    I was onboard in December 2005 and was shocked at the state of her. They appear to have made no effort at all to keep her in good shape.

    Inside they have made two walls of clear perspex along the end of the isles which does not do the interior of the aircraft and good looks wise. Agreed the floors etc is tatty and cockpit is awful looking.

    I don’t know how many times i crossed the Pacific from Sydney to LAX in the sixties and early seventies on Pan Am 707’s…they were a very comfortable ride along with the Air New Zealand DC8’s

    I am not that keen on more “historic” aircraft (mainly DC3 etc) but the 707 is definetly one i would give anything to have a flight on. Ive heard many stories from pax and never once has there been a bad one!

    There was a indepth look at BAMC and their Croesyceiliog (or Cwmbran) Aircraft Seat Refurb/Assembly facilities i think in late 2005 Airliner Word? Unsure if anyone still has any copies from that era?

    I thought it might be but it has been done in cases of good weather over the last month or so! Also, they are always parked in the same position when the wind around that area can normally get a 130 heading which would mean wind was going from nose to tail whilst parked nose in on stand!

    I think, if it goes ahead, someone needs to challenge this (in court if necessary) – I don’t necessarily mean you or I, but maybe the consumer association, or another trade body.

    Agreed

    As far as I can see, if I’ve paid for a flight and the charges include security taxes and charges and there are no conditions that state that I will be subject to security charges applied by the airport.

    As the charge is technically not leved by airlines or really has much legally to do with them it would not have to feature in the T&C. It would be viewed as a contract, of sorts, between you and the airport.

    True, but frequency of service counts as much as capacity on routes like these.

    True for most part but im sure the 55 minute gap between some lhr-jfk services would be more economical to BA if they consolidated onto one flight on a larger aircraft, if that was possible.

    Remember A380 is not the equivalent of two B747s or two B777s so if the majority of flights are full combining two flights is not possible without losing capacity that normall is used.

    I think the likes of Ryanair are responsible for the end result of charging pax.

    At Londonderry Airport (EGAE) they were given over £1million to promote the London Stansted service by the local council. This was in addition to fees for landing and per pax that are hardly worth mentioning due to the haggling of FR.

    FR (and the rest) seem to be able to too easily make airports believe they need the airline and not the other way around.

    The airlines are not state run, they are private companies making lots of money yet they resent any additional charges that are needed for things such as security. (things that keem them flying)

    Their marketing is superb, general punters seem to think its the airport and governments fault yet really one could agrue the airline could be a little more “co-operative” when it comes to at least part obsorbing the costs.

    Is five FA’s for an A319 not overkill? I thought the mimum/average was 3 or 4
