RE: “Nude” Flight

T5, the tea and coffee idea was on my mind to. In bad turbulance, one unfortunate move could result in a very messy situation…

Along with another 1000 places Keltic…life is sadly too short to take in all the world’s prized destinations!

RE: Flight report BA8077 LGW-NCL

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 20-01-03 AT 06:55 PM (GMT)]Based on your opinions Wysiwyg, I shall start taking Flybe….

Well I can’t complain about the ‘all day deli’, as it has been tasty enough and was a lot more than I had experienced before on any BA domestic flight.
However, I would prefer a proper cup of tea served in a proper cup (those polystyrene cups are awful). I don’t like the idea of the bags as they seem quite hostile and when the cabin crew give them out it seems like they shove it in your face which gives me a this or nothing feeling, compared to a nice laid out tray where everything is visible. Overall it seems a bit too American orientated to me.

RE: 737 Family

Boeing is unlikely to go bankrupt, I don’t know how you could think of such an idea. They are currently in a position where they do not know what to do next because of world economies, turmoil in the aviation industry and the status of Airbus. For many years Boeing could sit back and watch the orders roll in but now because of competition, they are no longer an airlines number 1 choice and Boeing has to slowly adapt to this new reality.As Kabir said, don’t take Boeing for granted they will be back with a new product don’t you worry.

Boeing in the future will continue improving the efficiency of all its lines, but particularly the 737, which it relies on as it best selling aircraft and until the tides turn and the 737 looses popularity, they will continue producing the aircraft. You never know…there may be a 737-900ER

The 787 is already on the cards and looks more promising than their concept designs…

RE: Air Austral Expands Service with Two New Boeing 777s

For Air Austral the acquisition of two 777s is quite a leap in capacity and aircraft types. Never have they operated anything larger than a 737 nor any destination longer than Africa, so it must be quite a risk taking on such large aircraft to start long haul flights.
However, the market between Reunion and Paris is quite lucrative with Air Lib, Air France and Corsair already serving Reunion from Paris. Also with connections to the Comoros and other Indian Ocean islands, I am confident the 777 will be quite a success for them.

RE: BA LGW-GCI news for Saab 2000

EGNM, when new independent domestic carriers are set up in the next few years to fill the void left by BA’s regional insufficiency, I think we will all be laughing. The truth is small and independent carriers are the future of regional airports if they want to sustain their domestic services as they have the city/airport/island at heart in their priorities. So I hope we can go back to the heyday of carriers like Brymon, Cityflyer and Manx.

Anyway, we have to remember BA got itself into this mess by merging all the subsidiaries into one-Citiexpress. They took profitable companies and forced them into one bad managed, unorganised company and made a loss.
