Thanks all. I hadn't looked out of the window by this time so obviously didn't see any rough weather.

I noticed a couple of departures off RW32 around 8 a.m. today made right turns after takeoff. I'm not aware of and changes to SIDs or any ropey weather at the time.

We did have Caravelles pre-extension from Sterling and Transavia. That aeroplane was very much a two-engined Comet.

Nevertheless, the whole business smacks of immature willy waving. Let's be better than that.

This constant bitching about Doncaster is getting boring and in poor taste. Just imagine if the situation were reversed.

I don't care for all the 'e by gum' nonsense either. It signals a lack of sophistication and seriousness. In a similar vein, I can't be doing with cinematic garbage like Kes and Brassed Off. Those attitudes haven't aged well and have no place in promoting business nowadays.

Landed about half an hour ago. Painted all white.

Wot fun.

Please. Enough of the 'humour'. Seriously, it's tiresome and painful.

It arrived about ten minutes ago.

If the LBA Marketing bods were promoting a circus or school for wannabe comedians they'd have the right approach. But this 'Ey up' business lacks class and makes me cringe.

I agree about all the 'Ey up' language. It's not a serious way to promote a serious business. I find it quite patronising and sums up our region as a land of ignorant peasants. Not good.

The stand allocation is the responsibility of the Airside Operations Unit and is an ongoing process throughout the day, with last minute stand changes not unknown! BTW, the airbridge on stand 8 conked out a few years ago, not long after it's overhaul, and it hasn't worked since. The bridge on...

Doesn't Avion Express, an established ACMI outfit, have significant interest in the Monarch Airlines name ?

There should be unashamed promotion, pictures and everything else in the media showing what's going on, plans and progress and so on. That would simultaneously encourage passengers and the travel trade whilst saying to the doom mongers, 'B****ks to you, this airport is happening and expanding...

Aurigny used their Embraer on their Friday Manchester service. I didn't realise it was still in service.

I have yet to see a Malta Air branded Ryanair 737 at LBA. Have we ever had a visit from one?

It would be great to have our Heathrow link back. I wonder if Aer Lingus mainline might like a crack at it ?

Apparently the BA A320 has some Australian rugby connection. That's all I know.

Purely speculative of course but Southwind could temporarily transfer their aircraft and crews to the Sun Express AOC and operate them that way. Might not be legal or something SunEx or Pegasus or whoever would wish to consider. It's a thought though.
