Whoa guys!

This is getting silly with handbags at 50 paces and peurile crap and rubbish!

It stops here or the thread and one or two of you will be history.

We are a tolerant mods normally but we are not going to accept slagging and abuse - or racist remarks.

Get a grip! NOW please.

AA&R mods

Well done Mod!!! Couldn't have put it better myself. (Always amazies me how a mod is just round the corner ready to pounce on the bad boys and girls in the play ground!!!)

I (And I think a lot of others) are fed up with the muck throwing....... As SLF it worries me a little that some of these folk are in charge of planes or generally looking after them. Hope they are more sensible in their day jobs ;-)

Lets try and get back on to the subject folks!!!!

Back to my earlier question, any idea why the GLA-SFB flight has ran so late, I see it departed GLA around 10pm

:-(

Not sure if related, but DUB-YYC-YVR is being operated today by the B752, with the BRS-YHM operating with a B738.

See my question on Bristol thread yesterday. The 737 operated a second departure to Toronto(YHM)from Bristol yesterday morning, it departed about an hour and a half after the first scheduled 757 (GSM 182) left,according to the mayfly it came in empty from Gla as GSM 180P and departed to YHM as GSM 181

Deek & Mr
Apologies for my inacurate post. After last set f shifts i was led to think that FG was very close to finishing its "C" check, and would therefore be ready.

MAbye jumped the gun a touch however want prepared for the back lash that followed, Mr, do you just log on here to shoot people down? this will certainly be the last post i put pn here, I love aviation and logged on here to talk to people with the same interest, To say i am dissapointed with the back stabbing by certain posters is an understatement.

Take it easy and fly safe ya all.

with you Globespaner
 

I too am sick of the back stabbing and the very apparent need some people seem to have to put GSM down. I can only assume that they wish the airline to fail.

Remember a lot of people read this forum, being that it is open to anyone and everyone. Spreading rumours and bad news is not big and is not clever. In the current climate we work, a show of support is what is needed. A lot of good men and woman have lost their jobs recently, many of us have friends effected by the loss of XL, zoom etc - turning the knife and willing GSM to go the same way is worrying to say the least.

I am glad thought that you are going to be disappointed as I believe that GSM will be around for a number of years and good luck to them. I have no desire to see any more friends in the industry out of work.

The only people doing Globespan down is GSM themselves. When they continue to operate 737s longhaul & substitute other aircraft or re-route flights on a regular basis , then the customer will decide GSM fate, not PPRUNERs.
I met people in Toronto a few weeks back from Bristol, they would have loved to travel direct from Bristol to Toronto. They had not heard of GSM so they looked them up on Skytrax, where real customers leave real feedback. They immediately booked Air Transat out of Birmingham.
When the Globespanners feel the need to report every on time departure on PPRUNE & then spit feathers at any GSM critisism, then I think its time this thread was wound up, IMHO.
I wish them all the best, but lets stop going around in circles.

CS you have been misinformed JO had twice been booked into ATC Southend but had to be cancelled firstly to support ops then secondly due to an AOG involving JM, the delay in originally fitting was that it was cheaper to have them fitted in UK with boeing paying it the winglets were stored in the ex MDs garden and had been badly corred and had to go to beagle aerospace in bournemouth for repair we further had to wait on long lead time spare parts and off course now with the summer schedule the time could not be found. The winglets are made by aero partners boeing in the USA and take roughly 3-4 days to fit along with software changes to the stab.
Hope this answers your questions.

Need we say more?

Not really I think I said it all, the winglets were in a terrible state with one in particular having been heavily corroded on both the leading edge and water damage to the internal composite material.

I ask again......What on earth is happening with GLA-SFB???

Come on please!! (Not a back stabber or someone who wants GSM to fail!!!!)

BFS
 

seems that the GLA-BFS-SFB wasnt cancelled at all
736P took off EDI at 5:03 PM and landed in BFS at 5:38 PM
and
735 took off BFS at 6:27 PM and landed in GLA at 7.00 PM

Dont know what plane was used but guessing it was a 737-800 was used.

A 767-300 took off from GLA 8:31 PM and should land in SFB at 11:57 PM

:}

Apologies, the B73H did not operate from DUB to Vancouver, it was YHM, and has operated back Tuesday to MAN. The B752 has operated from MAN to YHM Tuesday, and will operate back to GLA/LGW tonight. Not sure what they plan tomorrow

MAN/GLA/YYC/YVR/YYC/GLA/MAN
LGW/GLA/YHM/EDI

As to the EDI/BFS/GLA today it was B736 GCDKT as it was not booked anything from arrival at EDI from 1530 Tue until 0800 Wed

For all you spotters out there! :ok:

The numbers before the "P" of the outbound flight usually gives away the aircraft type!

Can someone shed some light on this for me?

I notice that there was a GSM flight out of GLA to Vancouver which was delayed :-(

But on the Glasgow AIrport website there are 3 flight numbers (GSM941, GSM 941C & GSM 961)

I assume that all these flight numbers are the same plane as they all left GLA at exactly the same time.

Can I ask why so many flight numbers for the same plane?

I know that some of the bigger carriers code share but never seen this like this before.

Sorry if this is a stupid question :-)

Why are GSM having to use 737's across the pond? Is there a problem with the 752 and 763's?

Gsm941/961
 

Dont know what the "C" was for but, having been on that flight, one is for the Calgary flight and the other is for Vancouver. It stops at Calgary on the way out and on the way back.

they combined two flights into one. man-yyc-yvr and gla-yyc-yvr so two different flight numbers, not sure about the 'c' one thou! maybe it was the flight number used for the passengers from manchester when they travelled man-gla on a 737 before ramp transfering?

Is there a problem with the B757/767?

YES!!! THEY DON'T HAVE ENOUGH OF THEM!!!!!!
:ok:

Pretty hopeful Flyglobespans on the way to profit this year!
Exclusive: Scots airline Flyglobespan on course for profit despite fuel price hike - The Daily Record

Also a mention of aquiring 1 or 2 a/c hopefully theres plans for a 757 and new 737NG or 2 737NGs which if they got i'd guess they would put one into MME.
