And with BREXIT, many valued and experienced staff will have gone home and are very unlikely to return with the hostile environment that seems to be the current government's main obsession.
TUI has issued a warning to passengers about its food service over the coming days. In a statement, the holiday firm said there will be 'no hot and cold meals or sandwiches' available on board its short and mid-haul flights.
"We can confirm that unfortunately due to staff shortages with our catering supplier, there will be no hot and cold meals or sandwiches, and a limited offering of snacks and drinks, available onboard TUI Airways short- and mid-haul flights over the coming days. This will impact flights from the following airports: Birmingham, Bristol, Cardiff, Doncaster Sheffield, Dublin, East Midlands, Edinburgh, Exeter, Glasgow, Humberside, Leeds Bradford, Luton, Norwich and Teesside.

What you’re conveniently overlooking (in order to place all blame on Brexit) is the unfortunate reality of Covid-19 which effectively shut down the majority of our airports business for two years. UK and EU workers alike faced redundancy, though alternative employment opportunities did arise in a number of other sectors. Sectors offering more stability and often more sociable hours than aviation. Why would they ditch those new jobs and return to 3am starts in the volatile world of commercial aviation at close to minimum wage? This is the real problem, but some prefer to blame Brexit for every challenge which arises.

Are TUI / 6Y having a bit of trouble with the ACMI cover up in DSA? Seems that ES-SAM is consistently late off the blocks. Sometimes it's marginal but there are song long delays in there for pax. Or is this issues at DSA and the start of the season?

Smartlynx have had a few delays in previous years when Thomas Cook used to lease them.

Any ideas about what happened to the Man-Melbourne flight yesterday? The airframe they eventually used flew from Birmingham to Newcastle, before positioning again to Manchester... Left about 8 hours late.

Before anyone laughs, this was exactly what happened on a US carrier, actually out of Gatwick, when there was a sudden caterers' strike some years ago. Apologies at check-in, but loads of interesting things loaded on board. Something tells me that "budgets" has got in the way of being proactive.
And I can't see Jet2 just standing idly by while their contracted caterers let them down. Can you ?
