Cannot this not be the 'hand held' jobbies that some carriers use ???????? instead of a full IFE ?

I don't think it is a good idea for a longhaul. Anyway most probably we are just wasting the bandwidth here...

Will the worlds longest legroom accommodate the worlds longest legs?

Mogget, I didn't mean that my sarcasm was directed at spotting Tristars. I was being sarcastic because I thought we were discussing airline economics, not spotting. I am enthusiastic about aircraft, and I have nothing whatsoever against spotters. But I derive my satisfaction in this industry from bringing resources together - aircraft, engineers, air crew, ground crew, and clients - and making money by providing a quality product. Not by watching the RAF burn tax-payers money operating VC10s at a fully-allocated hourly cost that is twice that of a B747-400 in airline service.
Now there are ways of making money with old aircraft, but WhoFlu? needs one of those boringly efficient Boeing or Airbus long thin tubes with two engines if it is going to stand any chance whatsoever of making money. :ok:

They (Flywho) must have been reading the posts on here, it appears they are now looking at the B767-200 (again, hopefully not the Slovakian one that spent most of it's time on the ground at Brum!)

Time will tell!

.....and next week they'll be talking to Duxford about getting the VC10 airworthy again :eek:

Have I missed something or have they just got their AOC mail-order?

Anyone got a 747-100 in their back garden they could loan them for the summer? :p

I disagree that "Airlines, Airports, and Routes" automatically suggests that the thread is dedicated to professional discussion. However, I understand your decision to remove my posts, and will endeavour to stay on the other side of the fence in future.

Mogget.

You can disagree all you want. This forum is for the professional types and snippets that deal with arrival of a particular aircraft should be in Spotters. Like it loathe it that's where it goes.

As my colleague has said we do not have to time or patience to move all the threads that we consider are in the wrong place so they will get deleted.

You will also notice that I made it very clear that I understood the decision to remove my posts. Evileyes has been very courteous and respectful in his communication with me regarding this, and that is all that I ask of anyone.

Lasted rumour from a travel show at the weekend is a B762 with 230 ish seats now.................................................

All change! They must of contracted someone for this flying.....I find it very hard to see how as a Tour Op they are selling for a July start on such a route and have no acft contracted for this ???

A 762 with 230 seats - will that support their advertised layout?

A part bunch of retired school teachers with virtually no aviation experience! :(

Attended one of their 'Flyblu recruitment forums' some time ago and they were caught with their pants down big time by our ops staff when it came to the questions and answers stage. The Then CEO personally admitted that he knew very little about aviation :oh: (a former school headmaster if i remember?) but thought the idea was a fantastic opportunity that no other airline was doing. Full fare, yards of legroom, massive seats, all the frills etc to well off pax with second homes in Florida.
I can see his dream, out of London maybe? but setting up a new airline is little bit more involved than writing a letter to Jim L Fixit!

Flywho have currently got a 'display' including a few seats/cabin mock up on the 1st floor (opposite Burger King) in T1 at Birmingham. During the day there is a nice young lady there to answer questions & generally "sell" the concept to Joe Public

Hey...

Can you translate into English the following......

"Tuching down Rwy 33 after ILS LLZ only app......"

I guess you did this with a little "Cut and Paste" ??

I got excited this was the real thing for a min then!!!.....

Fw - were at the destination show in BHX and above is correct they have a stand at BHX T1 after the re-launch on the BHX website.....

Good luck to them.

Didn't I hear that some kid not long out of school set up an airline from his bedroom ?
