Nicola Sturgeon is indeed point scoring. Friend came in from BCN yesterday, only one hand wash in the whole terminal. Immigration indifferent but very impressed that she had filled in the form. The political rhetoric versus reality big chasm of course. But visibly gloating over England cheers the sheep up.
On a lighter note I'm operating an EDI-Palma flight on Saturday. The booked load is almost full for the way down so people do want to get away, even to Spain.
Have a good one, C172. I wasn’t going to reply to the usual snippy drivel. The ‘likes of me’ are entitled to my views which I believe resonates with half of Scotland anyway. The oh so tedious political and obvious point scoring is one thing but the complete disregard for the aviation and ancillary businesses is extremely depressing. The SG is economically illiterate and the livelihoods of the airport employees do not appear to feature or concern Sturgeon. I used to fly out of Edinburgh for years and I am gutted for my former colleagues ( orange and silvery red variety).
Cheers

[QUOTE=C172Navigator;10836391]I agree, Sturgeon is point scoring the entire time. She never has anything positive to say. Simply wants to create fear amongst the population then offer them a way out by wearing face masks and chanting how awful the real Government is.

What evidence to you have to say who is doing it right?
Just because it inconveniences your organisation or roster isn't evidence enough.
Florida had had 30,000 new cases in last 2 days.
On 12/07/20 Catalonia had 816 NEW covid cases
On 13/02020 Scotland had 6

At this time of year there would be, I think, nearly 20 flights a week from EDI to Palma. At present, just 2. So 90 % of the usual travellers are, wisely, staying home.

It seems Spain like UK has problem with consistent posting in a reliable place these new figures.
Alarming re Catalonia.

Odd that EDI only route to go down from widebody 763 to 738. Maybe the only destination within range. DY did it no bother. Suppose if having to be transferred to Mainline, even though a small narrowbody, it should have a variation of AC business class which might be a plus if any of the usual leisure pax fancy it.

Article also expects further changes to be announced so would not be supposed to see GLA change too, weirdly it still both Rouge 767and AC mainline 738m flights To EDI.

Air Canada used to fly St Johns to LHR In A320 before.
I suppose telling comfort factors will be in the seat pitch, not the size of the aircraft.
Great to see Turkish Airlines Istanbul upgraded to A321 a couple of times a week, others on B737
