Anyway plan of FR moving to T3 anytime soon?

Also, what about the charters in T1? Will TCX be moving over shortly? Will MON go to T2 and ZB T3 or will they both go to T2?:confused::confused::confused:

mufc4evr - to answer your question regarding Fedex. They're sick and tired of all the militant workers there, enginering and ground ops especially, whose only purpose in life is to cause misery to airlines and passengers :eek:

Fighting talk, indeed, and quite the Pandora's box you've opened.

Care to elaborate?

TCX will not be moving over shortly or in the future.

No not really, it should be quite well known that the MAN base in general has more than its fair share of militant employees, notably by factions still present from the 1980's who, seem to infiltrate and manipulate the most recent, modern and entusiastic airlines. I speak from personal experience of this since the days of Dan-Air where martyrdom was rife and has weedled its way into current times and airport operations.

I thought it was going to be:

T1 Scheduled
T2 Charter
T4 LCC?

thats the five years master plan, btw CSA to pull from man in october.

i though this thread is about "manchester news", must be wrong....

When did you hear this.

I am based at Man on that fleet and the last I heard about 3 weeks ago is that there is going to be 2 300's and 3 800's. 5 737'2 in total. Heard it from our engineers who were told this last month.

Would like to know when and where you heard different

Rob

CSA have let us known they are pulling out.

in regards to the TOM 733's, i heard this last week from a tom rep i was speaking too. She said they'll be rendered useless when the merger fully comes into force????. she also said theyre spreading them out over the rest of the TOM network.

ill try and get futher info for you.

Hi. I read that PIA once applied for fifth freedoms to sell JFK tickets from Manchester is that right?

http://www.caa.co.uk/docs/589/Region...casestudy7.pdf

How did they get on, anyone know?

im sure you can buy tickets for MAN-JFK with PIA but only through travel agencies though?

You wouldn't happen to know where I can get on one? I'd love to use them

CSA
 

They aren't pulling out , but reducing to 7 per week. No flight on Saturday and 2 on Thursday, according to their website.

The airport will shut for 15 minutes on the nearest two Saturdays to November 5 so families living nearby can hold their annual displays !

hamburg international to base 2 a319 for the winter season

G-STAW

AF is, according to one periodical, going to use EMB195s on AF2568/AF2569 from the winter timetable, and from March replacing an A320 with an A321 on the "mid-morning" flight. THe only mid-morning AF flighit I can remember was the discontinued AF1968/AF1969, so perhaps they mean AF1668/AF1669 which may be retimed slightly?

SkyEurope is expected to keep their Kosice run at 3 a week during the winter.

Hamburg International
 

What are these two A319's going to be doing over the winter months

And is there any chance you can tell me the name of this TOM rep

I know nothing more than that, soon as i get more info on this ill let you know.

Dont know her name, i wouldnt post it on here anyway, but she origionally worked for FCA, shes a duty manager now

G-STAW

Not happy reading!!
 

And these miserable passengers that you speak of would be Fedex passengers, would they? :suspect:

the biggest amout of crap posted in a long time, if you dont know the real reason, then leave it out, its not nessescary.

BTW theres alot of people who are on here in ground ops, and engineers for that matter, and they do a fantastic job, its the small amount of idiots that bring their title down.

G-STAW

I agree entirley G-STAW. Part of my original quote is below and like you said it is the minority that always spoil for the rest. It is my understanding that Flybe are suffering with the militancy of engineers, flight and cabin crew who may i add are ex BA and originated from Dan Air. It is these martyrs that spoil it for the rest, as an example.

Hamburg Intl & CSA
 

Hello,

In regards to Hamburg International basing two A319's at MAN. They are picking up the old AEU program by looks of it by doing BJL and SID routes.

And CSA are diffinatly stopping for the winter, they have been pondering handling contracts mind, but yes they are deffinatly staying for now.

CSA

Make your mind up !!
At the moment CSA bookable on line right through the winter.

hey,

dont blame me, CSA sent a letter of intent at the end of last month, but have withdrawn it. welcome to the aviation industry! :}

G-STAW

It's obvious here at Manchester that Flight Support may be in the s:mad:t.

Constantly asking for the use of other companies equipment, their equipment is never working. I understand they had only two servicable baggage belts the other day. They even had difficulty getting credit to CAP one of their cars. Not a good situation if you ask me. Plus there is rumours of VLM dropping aircraft and crew and Flybe seem to have dropped their amount of flights. Will Mr Turner be dropping Flight Support as a bad investment and moving on?

Staff moral seems very low, especially as staff haven't had a pay rise in years! Come on Flight Support, look after your staff

and then


G-STAW

So who else is to blame when YOU come out with the statement at the top which is totally and DEFINITELY contradictory? You say they are stopping and then in the next breath you say they are staying :ugh:

Re:G-STAW

Hey come on you guys........

Its usually me who pulls the wings off of this geezer!!

ha ha

MM

By stopping for the winter, he doesn't mean STOPPING the schedule, he means stopping as in not going anywhere.

Atleast that is how I see it.

I think by stopping he means not going anywhere as in i will be "stopping in tonight"

Not difficult really ...

Finally some guys talking sense....

I first said CSA are pulling out on the 25/08, then i got told they have withdrawn there intention so i posted this on 27/08. thats 2 whole days, it wasnt straight after eachother like you said! not sure if you know but things change very fast in this industry...


please refrain from making childish comments, i know this forum is awash with people like you.....

G-STAW

all people do on these threads is argue :confused::bored:

Oh no they don't. :\

Onur what is wrong with there Dalman flights recently. A friend of mine went out on the 1030 DLM service yesterday and she was delayed till quarter past five. Today the flight is even worse and is delayed till nine o'clock tonight.

And also what operated the 1030 DLM service yesterday could it off been a A300 that went tech in DLM

G-STAW

So im following the logic of your response and will
now wait till the 29/8 - to give you enough time to
change your mind again.

Is that okay?

PS. I always find that rumours where the poster is
right at the heart of service decisions can sometimes
lead to false/inacurate/wide-boy opinions passing
as 'gospel' - namely your posts.

PPS. It must be a challenge having everybody running up to
you and telling you their airlines latest news - how do you
cope?

MM
