NO - Low density 330!

Changing the a/c type for one off's would take a bit planning and cost alot of money as the crews night stop and operate the next days DXB. Hence if Sat had been a 777 where would the return crew come from! They would have to dead head two crews to/from costing money!

Jet2
 

Was there talk on here a while ago that Jet2 were to drop the number of based aircraft for NCL? Looking at their timetable they require 3 aircraft most days, with alot of downtime, but did they have 4 last year or more?

Vewing facility petition
 

I noticed a petition on another forum aimed at NIA regarding viewing facilities (the lack of), a good idea, but I still doubt anything will be done.

How are the queues at passport control these days? After a string of terrible flights my recent ones with easyjet were faultless(apart from extra-paying speedy boarders-not me- being on the same bus as group As at the other airport) but did I miss them or are there really no toilets in between getting off the plane and the luggage hall? I can't imagine that going down well with pax who get off a long flight needing to go and are faced with the recent passport queues.

Today was the first day of the really busy season, with all the extra charter flights starting, however some of the inbounds were or are empty for the next few days so the queues may not appear for a week or so yet. It all depends on how many land together, how many border control officers are on duty and of course whether or not it is an EU or non EU arrival?!

It was ok yesterday, 4 people on duty, but no other flights in. I'm amazed there are no loos.
I can't blame NCL for all the security delays. It doesn't matter how many announcements they make to the queue about getting ready for the machine, people still do nothing until they get there and start rummaging through their bags and pockets. Of course, they could have more than 2 machines going when the queue is snaking back for quite some distance.

I believe the lack of toilets before passport control is so there is noway of anyone trying to hide and then sneak through later.

I'm glad other airports don't think like that! OK if you know in advance but lots won't.

How have the first few days of the summer schedules gone at NCL, particularly the departure of the first batch of long haul charters? It is nice to see a wider network of routes to long haul charter destinations, hopefully the loads will be high and hopefully ensuring their continuation!

Company Structure
 

I believe that the fall out from the DfT security shut down mentioned earlier has claimed an innocent victim in the shape of the nice (ex) Security Compliance manager who was asked to fall on his sword over the matter. But when he refused, was sacked for gross misconduct. Was the drunken molester behind this obvious stitch up as well? - Discuss.

Surely its up to the Security Manager to make sure the Dft don't shut it down(!)

you keep believing then Brad :ugh::ugh: .

Are you claiming that it isn't true then? You know he may be coming back to haunt us in a more official guise soon, dont you? Best get the house in order quickly to avoid a repetition. A summer shut down is going to have a lot more of an effect on everyone than a winter one. A scorned poacher turned gamekeeper with a score to settle is something to be feared surely?:eek:

I hear the BA 757 Open Skies aircraft dropped in for a visit today ;).

Been Line Training - Empty!!! :eek: Very Nice :ok:

BE,EZY,LS and FR
 

Anybody know why there is a delay in launching the winter flights im sure that by this time last year they were on sale?

Wouldnt mind catching that Openskies BA up here - anyone 'in the know' able to offer any information on when it will be up here again?

Cheers

Flybe's is the same each year, try checking their website end of May beginning of June. Not sure about the others though.

Thomson Tenerife
