Teesside & Newcastle Questions

Morning All! 🙂

Got a couple of questions so thought I’d post them in one thread….

1) MME has a JKK Palma flight on a Saturday. Is this a ‘w’ flight? I’m sure it has to be because it arrives at 13:00 and we have a JKK Alicante flight arriving at 16:30.

2) Spanair seems to be having major delays at Teesside; rarely does a flight seem to arrive on time. Can anyone shed any further light?

3) I’m flying with Helios out of NCL in a few weeks. I’ve been keeping track on the flights for a little while and these two seem to be experiencing significant delays. Over 2 hours late inot NCL on Saturday; 5 hours late into Luton today is just the tip of the iceberg. I know they only have 2 738s (the 1 733 being used for Greek flights) so spare capacity could be a problem if a plane goes tech. Does anyone have any experience with Helios or can maybe shed any light on the delays recently incurred?

Thanks all,
Pembo

yeah, he’s a TCX 757 first Officer, but like he says, this’ll be his last sortie, as he’s leaving Thomas Cook at the end of the Month and joining Virgin on the A340 fleet (which is the conversion course he alluded to…)

Sorry to minorly hijack this thread but I’m in the middle of doing 3 flights out of NCL at the moment. I did the Dalaman today, doing the Tenerife tomorrow (Tuesday) and the late Rhodes on Wednesday. Any chance someone can get some photos as I’ve only got one more 757 flight (back down at Gatwick) before I leave the company?

Sounds like your a Thomas Cook pilot, or Britannia, but that don’t matter, can you let the forum know when your due back into NCL and il try and get a photo and post it (thats if its on the weekend i do have a social life).

But if you cant give this kind of information i fully understand.

Wyiswig, what company do you work for? I’m guessing ti’s Britannia, if it is, my mate Daniel is at Newcastle Airport every day and takes photos, I’ll ask him now for you! http://gallery46145.fotopic.net Hope he helps.

Last trips to the traditional “Sun spots” hey mate! You’ll just have to get used to the differant lingos and currencies in further flung places now!

Sorry fella, got 12 hours shifts the rest of the week, or I’d have taken a drive down. 🙁

Have you tried looking on airliners.net or a similar site with your logbook in case someone has snapped you somewhere along the line ?
