Well the low fare ‘bubble may burst’…
Possibly when better regulations are introduced for the working conditions of flight crew, which will then mean that the lo-co’s cannot work pilots for such dangerously long hours with low pay. Or maybe when Ryanair are forced to carry out their turnaround checks as thoroughly as they are supposed to – meaning turnaround times are drastically increased.

Does anyone really think that the small measures such as ticketless travel and no inflight magazines are enough to bring what used to be a £150 fare down to something like £9? They are just reasons to cover up the real money saving measures. Huge corners are probably being cut and I think eventually this may end the LCCs.

I think I’m the only person to ask this – but why do all the more expensive models come WITHOUT a stand and the gear down?

Personally, I think that landing gear spoils an aircraft’s gracefullness.

Looks like I’m the only person with a Helios 737…. :rolleyes:

Cool, I wouldn’t mind one of those….if it had winglets.

Wow! Excellent pics!

I don’t think you would have any trouble getting them onto a.net.

Very nice shots there, saw the Air Berlin special livery at STN today. Looked very excellent 😀

Not as excellent as the same livery on the Korean 738 which I saw at Farnborough today. :p

Although it’s not a particularly interesting announcement as Virgin already operate A346s, I find it surprising since I would have thought VS already had pleanty of these aircraft to fit the kind of routes they are optimised for…
