:confused: :confused: :confused: Really? What is the difference then apart from the hours on the planes?

keeping the ave age down

and more importantly keeping the maintenance costs down. Remember FR work those machines hard.

The 146’s are being replaced by 195’s. although there have delivery problems which is slowing this down.

I am sure the IOM service was going to Q400, it may already have done so which would explain the sightings if the Q400.

INV I am sure is to get a 195 for their LGW’s

JER/LGW goes to the 195 from the start of the winter timetable when the service increases to 6 daily. According to their website JER is to get the newest one which I am sure is G-FBEF

Not sure about GCI or BHD.

Cork is next on the list for EIN cuts,

Is this likely? EI have just set up a crew base at Cork rather than hotac the crew. This will save a lot of euro thus making yields higher and costs lower.

I’ve applied and police checks were mentioned on one of the screens. Can’t remember exactely what it said but it was definately mentioned

The codeshare is only on the LHR route.

Will be interesting to see the BA and more notably the FR response to this one.

Good move though, nice to see all their eggs aren’t in the LHR basket anymore

Nice shots

I particularly like the Airberlin one, an airline I would love to see more of up here in Scotland.

Well looks like i’m not the only one that’s 2p fared out my head then

The penny flights do appear to be helping the load factor which has fell the last few months, however how much are they going to have to pay ‘Greedy Gordon’ (I believe that’s what they call him) in APD?

For 2p the scrum is bearable – just!, however the priority boarding is very hit or miss – most of the english speaking airports seem to have it down to a fine art (SNN excepted). The small print regarding priority boarding will state something about being bussed to the aircraft (I know EZY’s does – it says something like we guarantee you will be first on the bus but possibly not the plane)
