, there weren't enough people to make a 2 class aircraft the only option. Things are definitely picking up with EK at NCL though, not that I ever thought they weren't working though

Try saying Beer Can, without sounding like a Jamaican saying Bacon. 
I'd assume these would be similar to the curreent Barbados cruise charters, TOM 787s. I know GLA had been announced but not NCL?

EK77NCL.
Re 3 class 777s, no its just about demand. Both BHX and MAN also had some planes with less seats recently but nowhere near 11 !
Just the time of year, yours should pick up now too as demand increases towards XMAS, so don't worry.

From the BEEB:
Flybe, the Exeter-based airline, is proposing to close six bases as part of its cost-cutting plan.
Bases at Aberdeen, Guernsey, Inverness, Isle of Man, Jersey and NEWCASTLE are due to close as the airline looks to save £85m over the next few years.

I'm interested to see how this is will affect their NCL operations...SOU and BHD can use SOU and BHD based a/c. I should think the Gatwick route will continue until EZY take it over (otherwise the slots which have been sold to EZY would be lost.....Jersey/Newquay and Limoge are the interesting ones. No dates have been given for the base closures.
Anyone got any thoughts?

The base closures take effect at the same time the LGW routes cease so time wise it will only be the EXT, BHD, SOU, JER and LIG routes affected.
All of which are achievable. For those not operating from such core bases such as BHD and SOU, a possible pattern could be:
EXT-NCL-JER-NCL-EXT
SOU-LIG-NCL-LIG-SOU-NCL-SOU
Just because the base is closing does not mean the routes will neccesarily stop. However alot depends on whether they actually make any money

It's gone quiet??
Last month or so gone quiet
Westjet -
After launching YYZ to Dublin they are now looking to add other UK routes to EDI, MAN!
Could the airport tempt Westjet to NCL for a weekly summer service?

From the BEEB today. Nothing we didn't already know:
Easyjet has claimed it will create 200 jobs when it launches new routes from Gatwick Airport.
Flights to Brussels and Strasbourg will start on 30 March after the firm bought slots at the airport from Flybe.
Routes to Jersey, Paris and Newcastle will also be launched, as well as increased services to other destinations in the UK and Europe.
The airline said it would be employing an extra 200 pilots and cabin crew who will be based at Gatwick. Easyjet has claimed it will create 200 jobs when it launches new routes from Gatwick Airport.
