I eat it using a teaspoon. Makes it all the more yummy. Somehow.

…A whole half pint tub of Haagen-Dazs ‘Cookies and Cream’ Ice Cream……all to my greedy little self. Yummy. 😀 Finished off in about an hour or two.

Never stop climbing, circling and then climbing again. I fly every month and it was really weird. I would appreciate to hear possible explanations.

Air Traffic Control restrictions or routings likely.

As for the five emergencies in a month, I assume you mean situations where the emergency services were called to standby the side of the runway as an aircraft landed. Not to worry – this happens more than people might think, and Clickair is not the only airline by any means to have ‘as many as’ five emergencies in a month.

56.6 – the hell am I doing wrong?!

You think you’ve got problems…! I just managed to scrape past 50.

RE the English language thing: turn it around slightly – a series of recent Hajj pilgrimage flights were crewed by an all English, non-French speaking cabin crew. The passengers were all French Muslims and none of them spoke English.

So, it may be safe to say that lanaguage problems and incompatibilities are perhaps a common issue.

BA have a MAN and JFK link at manchester and have had it for like over 25 years. Why havnt they expanded at MAN. They could have some really good routes from MAN such as SFO LAX YVR YYZ YUL IAD DFW aswell as BOM DEL BKK NRT PEK PVG HKG SIN(With onward to SYD).

They could also codeshare with EK on DXB Flight SQ on SIN Flights and AA on ORD flights. I see potneial for MAN to become a really good base for BA it is just a pitty that BA dont share my thought too. I think that if they did do this some of the LCC would want to Move out of MAN but hey that is no big loss for MAN as BA would easliy rise passenger numbers well above 10%.

Who is British Airways? Oh! You mean London Airways! BA is, on the whole, only interested in London. Hence, the selling of the Citiexpress thing to Flybe, and the ending of the GB Airways thing. Hence the neglect that BA has given MAN.

BA wouldnt codeshare with SQ on MAN-SIN, because Virgin already does! I don’t think that if BA came back, it would make the LCC leave MAN. The thing that will make LCC leave MAN, will be other LCCs.

MAN based its future growth and prospects on BA sticking around – MAN, unfortunately, didnt see BA pulling a fast one and leaving MAN in the way that they have.

I agree that BA could try new long haul routes from Manchester, but they won’t. We’ll only get long haul routes like that if and when foriegn long haul carriers move into MAN.

You could ask the same questions of Virgin. We’ve seen little expansion from them at MAN for a while. Why? I suspect its becuase of their enormous interest in London, and belief that they wouldnt be able to make reasonable load factors.

Will be interesting, however, to see what happens at MAN and other regional airports in the UK, once the US-Euro Open Skies agreement comes into force in the new year.
