    Does having Winglets on the 757 effect the piloting techniques? Are there new factors to take into consideration?

    Is that definitely a 738? Do KLM have any E190s? :confused:

    Ian

    Yup! Its definatley a 738. Allong with the 734 and the 733 they operate the first 2 flights of the morning from NCL to AMS then its KLC for the rest of the day!

    I dont think KLM operated the E190.

    The good thing about Jet2.com is that you can book single one way flights from TFS, LPA or ACE back to NCL!

    I am in the summer! Flying into TFS with TOM and coming back with LS!

    Simple fact is that they see them selves been at the airport and should be allowed to get on the aircraft. Pax see an airline over selling there flights as been greedy and well stupid ive had it all the last few days after been telling pax there on standby due to overbooking!

    For the Last 2 days now nearly all the KLM flights that i have been checking in at NCL have been oversold! The pax just dont seem to be able to get there heads around it! One of the worst things about my job is having to tell pax at the gate that they cant get on! Done it Twice today!

    The 707 arrived and aint moved from its currant spot since it arrived! Its here for Hush Kitting so it can fly out of the UK on a regular basis! But i think theres been a snag along the line!
