RE: Yet another Scotland Low Cost airline and many new scheduled airlines
yeah, me and Ren have mentioned air Scotland a couple of times already a month or two ago…
It’s owned by a tour operator, and is looking at being based out of EDI and PIK.
I gather it’s more aimed at flight only/all inclusive holidaymakers than lowcost travelers, though.
RE: WEBMASTER!!!
Andy, the checkbox isn’t in the login page, it’s in the options page. you need to click on ‘user options’ at the top of the screen to find it… can’t remember which heading it’s under, though, so you’ll need to look about.
RE: Superstition in airlines
I checked the SWISS timetable last night, they don’t have row 13 either. so far, the only airline I can find that I’ve flown in row 13 in is a UA 757.
RE: Who’s having login problems?
yes, normal service has resumed.

RE: Superstition in airlines
BA Concorde’s don’t have a row 13…
think there were some other BA a/c that didn’t, but haven’t deen cabin layouts for a while, so unsure…
But I have flown in row 13 before, think it was either a SWISS MD83, or possibly an Air France 737-500.
RE: HairStyler Fuel Cells
normally, the rules are dead simple… NO gas cannisters, full stop… dunno what the confusion was.

RE: Flightreport AMS ARN AMS with KL1109 and KL1114
wysiwyg, as I understand it, the safety demo is dependent on the country where the a/c is registered…
For example, I’ve mentioned before that Swiss aircraft (ie HB registered a/c, rather than the airline) never used to do lifevest demos, and was told that the BAZL (Bundesamt fuer Zivilluftfahrt – Swiss CAA) only required a lifejacket demo where the a/c was crossing a body of water within 10 minutes of takeoff.
Having said that, they did do a demo when I flew with them from LHR to BSL ten days ago, so maybe they are standardising procedures across europe. In fact, they even asked the pax at the overwing exits if they were happy to operate them just in case… haven’t seen that since flying domestically in the US with FAA regulations…
RE: Airbus Versus Boeing
I do think Boeing’s lost the plot… apart from the 777, they haven’t had a new design in 20 years… just evolutions of mainly 60’s aircraft.
Airbus, on the other hand, are consistently innovating, and with their family concept, they are definately better for airlines.
Basically, Boeing need to pull the finger out, and get some kind of cockpit commonality, as, at the moment, I believe the only models with commonality are the 757/767, which are probably the two worst selling designs anyway (dunno why, though… :S). I’m excluding the 717 from that, but even that’s based on the 60’s DC-9, and, frankly, I can’t abide the MD80 for cabin comfort, so why the 717 should be any better, I dunno…

RE: Emergency Landing of flybe 146. Serious Injurys
can’t find the article for the exact details, but there was a small report in tuesday’s Daily Record saying that a couple of edinburgh people had been arrested for being drunk on a charter flight from EDI to either Salzburg or Graz (can’t remember exactly), and that the crew, aware of the recent incident involving Ice enroute to Belfast, had made sure they were restrained for landing.
That was basically all it said, so I can’t tell you more.
And Ren, I’m aware of the Record boycott… I never bought it, I picked it up free at gate 19 at GLA on the shuttle to LHR.
