    Nice to see the Dreamlifter at PIK! I did once see it whilst I was on the X77 bus to Ayr many weeks ago, it was a shame I could not have got off at PIK and watched her leave!! Does she come in often and if so is there a way of knowing before hand?

    I wonder how you make your airline visible – anyone know?

    Also, anyone know how to make/upload a logo?

    If I knew how to make my airline visible, it would be visible :p. Best you could do at the moment is to go to the “Overview” page then along the left hand side click on “Promote” then at the bottom of the page click on “Promote your Airline” then write an advert for your airline. This will then give you a link like the one I posted to post here, otherwise I have no idea!

    To make a logo is quite simple, first create the logo you want on MS paint and any drawing application including Photoshop, then upload it to imageshack. Then go to “Overview” and “Profile”. On the top right of your profile will be an empty box where your logo should be and it says “Change logo here”, click on it and you get a dialogue box, in the little box copy and paste the direct link to your picture and submit. You will then have to wait for it to be approved however as long as it is not pornographic or vulgar in any other way it will be accepted. The approval may come through in 10 mins it might be 5 hours, you will just have to wait

    Hello for anyone silly enough to want to buy shares in my fine airline here is a link that MAY allow you to do it as my friend (Heslop01) has told me I cannot be found on the stock market!

    http://apps.facebook.com/airline_manager/prom.php?p=256040

    If all goes to plan that should take you to a page about my airline where you can buy stocks!

    My finances did take a hit today as I have had to fork out roughly $180,000 in repairs today, my afternoon Belfast – Cork flight operated by a Dash-8 Q300 had a meeting with a bird on finals at Cork, $90,000 to repair the leading edge of the starboard wing, not to mention the delayed return flight! Then my Tu-334 (which will be replaced in a week’s time by an E195) had a power failure whilst at Luton about to depart back to Dublin for the night. another $90,000 to repair AND a 4 and a half hour delay to the flight going back whilst the lovely engineers searched for their Russian dictionaries:p:p!!

    Let’s hope for a better business day tomorrow, still hoping to take delivery of my first E195 (first of many), this weekend but finances will be tight!!

    Thanks EGPH, just what was called for.

    Sorry i am not very good at paraphrasing or explaining things. I can grasp an idea in my head OK but if I have to explain it someone else I make a dog’s dinner out of it! I would much rather show people a YouTube video of an idea than try and explain it myself 😮

    Right:

    The YouTube video alleges:

    WHO? The US government

    WHY? “The Project for a New American Century” – summarised it was a report thought up by a very right wing think tank. They said that to transform the US into a dominant force for the 21st Century it “will be a long process” and it will involve a “catastrophic and catalysing event – like Pearl Harbour”

    The video then goes on to explain that some of the proposals that same group asked for were granted:

    Abandon the Antiballistic Missile Treaty – It happened

    Establish more permanent US military bases overseas – new bases set up in Philippines, Georgia and plans for Iraq.

    If that is directed at me and my 9/11 rant, that’s what stopped me 100% believing that 9/11 was Bush’s idea!

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3JmXQ-z8S4&feature=related

    The first 3 minutes of this video addresses these questions though the explanation can be questioned.

    I am not trying to say that 9/11 WAS a conspiracy I was just presenting some of the hard to answer inconsistencies

    I do find conspiracy theories very interesting. Most of them are very convincing as those who have put them together have though of every detail and got an answer to them, no matter what you throw at them they have a story to counter it.

    As an aviation enthusiast I have seen many YouTube vids of the 9/11 conspiracy theories, I admit I find them very convincing indeed. The only 3 steel structured buildings to collapse due to fire EVER all fell on the same day, in the same city and all at free fall speed, meaning there was no resistance at all to the collapse. Also, the most watched building in all of the US is the Pentagon, however none of the CCTV cameras picked up a huge 757 blowing a hole in the side of the building! Also I hope some would agree here, any pilot capable of flying a fully loaded B752 into the Pentagon and scoring a direct hit, is a ruddy good pilot!!

    As for the Titanic, I have never really researched conspiracy theories into that but I may read them soon, all riveting stuff!!

    You would have to be mad to turn down a flight on the new Queen of the Skies (the A340-600) ;):p

    Aer Eireann route and fleet detail

    BHD – ALC – Fokker 70
    BHD – EDI – ” “
    BHD – ORK- DHC8-Q200
    DUB – LTN – TU334-200:o (It was cheap OK guys):cool:
    DUB – LPL – ATR42 -500 (to be scrapped as of Sunday 31/01/10, a/c redeployed to BHD – LCY service)
    LDY – GLA Do328

    All flights run 3x a day atm with the exception of BHD – ALC thats 2x daily

    Plans for the future:

    * Buy E195LRs and deploy them on routes from BHD/DUB to destinations on the Iberian Peninsula as well as the Balearics. Also replacing the F70 on the BHD-ALC route and DUB-LTN route with E195LRs

    * Upgrade my ATR fleet to the new greener ATR72 600 series on flights BHD/DUB-LCY as well as re-establishing the lost DUB-LPL route

    * Next stage is to purchase 737-700s and fly them from DUB/BHD to the Canaries and Cyprus and perhaps Malta.

    * Purchase an A318 to be based at BHD and fly it to JFK non stop every day. Then purchase a collection of B757-200s for both hubs to JFK, BOS, IAD, CLE and YYZ. (moving to BFS instead of BHD due to small runway issues)

    * Purchase a collection of 787-8s for DUB base only to west coast USA destinations and LAS, including an unprecedented, DUB-HNL route.

    * After that knock on O’Leary’s door and call him a novice, EU centric small timer!
