Technically a UFO has to be just outside of France not EU?

Odd that they think getting to Belfast is more important than people getting to Blackpool. I was under the impression from local tourism blurb that it was a bigger thing for people to be able to get to Blackpool than to get to Belfast from Blackpool!

The only reason I can see people wanting to visit Blackpool is because the Federation of Small Business HQ is there :p 😀 :dev2:

1. Can anyone tell me how it was initially set-up?

2. Did it have its own Air Operators Certificate (AOC) or did it plan to use someone elses?

3. Has it operated any revenue services yet? If not, are there plans for it to re-commence services anytime soon?

1) Result of A Level Research Project

2) Plans with Futura were finalised but due to the financial investor being put behind bars for embeselment they suffered a lack of funds shortly before scheduled service launch.

3) Plans are afoot for a relaunch but i have been told that for the last six months

Well done to the author for giving a map to see where the action was taking placed. I thought it would help seeing the map but with all the Jet Blues i got confused too – credit to him.

At least in Flight Sim they have a big red flight number floating above the plane!

I would have expected a better level of english from international crews operating to such a big airport….

The A340-600 is a piece of spaghetti with wings

There is the comment for the people with a fear of flying!!!!!

But I could see an opportunity for BMI Regional on lower volume routes from BFS – most notably Brussels, Aberdeen, Newquay, Southampton, Inverness and possibly Geneva.

SN Brussels did very well on this route previously but the attempt to rebuild the route using £100k of government money on a 12 seater never worked and wasted the £100k!!!!

N.B. SN Brussels used a BAe 146-200

Edit – 12 Seater was two NI people trying to start an airline not SN Brussels

I think it’s safe to say Mr Travolta is more than likely as qualified as any other pilot to land his aircraft in an emergency! Why would he need to hand over to someone else?

Paul

I meant if he was not at the controls as normally he only flies the begining and end of flights and has two employed pilots fly the middle bit.

You know how if you leave your mobile phone near a speaker you will frequently get a signal hunting noise emitting from the speaker…well that comes through our headsets if a mobile phone is in use. I’ve never experienced navigational problems but it’s irritating having the headset noise when you’re trying to decipher Russian (etc) ATC.

Could some form of shielding be installed the cockpit bulkhead to prevent this?
