ahhh Martin – whats your sirname – i’ll look out for you – i’m online ATM
uforntunatly if we look left we will see my avatar shows my fav AIH tail! – Nice pic nethertheless
I start work for Emerald A/W at Liverpool in August in Operations
..and surely as said aboe tourism… i weekend flight from Northern airports such as Leeds, Newcastle, Manchester, Liverpool may save a 7 hour drive – if the price is right the same connections will appear as have to Jersey on a Sat/Sun from throughout the country. Even Exeter could do that i’m sure!
hi all,
ah my passion.. flight simming, an addiction!!
Usually the sun runs – Caneries, Balerics, Spain, Greece for me, although on one giddy day i did do the Seyshells, and Narita about 3 years bak. My total hours currently amount to around 1,250. Shortly to fly LEBL-EGNM.
Does anyone else on here use VATSIM? Anyone fly for a VA?
For those who don’t know VATSIM is the Virtual Air Trafiic SIMulation network, basically a huge m/p game with other traffic and ATC. I’ve seen 600 a/c + ATC be online before with no events been held
Sabb, have you tried Aurigny VA? – based on the RW ops of Aurigny?
I’m currently staff with White Rose VA, http://www.whiteroseva.com who mirror the RW ops of bmi, jet2, Mytravel, Eastern and BY out of a Leeds/Bradford hub, which standardises our fleet to JS41, E145, B733, B752 and B762. Hopefully i can get some of you interested in either vatsim http://www.vatsim.net or a VA – its great!
should be interesting -is that with the Trislander still?
do the met still have 3 helos? – i remember the London Fire Brigade helo that came and went, and G-HEMS that went to Barbados!
yea i think i’ve seem Holiday Airline before somewhere – not cert tho..
i have to agree that it is nice to see Monarch over Ezy, and also that airport is a lot better than Airline!
i hope that wasn’t shortly after t/o – god a load of drunks singing allllllll that way home!

I actually think the colour scheme is quite fun and from an aviation preservation viewpoint will be beneficial. How many Red Bull drinkers know what a Sea Vixen is? (Or come to think of it any particular older aircraft)
Oi!!! – i do and drink a lot of it 😉
i can see the above points, but if it’s benificial to the community to have air travel then why can’t it be subsidised by the government like other forms of travel, e.g. rural bus links etc.
A nations flag carrier that HUBS at LHR and LGW – where else really has that level of presence? Manchester has several routes, but otherds like EDI and GLA aren’t all non-stop routes.
Birmingham has DUO on behalf of BA, and Bristol, Aberdeen etc, have limited services
What about Leeds, Cardiff, Guernsey, Norwich, East Mids, Southampton, Humberside, Teeside, Liverpool etc? If Plymouth/Newquay aren’t profitable howsabout Barra and other Orkney/ Outer hebrides runs? are they not?
willdo either this evening or tommorow Kab

Having been involved (very much) at the periphery of one of these Airline series, what you are watching is not documentary, but (very much again) a docu-soap. The programmes are edited to create the story (and I do mean story) that the film makers want to tell. Incidents are used highly selectively, and edited together in an order that can bear little relation to what actually happened.
Furthermore, passengers were (allegedly) paid by the film-makers to do stupid things on camera.
Entertaining I am sure, but NOT a documentary.
i’ve always said since after the 2nd series on easyjet the programme has gone bland and lack entertainment value. Its the same pax argues with check in agent for 50% or airtime.
Bring back the good old BY days – one series with them was more entertaining than most of the easyjet sagas – perhaps a change of airline could be in order?
cheers Steve
i’ve seen a lot of pics with the smokey tristar start-ups – why was this a/c so prone to them over others?
