Out of interest, what's the difference between the Chatham Dockyard livery and the current one?

Red faces not red noses at BA

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-47691478 ACMI lease from WDL aviation Gmbh of DE. (146??) - nice views lol Still nice load of EU compo 361 - This is def not extraordinary circumstances - its a stuff up. Worst we ever did at BMA LHR was MME bags put on the LPL and LPL bags on the MME 2 x DC-9's parked next to each other I think we did it at JER as well - wrong bags and pax on wrong a/c but don't think pax ever ended up in wrong place |
I'm surprised the crew didn't know their north' from their 'east' by looking at the compass. I'm even more surprised that air traffic didn't say 'oi you're going the wrong way to DUS'
So will every passenger who boards a BA flight ask if they knoiw where they are going? |
As per the Daily Fail:
At no time has the safety of passengers been compromised. We flew the five passengers on the flight with number BA3271 to Düsseldorf after the involuntary stopover in Edinburgh.' |

It would appear that a flight plan was filed and correctly flown from LCY to EDI, the fact that the aircraft was scheduled to fly to Germany is a question for operations and whoever filed the plan. I would imagine the despatcher also has some questions to answer, as every boarding card would have disagreed with the destination, the fuel planned, the alternates etc.
Most of us on here know better than to suggest they got "lost". There was an NWA DC10 filed to, and landed at BRU a few years back, which should have gone to FRA....... |

PIC and FO had a flight plan for EDI? So they flew to EDI because that was where they were told to go.

If the other flights were as busy as the flight in question (five pax!!!) that will be pocket money.

Nothing to do with ATC, they got them to EDI as per the flight plan.

Like all good news stories I think there is probably more to this story than simply put forward in the press.

PLF low

Not unlikely that non of the five pax had sufficient geography skills to raise an alarm, given the totay lack of orientation of the majority of folks without a sat-nav nowadays. |

So they take a 96-seater fourjet to fly 5 passengers somewhere. 91 empty seats. Does this make profit?

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...-Scotland.html This is because there was 61 passengers and 5 crew onboard. |
Indeed. The Daily Mail initially provided a quote mentioning five passengers, but has since removed the figure. I posted that older quote in this thread. Pictures taken onboard the aircraft show a rather busy cabin.
You can still read the older version of the article on this copycat site: https://www.habaritoday.online/2019/...-to-edinburgh/ |
Got to laugh. Reading this thread and right in the middle is a pop up advert for Specsavers. Maybe someone should have gone to.......... |
How many 77Ws are BA still to recieve? There seems to be an order for 4 in the works with Boeing, but there was also talk of them taking 3 second hand ones to replace the ZZZ airframes...anyone confirm anything?
