Does anyone care to express an opinion on the decision to allow AA, United, Boeing etc to be sued over 9/11 ?

Why do they never have it on sale on the date announced in the previous issue. I took a walk into the city centre yesterday to buy a copy as per the previous issue saying “The 10th” and they didn’t have it in.

What a pain !:D

Continental have now confirmed that the GLA/EDI services to Newark will both be operated by ETOPS 752’s all year round. The 764 will not return for the summer season unless there is a case of “exceptional demand”

This is a blow to cargo ops at GLA which were able to utilise the larger hold of the 764 for direct GLA-USA cargo movements.

The final CO 764 movement from GLA is expected to be late October, although there are also rumours of a 763 operating over the winter until the EDI route comes online in June 2004. 🙁

A Bridge Too Far… loads and loads of Dakotas !

The Eagle Has Landed…. just for the long JU-52 sequence at the start.

What was the one featuring Jimmy Stewart and the Peacemaker squadron ?

I can’t believe it’s 2 years since that awful day ? I still can’t believe something so cynical happened.

BA’s transatlantic hub is and always will be Heathrow. They are happy to bring the UK travelling public through this congested centre and then feed them onto to the regions.

It says a lot about BA as the “national” airline that the only transatlantic options from Scotland are operated by north american carriers (holiday charters excepted). I expect this also applies to most UK regional airports. Flying to the US with BA normally means adding on the cost of a shuttle flight to LHR for those of us who may wish to choose “British” when off to America.

To be honest it’s generally more cost effective and convenient to fly Continental, AA, Air Canada etc or even Aer Lingus (via DUB) from Scotland than BA to the USA.

Er…. Did I mention KLM via AMS ? That’s usually better value as well. Also Icelandair from GLA. :rolleyes:
