RE: Who is bigger? Ryanair or EasyJet

I wrote about easyJet a few months back and Ryanair were the bigger of the two but with 120 A320s on order and the taking over of Go-Fly, I don’t think it will be long before easyJet climb to the top.

RE: And the worst songs this year?

I like the Ketchup Song and think the Manic Street Preachers are great – I’m going to see them at Wembley next month.

I do dislike all these manufactured bands i.e. the now “defunct” Hear’say and Will Young, Gareth Gates etc.

With bands like Westlife, even though I’m not a fan, give them credit, they have been around for quite some time.

RE: BAA Fire staff to strike?

Thank god, I’m back at last. Stupid NTL had some problems and I couldnt get onto most websites.

My mum was convinced this was going to interrupt our plans next week to go to New York but I told her they just couldn’t go on strike and give little more than a week’s notice!

I can’t see it happening – it would mean the closure of 7 airports including Heathrow, one of the busiest in the world with flights from every corner of the globe, taking people home and bringing people into the UK to spend Christmas. I reckon that at the last possible minute, action will be taken and the strike will be averted. Firemen put their life on the line for us and deserve a raise, but I do think they should be civil and not do what they’re doing. I do however believe that the 40% rise that they want is a little too much to expect.

RE: Sixth terminal for Heathrow?

Heathrow used to be a Hamlet.. but now, it’s non-existent because when Terminal 3 went up, it was flattened and the small town of Heathrow was built upon.

I thought that building extra runways at Stansted was going to reduce the air traffic at Heathrow by up to 40%. This is just yet another reason to accept lots more aircraft each week! I wasn’t too sure on the terminal 5 idea but terminal 6 now as well..??!

RE: FIRST SCOTTISH NO FRILLS AIRLINE LAUNCHED

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 08-11-02 AT 09:08 PM (GMT)]I can’t understand why some people are so negative towards lo-cost carriers. In my opinion, it’s going to be the future of air travel – easyJet have made it big and by taking over “Go Fly”, they are going to make it even bigger.

Surely there are not too many people who would quite happily pay a higher price than they have to.. are there??

I think it’s a good thing. Lo-costs don’t operate from all airports and to have them at as many as possible is a good thing – a wider variety of flight available to us (the passengers) and the chance for the entire nation to fly for a fraction of the price.

But why oh why have they called themselves FlyGlobeSpan? They fly to four or five destinations in Europe – hardly spanning the globe!
