Great photo and great airline! Well done mate!

Wannabe, you’ll be flying from T1, a great terminal both landside and airside in my opinion. Photo opportunities are limited, you can get some photos if you go to the Europier in T1, this is made of glass and gives good views of the airfield. Furthermore if you follow the signs to T2 when you are airside, you can go to T2 departures as well and get some close up photos at the window next to Dixons. I only discovered the fact that you can pass freely between T1 and T2 airside recently, but it makes the shopping a lot better whe flying from T2!

I don’t mind T1 check in at all, although I totally agree T2 check in is very dull and dismal, T3 is also pretty depressing. I’m a big fan of Manchester Airport so I’d agree with the survey there. Haven’t used Newcastle yet, I’ll be going there for the first time on the 27th of the month so I’ll report back then 🙂

Deano, if that’s the case then I apologise, takes for clearing it up mate, I don’t want to look like a total mad man, I’m just very concerned that the likes of Skylinerworld will stop posting because they feel people are getting at them. I know that when I was twelve I didn’t quite understand the fact that people aren’t being harsh when they have a laugh at your expense.

Congrats mate! A well deserved move, and what a great aircraft as well! Look out for captain Phil Weignwright (I think that’s how you spell it) he’s a mate who flies the A340s at VS, nice chap!

If Thomas Cook ask for anyone you can think of to fill in your seat at TCX you know who to call 🙂

I don’t care who I sit in the right seat for just as long as I have a job when I finish training next year!!

An Aer Lingus 747-200 is flying from Dublin to New York when suddenly the pilot comes over the intercom ‘Ladies and gentlement, we’ve lost one engine, it’s not a major problem but it will take an extra hour to get to JFK’. A few minutes later ‘Ladies and gentlemen, you’re captain again, we’ve just lost a second engine, not too much to worry about but it will take about 3 hours to get to JFK’. Suddenly the pilot comes over the intercom again sounding very worried ‘Ladies and gentlemen we’ve lost the third engine, things are getting a bit hairy, it will take us five hours to get to New York now’. An Irish passenger in row 23 turns to the passenger next to him ‘Bloody hell if we loose another we’ll be up here for years’!!

Could this be an opportunity for Virgin Express to return to the British market? I seem to recall them saying that if Ryanair left any of the Charleroi routes they would commit to taking them over.
