The Ryanair will they / won't they is an interesting one alright and I think cuthere might be near the mark.
I think at some point FR were bound to get onto the Belfast - London channel, tho logic might have suggested most likely from STN, as with the major Scottish routes, but this BA / EI takeover and slot process has intervened. If Ryan have the slots you'd think they'll have to launch Belfast Gatwick and it probably depends what their forward thinking is as to whether they choose BFS or go back into BHD.
Suspect it might well be a slow spool - perhaps only the one route to begin with to see how things shape up. But they do have a lot of aircraft on order and as a side point it sure won't have escaped their attention that having presence in BFS gives them a limited control valve on DUB which they don't have at the moment!

Am I having a senior moment or has this thread been moderated rather heavily? Looks like the Prune police have been called and have been busy! Either that or a few Walter Mitty types have decided to delete the incriminating evidence that was exposing their real persona....
At a risk of repeating myself, I would again say - not one poster on here knows for definite the plans of senior airline managers of any potential airline operating to either Aldergrove or Harbour.

Of course not - is that not the whole point of a rumour forum though?
If you were having a senior moment that makes a pleasant change from several rather immature moments you've been having recently with the utterly childless nature of your posts. Even owenc has clearly decided to take the high road in response to, what I can only describe as, bullying from people who should be above that. If he does in fact spend more than a financially responsible % of his salary/savings on air travel, so what? It's his hobby and people generally spend more than a sensible amount of their hobbies. Nice change from 19 year olds who spend practically all their money on leasing the newest VW Golf or souping up a 1996 Vauxhall Nova. How about you drop the snide remarks and treat people with some respect!

Benjyyy, respect is earned, it is not a right. As I said in a previous post before the mods arrived and got stuck in with the delete button, if it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck then theres a fair chance it is a duck! Owenc, in my humble opinion, is probably a spotter pretending to be a high flying business type. Is there anything intrinsically wrong with that? Not really, nobody is being harmed BUT personally I don't suffer fools. The review that he posted using frostyj was lamentable, it read as a Primary 7 childs report on a trip but still he persists he is globetrotting using business class on his many travels.
If my humour comes across as immature and childish to you then thats too bad, I (respectfully) suggest you pop down to B&Q and get yourself a large ladder and climb down from that high horse you're on.
Now back to the thread, whatever happened to those announcements that were happening some 48 hours ago?

So your studying Science at University, the other day you were telling everyone on here about owning your own business and spending £3000 this year on personal business trips!

Singling out people and cross examining them in the way that is going on here could be seen by the authorities as bullying. This behaviour IMO is an absolute disgrace. Whether it be grammar or age, folk who comment on other posters in the way that they are is very negative and they should know better.
Westbrit, would that be the same authorities who posted this thread?:

Post 19 in that is worth a read, and perhaps should be compulsory reading for some on this thread in particular. I assume it's something that passed you by.
As for singling out individuals. If someone goes out of their way to boast about their travels, then direct other readers to pieces they've written (terribly) on other forums, they set themselves up as recipients of a critique of both them and their posts. I totally agree that bullying should not be tolerated, but I don't see my criticisms as bullying.
Back on topic: I assume FR to BFS/BHD was cobblers?

Anyone else for the Outrage Bus? It's leaving soon from any of the Norn Iron airports!
To get back on topic, it does look like the rumours were a load of bolleaux. Pity in a way, it would certainly have given a bit of credibility to this site as a source of information rather than a spotters fantasy musings.
Now I'm off to book my business class ticket around the world, if only there was someone who could give me some advice....

Yea I heard that too. But BFS is meant to be in more advanced talks than BHD, but then KLM was meant to be in more advanced talks at BFS than BHD and look how that went!! So could definitely go anyway still.

Ah well keep the rumours coming.
Unless anybody is in the know and going by last weeks posts I doubt it, we will have to wait and see
Maybe Qatar......
