    Maybe he doesnt understand the definition of homepage, and is thinks of it as his favourite page ????

    I think you are 100% right by738. The poor guy will probably be really embarrassed when the mods contact him.

    London City Airways/Euro City Airways were a short-lived british Dash 7 operator.

    At least one of their aircraft then went to British Midland.

    Quite simple really Dan. It’s just like any other franchise (eg McDonalds). An independant airline pays to use the BA brand.

    The benefit to BA is financial and an extension to the network. The benefit to the independant is the use of the BA name and support from a large airline for things such as reservations systems, aircraft purchasing/leasing, etc.

    If a franchise ends (which happens fairly regularily) the two airlines simply part company. Any routes the franchisee operates on behalf of BA would go back to BA, the rest stay with the independant and BA stops selling them as their own.

    Wys and I have discussed this on several occassions

    For charter pax the flight is often an event in itself or at least part of the holiday so they want to have an ‘experience’ with as much variety as possible whilst onboard. On longhaul IFE is about passing the time. Shorthaul scheduled pax want punctuality, legroom, The Telegraph and a G&T. They have laptops and paperwork to keep them occupied so they aren’t interested in IFE and elaborate meals.

    From a corporate point of view the cost of headsets and copyright for 6 sectors the aircraft might do in a day would be huge, and what to show on short sectors would always be a problem.

    The downside is that if you fly on a charter operated by a mainly scheduled airline, a scheduled leisure route or, if like most of us, you fly for fun you may feel that you are missing out.

    We get more complaints about IFE on flights that have it than on those that don’t!

    Wys, I wonder how often the Cabin Crew need to change the cabin temperature. On the minibus the temperature is always the same and never needs to be altered.

    An old saying i used to hear (Red and Green Should Never Be Seen)

    Wasn’t that Blue and Green? As in ‘should never be seen except on an Irish queen’.

    I don’t think it’s TOO bad, but as bmi-star and Airline Owner say respectively it would have looked better with a silver fuselage and the title further forward as on the VS 340.

    Vince,

    The difficulty in giving you an answer is that the 767 has a flexible Club Europe/Euro Traveller split. Club can be from 3 rows to 24 rows depending on how big a cabin is needed, and it does vary a lot on the PRG. It would also depend on how many of you are travelling and what your priorities are (window/bulkhead/etc.)

    Generally speaking though the Club cabin has a 2/2/2 layout and Traveller 2/3/2.

    Personally I wouldn’t bother with bulkhead rows as the legroom there isn’t really any better than in other rows (this is true on all of the shorthaul fleet) and they are next to the galleys on the 767.

    In Club if you want a window seat then obviously go for A or K, if you want space then go for D or F as there is a gap between them where the E seat is in Traveller.

    In Traveller I would go for the exit row at the 3 doors, 27AB 26DEF 27JK, for legroom. I would avoid the E seat as it is a centre seat (unless there are 3 of you travelling of course), and I would avoid 37 to 40 DEF as they are between wardrobes/toilets/galleys so have no window views at all and tend to be busy areas.

    Hope that helps.

    Sorry Paul, that wasn’t in any way intentional. Hope I haven’t offended.

    To be honest Paul I’ve had them for ages so I don’t remember.

    You’ve reminded me though I should have credited them to the owner. So as it’s likely that they are from Airliners.net I’ll give them the credit.

    If I remember rightly (and correct me if I am wrong) the service was originally operated by South East European Airways, SEEA, as a VS franchise using an Air UK Leisure/Leisure International 737, G-UKLB.

    They then got an A320, SX-BSV, but soon after got into financial difficulties and stopped operating.

    VS took the operation in house, the aircraft transferring briefly onto the Irish register with the leasing company registration, EI-VIR.

    Once things were up and running the aircraft transferred to the UK register as G-OUZO, and as the route grew was replaced with the A321, G-VATH.

    I have no idea why they pulled off the route.

    Looks ok, although I think the logos are a little lost except the website.

    Not sure I see the logic of having 1 Dash8 and 1 Dornier328 in a fleet of 4 aircraft. It seems even with their own fleet things are still going to be complex.
