The ground staff are discontent with their union’s deal with management so they are currently imposing a ‘work to rule’.
Yup! But no closet.
No closet required any more…most of the stewards came out of it long ago!
I recently booked a friend on BA, TLS to LGW in economy, LGW to TLS in business. Including a £10 phone booking supplement and a £25 overseas ticketing charge and all taxes, total cost £160.
The nearest flight timings on EZY would have cost a little over £700.
err…that would be me then! 😀
I wonder if the UK 145 rule is similar to the UK operation of the F100 in the early days? When Air Europe introduced the F100 to the UK In the late 80’s the UK CAA insisted that they operated with 4 cabin crew as they were concerned that there were no exits aft of the overwings. This had not been the case in any UK certified aircraft before.
Smooths out the wrinkles nicely :p 😉
Superb thread dab.
BA already give out pretzels (at least they do out of Gatwick). I find them as tasty as the cardboard box my breakfast cereal comes in!
They only need bigger muscles to carry all the food you expect!!!
Similar question about the 764. Also how many did they sell?
Can’t be 100% sure but I think all the based aircraft are A319’s however there are still a fair number of 737NG’s operating through LGW from other bases.
Does anyone know if enough profit was made from 753 sales to cover costs?
I think that has made the point rather nicely!
I should add that those points about the 753 are really quite minor. It’s still a delightful aircraft to fly…it’s just that the 752 is much nicer. My only significant criticism of the 752 is that it is not enough positively stable in roll.
On the Saab 340 the vortex generators were painted the same colour as the airframe, however the underside was painted yellow so that it would be obvious if any had fallen off. The only problem was that a large part of our colour scheme was yellow!!!
Things are going fine, Duess. Best bit is that I now get Upper Class food as standard. I got my uniform trousers 2″ too big in anticipation (and I’m not joking!).
