    not sure whether or not anyones interested but i have a few 1/500 Herpa models that I wouldnt mind getting rid of to be honest. thought about ebaying them but would rather give some of you guys first refusal.

    I’m gonna have to double check but off the top of my head i have:

    Nordic European L1011
    British Airways o/c 734
    British Airways o/c 763
    Eva Air 744
    Egypt Air 772

    plus a few others!

    yeh i agree with all of the above comments having fwon with Ryanair from Stansted to Strasbourg in April last year. the terminal itself is light and airy thus bringing a pleasant atmposphere to staff and passengers. check-in is designed being efficient and effective for the lo-co flights and it had a pretty reasonable shopping area (although the Dixons store wouldnt let me have my discount I’m entitled to 😮 ).

    my only grumble though was the time taken to pass through the one security point that existed – a whopping 40 minutes! is anyone at liberty to say whether or not BAA have the situation rectified??

    cheers,

    [i] A levels don’t hold much value apart from university enterance requirements and a few jobs. Within the airline industry your grades at your ATPL (bearing in mind that you must have got into flight school first) are what the airlines will look out.[/B]

    wow!!! don’t agree with the first bit mate, not at all!

    If A levels didnt hold much value apart from going to university and getting a few jobs then why do so many stay on at colleges and sixth forms the country over? Similarly, why are vocational course qualifications now classed as being multi-alevel grade equivalents when heading off to the likes of UCAS and onto CV’s?

    Having just got 5 AS grades under my belt in the summer, albeit one of them a General Studies grade, I’ve felt i’ve had to let several opportunites pass me by. They might have sounded good for the present but thinking 10 or 20 years down the line I know i’d have wished I’d finished the A levels i’d started.

    Ofcourse if you feel like you don’t want to complete them, what can i do or say!? just make sure you think about every option, bearing in mind you have 3 half a-levels under your belt mate! :rolleyes:

    without wanting to sound cold and heartless, i believe that minute silences and rememberence parades or whatever shouldn’t go ahead. for one; life is too short and for two; if one attrocity is remembered in such a fashion then shudn’t they all?

    what happened that day was shocking and distressing to hundereds of millions if not billions of people world-fold but terrorism takes many forms and not all acts, like this one, are condemned and remembered.

    Enough said.

    I think I heard this on airliners.net a few weeks ago, the conclusion being that the name change was a red herring.

    From what I remember reading Air 2000, or should i say its parent company First Choice have decided that the airline should retain its already well known brand and name. Something which will be very useful i’m sure if they take steps like Monarch offering low fares to sunspots where they also operate charters to.

    Old, established names are nearly always kept. Take the charter airline industry as it is now for example, Britannia owners TUI decided to do a livery change but retain the name after an extremely long spell. On a different note, JMC wasnt such a well-known established name so the decision will most probably have been made to change to Thomas Cook sooner rather than later. Evidence also in the fact that Thomas Cook Germany’s fleet is “powered by Condor”.

    make sense!?!? lol
