Great shots! Good to see G-THOO still going strong!

First nights address is all thats needed address wise.

As far as im aware for Esta there is a seven month grace period before the rules are properly introduced.

Be very wary when doing this! If you don’t turn up for both sectors outbound it isn’t uncommon for the airline to cancel your return. It makes no real sense, I know, but it does happen!

Agreed! Its getting very common now! Have lost count of the amount of times ive had passengers turn up at my gate only to find they have been offloaded by the carrier for not been on there outbound flight.

4.30am! To make matters worse I had to be back at the airport for around 9 to go to MSP via AMS!

Like mentioned above, the airport was also dead. The two female staff on the desk in the baggage hall were just sat giggling and couldnt work the tannoy. People were going mad quite quickly! Apparently “the lorry broke down”, which, for an international airport at 4.30 in the morning seemed a rather tall story

I noticed Gate the other day. I always see the same dispatchers on easyJet flights, and ones that previously worked for Servisair are now at Gate (at least some, anyway). So will they have changed employer, or do they work for easyJet?

Ah i see! I was going to say if it had been any later the lads would have bee busy doing the outbounds.

As for Gate they have carried over some dispatchers from Servis Air, aswell as the easyjet check in staff, ramp lads and controllers. They all used to work for Servis Air they now work for Gate. There are some ex swissport dispatchers working for Gate covering the eastern flights i think there due to start training up on Easyjet soon.

Pass them to Fedex, JET2 or another airline, don’t for gods sake scrap them.

Airframes were worn out Tommy. TOM used them heavily during there service. FEDEX at the moment are only after second hand 757s to replace the 727.

Rumours were rife last year and the year before that Jet2 were after 767’s but from what i can tell there looking for more 757s.

Nice shot!

Catch the Virgin A340’s?
