RE: Channel Island services
Well i believe someone was over here in GCI from BA but it was not to tell the GTA that the ae stopping LGW flights as the Guernsey evening post had reported.
Anyway some other C.I news is that Tyrolean are to introducea summer charter to Vienna using CRJ’s from JER,also Braathens will start there charters again from oslo and bergan using 737-5000/800’s.VLM would serve Muchengladbach,Antwerp,London city,Humberside,Rotterdam,Hannover and it is rumoured that Munich may be another destination served this year.All flighs willgo via GCI except LCY.
RE: Airport in the Sea
Building an airport for holland in the norh sea would not be a good idea!The north sea is battered by high winds every year and is hit by fog alot which would not be good for getting flights in and out.
Also,you have a risk of the airport sinking,at the moment the weight of Chek Lap Kok is gradually making it sink into the sea!
RE: First MyTravel Aircraft painted
I like this livery unlike many charter airlines such as Britannia,its lively,fun and colourful which in my opinion is what acharter airline is about.The c/s looks very nice on the A320,can’t wait to see it at LGW when i’m there in the summer!
Wreckage found
The wrekage of the aircraft has been found,no confirmation if there are any survivors but its very unlikely.More at Yahoo news:

RE: Ecuadorean Boeing 720-100
[updated:LAST EDITED ON 28-01-02 AT 07:20 PM (GMT)]Any chance it could of been shot down by the colombian army or rebel forces as i know ther is a lot of tension around the boarder area?just a thought.Its a terrible loss for TAME,another 727 crashed near Bogota in 1998.Extremely bad news.
At an Airline Ticket Counter-joke (not rude)
It was a typically busy, crowded, chaotic Friday before a bank holiday at the Heathrow.Travelers, friends, relatives, airport personnel, pilots, flight attendants, the handicapped and infirm being transported through the throngs of shoulder to shoulder people.
At one of the packed, British Airways ticket counters all of the ticket agents were doing their best to politely process each passenger as quickly as they could. A man toward the end of the snaking line of passengers was obviously impatient and very frustrated at having to wait so long in the slow moving line. He finally decided to march right up to the counter pulling his wheeled suitcase and demanded that he be given his boarding pass. The ticket agent turned, looked at him, blinked, took a shallow, deep breath and said, “Sir, as you can see there are many passengers ahead of you. We are doing our best to process the passengers as fast as we can. I’m afraid you’ll have to get back in line”. Outraged and red in the face, the man yelled at the ticket agent saying, “Do you know who I am ???!!!.” The ticket agent turned, looked at him, blinked, took another shallow, deep breath, picked up the public address system microphone and said calmly, “There is a man at the British Airways ticket counter who does not know who he is. Anyone who may be able to identify this man is asked to please step forward and identify him. Thank you”.
Not as funny as my last one,but pretty good!
RE: Airport pic of the day-28/01/02
Yes it is GZYL.Now i can’t believe this,if you look at the photos at Delhi on A.net you will notice there are around 3pages of them,now if i am right photography at indian airports is illegal?
RE: Channel Island services
Heres some GCI news,it is rumoured that tomorrow (29/01/02)BA are coming over to GCI to meet the GTA (Guernsey transport authority)to tell them that they will be ending the LGW-GCI flights,if that happens i will be totaly anti BA,more than i am now!
Anyway keep you posted,Liverpool airport looks very modern!
RE: KLM NEW LIVERY
I like the 3rd one,looks a bit like a whale!
RE: The new livery-can it get any worse?
Below is a link to a site which shows the bmibaby livery,can it really get any worse?Funny thing is that the picture shows a 737 which is the aircraft they will operate,but G-MIDF is an A321!!!

RE: Another joke,a bit rude!
Ok this is quite funny,but by posting this i do not mean to offend anyone,if i do i am very sorry!!!
The plane’s cabin was being served by a gay flight attendant who was obviously enjoying himself. He came swishing down the aisle and said through the PA, “Captain Marvey has asked me to announce that he’ll be landing the big scary plane shortly, lovely people. So, if you could just put up your trays that would be super.”
On his trip back up the aisle, he noticed that a woman hadn’t moved a muscle. “Perhaps you didn’t hear me over those big brute engines. I asked you to raise your trazy-poo so the main man can pitty-pat us on the ground.”
She calmly turned her head and said, “In my country, I am called a Princess. I take orders from no one.”
“Well, sweet-cheeks, in my country, I’m called a Queen, so I outrank you. Put the tray up, Bitch.”
Hahahaha,i nearly cryed with laughter when i read that,is it just me or do i have a sad sense of humour??
RE: Channel Island services
[updated:LAST EDITED ON 27-01-02 AT 00:09 AM (GMT)]Yup,Corbiere lighthouse is on the southwestern tip of jersey,down near st Ouens bay.
Also,you do not have a hope in hell of Easyjet or Ryanair operating into Jersey as the landing fees are to high,which is a real pity as people want low prices,but the local states,or if you like ‘county council’are not doing a thing about lowing them.
Theres a picture of Corbiere lighthouse as well.

RE: Fish
[updated:LAST EDITED ON 26-01-02 AT 03:51 PM (GMT)]Very funny!Here is one of mine:
Heard during a passenger briefing prior to departure,
“There may be 50 ways to leave your lover, but there are only 4 ways out of this aeroplane…”
And, after landing,
“Thank you for flying British Airways.We hope you enjoyed giving us the business as much as we enjoyed taking you for a ride.”
HAHAHA
