Re the "Sprinkler"
It looks like a valve in a water main has burst - the flow seems upwards or is that CApTtya !! - If that's the sprinkler sys at Manchester they have one of the most effective fire retardent systems in the world. - What's the pressure here 20-30 Hpa. ?

Clearly a slow news day at MEN, got to love how the story is completely dramatised, people in a state of disbelief, never seen anything like it before! Best not take those people to a waterpark or anything then, they'd pass out with the excitement!

Does seem very often now that any incident, regardless of how minor it is, gets overemphasised to 'scare' or 'alert' people in a worrying way.
Meanwhile, did anyone notice the ATSA job opening advertised by Capita? It was up for a month then taken down a few days ago. I certainly applied for it but not heard anything back.

anyone still know about the news about ZB in T2? I was on a ZB flight a couple of weeks ago and the crew said that Monarch were being 'forced' to go out of T1
Id say monarch usually use Pier C plus when they are at B they usually use a gate with an airbridge. The only flight that doesn't seem to do this is ZB574 to GIB
whether they get airbridges or not is not an issue, and even now at T1 many of their services are remote or B-pier steps.

Air Med
Who has bashed an Air Mediteranee A321 and caused an 8 hour delay this afternoon at Manchester.
220 unhappy passengers including quite a few in wheelchairs.
It seems that where ever Air Med go in the UK it goes wrong !

New ATC Tower
Does anyone have any details of the time schedule for the new tower?
I understand that it is due for completion in 2013 and presume therefore that work will start shortly in order to permit not just the construction also the fitting out.
Many thanks in advance

MKY661 - what a load of rubbish I'm afraid to have to say.
This is at least the 3rd time that EK will have had a double A380 departure in one day, so what will make this any different to the way that it has been handled before? Are you saying that it was chaos each time then?

well it said above that the flight was leaving at 14:30 and tomorrow leaves at 14:10 so both will be using the gate at the same time. I have just checked manchesterairport.co.uk though and it says its now levaing at 15:30 so shouldnt be a problem now

A380 x 2 and new Control Tower
It has never been 'chaos' when two A380s have departed close together, It happened only a week or so ago, and at least once before that. One uses Gate 12 as normal, and the other is parked at Stand 62 or 80 with passengers bussed out from Gate 20.
New ATC Tower - site preparation starts October and main build in the New Year. Some architect's renders have recently been released showing an imposing if unspectacular 60m structure, which now sports a sub-cab level for Apron Control and Fire Watch.

Wardair and Nationair used to pile way more people into a B747-100 than Emirates are carrying on their A380 hance MAN has been handling that volume by aircraft since the early 1970s. Perspective is a handy thing, prevents panic and internet over excitement. The main issue is that they have one dedicated gate so if you need them both leaving at the same time you need to bus.
