Just been too busy trying to get crews to operate night stops on their days off! It's been one of those weeks! But then again, isn't it always?

Yes....... there is many of us with uncertain futures as the airline melt down begins. The effects of travel through the Middle East are only just beginning.
Lets just hope that there is a sensible outcome to this whole ugly world wide affair.
Fingers crossed.....and hanging on!!!!!!!!

Really busy to dispatch what I had available across the pond to YUL and YQX, first time ever that no NAT Tracks were published by the way. Seems that the Bizz jets operators are the only ones in the business making money these days. Well we still have a Falcon grounded in BOS, only because we are what they call a PART-96 operator, can you believe this? :eek:

I feel for all at VS HQ @ LGW.
This is not a good time, I heard from CAA stats that the industry as a whole is losing 12bn pounds a week at the moment...
Hang on in there guys..

Things seem to be getting better....
Last week a nightmare at MAN, 2 hr delays on all flights due additional security.
Ground handling has suffered badly and thankfully airlines have been praising the staff, some of whom have worked very very hard.
Thanks to all involved. Lets hope that we can all pull through this.
Good luck everyone and keep smiling :D :D
Cannot imagine for one moment what it has been like for all our friends and collegues in the US over the last week and a bit.
I'm sure I speak for all ops, dispatch,crewing/scheduling folks in the UK and Europe that we wish all our American friends all the best wishes in the world.
