And back in the real world, why is it that BA have cancelled virtually all the LHR services the last couple of days post strike? As usual it appears the slightest hicup anywhere in the system and the NCL flights are cut, I am now very reluctant to book BA flights when I have a choice of other carriers as they are simply no longer reliable. Comments anyone?

I have to agree and I, too, would be very reluctant to book a BA flight from NCL given the alternatives.

2011 see's Florida flights start in April, first time this has happened for many a year is it not? (SFB in April, not SFB flights in general ).
It looks like the Cancun flights are starting in April for the first time as well according to the Thomson website.

Following the problems associated with the U2 GVA/BOH rotations this winter, I have heard that GVA flights from NCL will be crewed by GVA based flight crew for Winter 2010/11.

I wonder whether this will free up a NCL based aircraft for a new winter route from the region, or whether U2 are planning to lose more a/c from the north east. I sincerely hope it's not the latter.

REF: SFB in April

Remember that easter 2011 is quite late in April...so it will be the first time in a few years that the tour ops have the ability to run a program beginning April and running onwards into Summer supported by the school easter holidays without a very poor few weeks in between 'normal' earlier easter hols and the start of summer season 'proper' (May)

Oh you of little faith, "never say never", I suppose you'll also be prepared to stick your backside out of Fenwicks window.
N.b.The information I received did not emanate as result of some demented "reggies" fantasy.
Still this is after all only a rumour network & I accept that everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Though I am surprised that without any grounds then you can be so positive.

More EZY delays this morning by the looks of them, some of them approaching 2 hours?

Are they are still suffering from lack of crew? (Having laid a fair few off not so long ago?)

RTG!

ATC Sim.

Chaps,

After not getting a response from the email address published on the Airport website regarding the ATC Simulator, I dropped the Press Officer a line as I knew her from old during my time spent there filming Airline for ITV.

Anyway to cut a long story short, it looks like there has been an IT glitch which has now been rectified and the original email address is once again active.

Good luck,

K77.

Not sure about the GVA, the AGP departure this morning would likely to have been a STN crew.

I have heard that GVA from NCL for winter 2010/11 will see GVA crew operating the service.

Here in Hartlepool it is very gloomy and fog is rolling in.
So far, I can see that MME has had diversions from Birmingham & Brussels (one Eastern & 1 BMIbaby)

re LHR cancellations

I;m beginning to worry now, I booked some flights to Toronto last October to travel this April 17th. Granted its still a few weeks off yet but I am starting to regret paying £76 more to fly BA than to go from Manchester. The KLM/AF flights were £80 more before anyone asks why I didnt go with them lol.
