FlyGlobespan… the beginning of the end??

I meant off topic :p

My Bad! 😮

Personally I don’t see it as being ‘over the top’ after all safety should be everyone’s main priority.
Somebody can correct me if I am wrong, but I think you’ll find that GSM are the first UK airline to have their ETOPS licence suspended/removed by the CAA 🙂

“The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) said it is the first time in 15 years a UK operator has lost ETOPS approval.”

bbc.co.uk

So has it only been going 15 years then?

Adam,
I think he meant Slightly Off-Topic, not Over the top.

Start of the end? Maybe, but many would have spoke highly of them when they were smaller and stuck to European flights. Sad that it was ruined.

Some of there 737s are brand new. There 767s i think are about 15 years old.

Slightly OT but who was the last UK based airline to lose there ETOPS licence?

I have read some very disturbing stuff on cabincrew.com about GSM. Any airline whos mechanics have nicknamed its own aircraft (757s) as Fireball 1 and 2 needs to take a long look at itself.

My two local airports (LPL and MAN) have both suffered at the hands of GSM, so dont get your hpos up at EME. The JFK/LPL route was a farce, one week the route didnt operate for 4 days. GSM left its pax stranded and did nothing at all to help them. When GSM pull out of LPL the airport will breathe a huge sigh of relief as GSM have been an embarassment. The direct LPL-JFK daily service for example turned out to be a 4 weekly 737 via Connaught and Canada, sometimes with Keflavik thrown in too!

Bye Bye GSM, dont come back.

How old is there fleet etc? Does it cover not having enough staff to deal with the maintenance for example etc?

There is something Very fishy going on at this company i hope they get to the bottom of it. MME for example is putting all its hopes on GSM for next summer it would be a huge let down for them if they were to go out of Buesiness.
