Being honest, any employer who thinks you can book a holiday two years in advance, or at least know the dates, and expect the employees to give a firm notice of this, isn't an employer I wish to know. It's the employer asking an employee to inform them how long they wish to live for. Or to give dates for funerals in advance.
HI all and AER RYAN.
The holiday diary opens in april 16 for 2017 but via previous years its advised that all holidays dates are booked at least 1 year to be sure to get the dates that we wish and its a well known supermarket chain my fiancee works for but its mainly to make sure we both get the same dates approved for a holiday/s

It's crazy that some employers expect their staff to plan their lives around their jobs to that extent. I have 12 days leave still to take between now and the end of January 2016 that I haven't booked in yet. I'll start to think about 2017 leave in about 14 months time!
Back on topic it's very difficult to make plans to Turkey of all places that far in advance. One Tunisia style event could change everything in terms of their tourism industry.

Kinocker and all,
I agree with what you say but with security in turkey i feel the steps that have been taken are stronger than before people forget that they have a 500,000 army,300,000 airforce and navy
And also conscripts
But back on subject scotland is loosing turkey flights slowly altho it is popular if you look at caa figures and bodrum is the main one they are dropping like tom and tcx none from.gla now only ezy from edi and that is why we need to make sure we can book dates before ezy release in sept 16
accom is really cheap but good quality .
The ezy bjv route from edi has been great on pax figures of.2880 to.3,090 per month on 2 flights a week so an av of about 160/175 per flight id say very popular even more so id say in 16 due to lack of seats available if you look at seat res for may over 30 per flight in 1month on sale.
Hope it helps understand why it is important.

QR had a 67% load factor last month. EY's as a comparison was 75%.
They are changing their flight times in the summer to improve connectivity with the new Australian services. As a result, flights on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays will now depart at 08:30 with flights on the other days departing at 16:25.

presumably average running a third empty means any upgauge is a bit off? With all the deliveries i presume the relative aircraft shortage surmised at EY as a theory for frequency reductions is no longer relevent?

I don't think EY have taken many new deliveries of 787s yet and they certainly don't have any A350s yet therefore I believe the aircraft shortage is still the reason why numerous routes have had frequency reductions.
I think QR will remain at one daily for some time but the variances in the departure times on various days is a good way of maximising connections.
EY and QR have far more to compete with at EDI than EK does at GLA for instance so we really shouldn't be expecting 100% loads all the time. These loads particularly on an efficient 787 along with the decent levels of cargo being carried are not a disaster by any means IMHO. But others may disagree.

It just seems odd that EDI is being used as the litmus test for Belfast and Bristol... but a 67% load factor after so many months of operation doesnt seem like the best platform on which to base further growth at smaller airports!

well Qatar launch out of BHX 8x weekly in March. Will be interesting to see how that is received as the scale of BHX is a lot more comparable to EDI than the likes of MAN and LHR. Reports suggest seats are selling well but early days yet.
What I do find interesting in this article is the idea of Qatar being the first of the MEB3 into an airport. Historically, emirates have been the pioneer into a market and Qatar/Etihad followed (in this regard I consider Scotland a market, similarly London instead of GLA vs EDI and LGW vs LHR). However, emirates have not been tempted into the likes of BRS/CWL/BHD so will be interesting to see what Qatar see that Emirates haven't... I suspect the Qatars fleet is a little more flexible than Emirates...

Spoke to a 777 skipper before, he said with a full hold the cabin only needs to be about 50% full to make money.
777 takes considerably more cargo than any other pax aircraft, including 747 or A380, so it's rather unique in that ability.

That would depend a great deal on the yield the cargo is making. As a general rule you wouldn't expect flightdeck crew to have that sort of knowledge, in the same way that yield managers aren't often that capable of flying 777s!

EI are to resume daily flights to SNN from March next year.
The DL service to JFK is showing as bookable in November perhaps suggesting that the service will be year-round rather than seasonal.
