Just to bring this back up as Dan is having a pretty rough time with flights currently.

First his 3 Aloha sectors got canned because the airline went bust, now today ATA have ceased flying operations so he doesn’t have a flight home from Hawaii!

I can think of worse places to be stranded but talk about a run of bad luck. 🙁

Was just thinking this. Was bad enough for Aloha to go bust, but then for ATA to follow a few days later when he had flights booked on both!
You’re right there are worst places to be stranded but it can’t be a great feeling being stranded on the other side of the world, be it Hawaii or not.
Hopefully he doesn’t have any problems finding alternative travel arrangements.

A single MON B752 will be based at EDI.

I flew on them MAN-HER-MAN not long after they had started back in 2003, and they were rubbish. Outbound was delayed 3 hours and ended up on a Finnair B752 operating for Air Scandic operating for Flyjet.:confused: Went with no catering having been given no warning of this prior to boarding and to top it all off I ended up in one of those window seats on the B752 that doesn’t actually have a window.
On the return on FJEA there was no IFE in use because they didn’t have the appropriate licenses at that stage or something like that, not that that really bothers me, a window and my MP3 player is all I need. I’m sure it was slightly late again but it was approaching 5 years ago now so my memory is hazy.;) It was the outbound that sticks in my memory for being particularly poor.

Don’t worry about it your booking will be retrieved at check-in using your surname anyway, generally it’s only really the initial of your first name that is important (in cases of differentiating pax with same surnames). It will most likely go unnoticed.

Good year for you mate! For me, I suppose it would be getting my first job in the aviation industry as a dispatcher at the start of the year which I’m still enjoying.
Have to catch up with you at some point Dan, your LAX-HNL flight has been downgraded to B752 incase you don’t already know. 🙁

Interesting shots! Good old GSM. :diablo:

How come the only GSM aircraft I have seen at LPL in the last few weeks has been the 737’s? Surely this does not do the LPL-NOC-JFK rotation?

Of course it does, this is GSM we’re talking about. LPL-NOC-YYT-JFK. Lovely.
