It’s still more seats on sale than last year. Just less than they were expecting. Not sure why it’s worded as is and then obviously the stock market / media have picked up on that and turned in into doom and gloom. The colleague share save scheme matures next month. It was inevitable the price...

What Blue Sky has said ties in with this graph released to shareholders (I believe) last autumn. I do believe plans may have changed though now.

Literally busted. It needs a new tyre. That can happen to any aircraft, and unfortunately it’s happened to a 300!! FM had a generator issue. I flew an 800 with the same issue the other week. I think the 300s are more notable when they go tech because there are all in one base and mostly...

Yes indeed. I think the media imply a different context to the word struggle!

Probably was out of limits on the speed, or gad wind shear! It definitely is a struggle! A battle. A wrestle! Yes we’re flying to SOP, but the only SOP affecting us are the limits. SOP doesn’t derive how much input we’re having to put in to keep the thing level, that’s just skill!

The offender! Cretin: a stupid person (used as a general term of abuse).

From what I understand FR have no take off selection for Delta, just like we don’t at LS. What you can do with our tool is select a shortened runway, and manually enter the runway length. If it gives a solution, then its safe to do! (It’ll likely give a higher thrust selection than full length...

One copper was punched in the face and another bit! Cretins!

The 733, 738 and 321N all burn roughly 2400kgs of fuel per hour!

There was a drone spotted over the approach.

It’s been in the pipeline for years. Imagine if one of the training centres went up in flames tomorrow. Jet2’s training capacity would be decimated and pilots would be out of check very quickly which would cause major headaches. Mix the centres up a bit with different sim types at each site...

Weather wasn’t great at LBA. We only saw the lights at around 80ft onto 14 a couple hours before. I guess the crew thought if they end up carrying out a missed approach and then diverting, they are prolonging the issue. There was talk of a divert to Ireland somewhere but the wind wasn’t great...

It has been taken up I believe and brought to LBA attention! You’re right WH, we just can’t cope like other countries. Yes we don’t get it as often as other countries but the country just grinds to a halt. Take schools as an example. They’d never close for a full week back in my day. But these...

This might belong in the weather thread, the car parking thread or any number of others. But a mention about the freight area car park. It has been neglected by the airport to attempt any snow clearing and it is now subsequently an ice rink. On Sunday, staff turned up facing lengthy delays, to...

It’s still going to St Athan tomorrow at 1055, just not via LBA unfortunately.

Very tragic event. I’ve seen a video of a bird strike through the right engine so they’ve opted to go around. Totally my guess, but it seems they’ve then teardropped back in for an approach on the reciprocal runway. Possibly thought the other engine was failing so didn’t deploy the flaps to...

Yep, they stayed open for us last night! Thankfully we didn’t have to sit in a taxi from BHX!!

Absolutely nothing to do with the fact that Jet2’s CEO is from Leigh

2029!! 😬😳

Indeed it was! 2 idiots punching each other. Bulgarian cops aren’t to be messed with so they’ll be regretting it now!
