highwideandugly

My contact tells me 14 passengers were on the flight that returned. The return leg had only 3 booked, but was cancelled.

Just doing some maths on the back of a fag packet. When I drove trucks with refrigerated trailers, payload would be anything from 5 ton (for light stuff, such as cress, salad, etc), to around 26 ton...

Sort of. You can only have what’s known as a “reduced weekly rest” in a truck (more than 24 hours rest, but less than 45 hours in between weekly shifts). However, this must be at an established truck...

Bonway

This is what I’m doing. However, be careful what you expect with regards to being home most nights. I find it’s easy to slip into just going away for long periods. Life seems simpler.

I would say an airline average of around 20%. However, this is just me eyeballing. But depends on destination, and this is on a massively reduced schedule of around 40% of last year’s capacity. I...

It may have changed amongst all this, but it was just one big pool for the entire Wizz group. They had bases which they claimed were “impossible to get” (Luton, Budapest, Warsaw and Vienna), and you...

I can’t help but feel pessimistic for the future of Loganair. My gut feeling is that the Bonds will be waiting to see if they get a government bailout. If not, I can see them busting the entire...

The codeshares aren’t daft, they’ll have contingency plans. I know for a fact Loganair have, and have had a contingency plan for flyBe before even flyBMI went bust over a year ago.

A Financial Times piece says flyBe could go into administration “as early” as 9pm.

Furthermore to that, an MP has just tweeted that something is on the cards for tonight.

I didn’t hear of any new bases planned at the moment. Not in Western Europe.

Expansion in the UK was hinted with new bases, but only when there was more certainty about Brexit.
