Who runs the route between EDI and GLA? Never seen it myself, I assume its a Scotland > Onwards route?

I would hazard a guess at anything between 2000 and 10000 depending on the equipment used, and the type of flying being conducted.

You got it in one, LCY attracts much higher charges for everything, and is I believe the most expensive airport to operate out of in Europe.

Interesting stuff. I believe QF and BA use the alliance agreement to justify what is known as the joint service agreement, and its not something that is going to change considering the majority of the top global airlines all do it. Virgin must be one of the only ones not yet in an alliance?

Nevertheless he won’t be able to change the attitude of BA and QF, and will just have to come into the market and offer it some direct competition. To be honest I think RB is making too much out of this. Base fare for LHR-SYD is about £500, which for a half way round the world flight does seem reasonable. I don’t see him undercutting those prices particularly if he ever wants to make a profit, and his impact on the market will be negligable.

Interesting read, and congrats on getting a 732!

Believe they have come across from Mauritania after devastating this years crop causing a rather nasty famine. I don’t think they are causing too much trouble over in Arrecife as they are tired from the journey from North Africa. They are being exterminated by flamethrrowers which must be interesting to see!

Knowing the Americans love of the French equal only to ourselves, I am sure they are fully aware of the situation, and ready to rub it in Chiracs face as soon as they discover the explosives on a “poor, terrified, victimised innocent American citizen, whose freedoms and liberities have been so apalling tarnished” etc etc.
