I can confirm it was MCEA the bloody shed.I spent 2 hours sat on it this morning before getting sent home.As for the other questions im not sure even our ops dont know whats going on at the moment.My girlfriend is on the IBZ and is still sat on the a/c waiting to get a flight to PMI.Which means at least another 12 hours before she can come back on duty if she was at the hotel now.Its going to be one hell of a delay for the poor pax in IBZ.I recon by the time they get back they will be over 30 hours late and thats providing the crew get to a hotel within the next hour which aint going to happen.
Bit of a update.The crew are now out of hours and there are no spare a/c or crew to send out a rescue flight.It was planned to give the crew min rest in ibz and then bring the flight back in the morning when the a/c is fixed.However there are no hotel roooms on the island so they are having to go over to pmi for the night.As for the poor pax god only knows ???? I was meant to be on thr LPA tonight but have been stood down so dont whats going on with that and the ALC that should have gone this morning.It never rains it just pours !!!!!!!
Its a mess.But here goes:The afternoon mah yesterday went tech down there and started off the delay.They should have been back around 9pm but didnt get in till 3.15am.So that had a knock on for my flight the ibz.We should have checked in at 9pm but didnt check in till 3.30am.But the a/c went tech again when it landed and couldt be fixed so we went out of hours.The crew that was meant to be on the alc got called to take my ibz but that went tech down in ibz where it still is and the crew on that go out of hours at 7pm.Dont know what the plan is at the moment to get that flight back ? The problem is to do with an indicator in the flight deck.Without going into too much detail one display is showing a/c is on the ground and the other is showing its in the air ??? If i hear anything else ill keep you posted.
Sounds like caos down there.Good job your dad was on hand to sort things out ! only 4 BA staff thats not good enough for this time of year is it ?
Id say the 757 looked pretty sleek in that c/s too.
MyTravel now charge £1.50 for a set of headphones.
Greekdude yeah i did mean Aukland just got my codes mixed up.Didnt realise that we were talking direct too.My mistake.
Got this from another site but it says the distance is 8299 nm but again i might be wrong ?
Think its LHR-AUK might be wrong though.
She looks good mate !!
Matt your MyTravel looked briliant.Saying that you did paint it up in the full c/s.
No a/c are to be painted at the moment due to cost saving.But all the new A320 and A321 a/c will be delivered in the new colours.Shame but needs must.
No nothing down this end ?
Nothing in writing yet im afraid so who knows ? But i heard a rumor on the company site that we might get a Alitalia 747 but that was shot down in flames by the managment.However it would by nice as i have great memories of working on the Air NewZealand 747 we had back in 98.
As i understand it we own the 10-10,s outright so there is no issue with the leasing company.I am told that the 3 a/c need major work to keep their COA and the main thing is that they all need to be completly re-wired which has to be an expensive job.As the company is trying to save money in ever area i guess its not worth it to have the work done ?
