I was speaking to a couple who were going to Madeira yesterday from MAN and EZY cancelled the holiday whilst they were in the security queue.
They then booked to FUE from LBA today and had travelled from Wigan.

Well at least they, and you, got there. At MAN, many don't get near their flights. The CEO at MAN has resigned today.

I truly hope LBA can work away in the background and keep things calm and build a great reputation not by throwing bricks at MAN in its current crisis but doing things well enough to keep the adverse press at bay and that may just be the key to gaining more airline confidence and gaining more routes. Fingers crossed things do not go wrong over at Easter!

They are still recruiting more staff, and training up those already recruited, but it takes weeks to train them and get the security checks done on the prospective employees.
For once, the constraints of the LBA terminal may work in its favour, as it forces people to queue in an orderly fashion. The attitude and good humour if supervising security staff helps stop people from getting stressed and regular announcements would help too. No doubt the airport police will also be getting involved and ensuring that queuing is orderly and doesn't degenerate into a chaotic situation.

Maybe some entertainers to keep the kids happy would be a good idea.

Well right now, the kids, should be in school.

They broke up last week in Otley so I assume all Leeds schools are closed for next 2 weeks.

Ah ok. My neighbour is a teacher but in Menston, so Bradford Council and she is still working this week. Normally I would know as my daughter teaches in Otley, but is off on maternity leave.
I doubt though that at LBA there is even room for a children's entertainer. I can't see Happy the Clown going down too well somehow!

When do I start. A few dad jokes wont go amiss I am sure haha

 

[LBAYORKIE]

What a PR opportunity!

LBA as Yorkshires Gateway DAD joke is: Doncaster Always Delusional. My word my talents are wasted!!!!!!

 

[tonysmith]

Is that wasted as in drunk!!!!!

 

[Finger66]

@tonysmith you have clearly seen me on a night out then! And of course for LBA it would be Let’s Be Amusing

A thought could be limiting the number going security at once - so for example they scan 50 people through and pause for 5 minutes allowing those 50 to get through before allowing another 50 through. Yes your limiting the amount through, but it makes it easier to handle with the limited resource available.

You could also tell then this Bob Monkhouse one just to keep their spirits up -
“I'd like to die like my old dad, peacefully in his sleep, not screaming like his passengers”.

All security staff were friendly on Tuesday. Didn't see any police about.

Recovery of Business routes? Last week I flew LBA -BSL via AMS:
LBA-AMS EMB175 88pax full
AMS - BSL EMB175 88pax full
BSL - AMS EMB175 88pax Full
AMS - LBA EMB190 84pax Should have been EMB175 but I assume there was a bigger load the following morning to AMS.
I know that this is a very small statistical sample but this was the second week of 3 fights/day so there are signs of recovery with business travel.

 

[Seasider]

Sorry for the deviation, I've just realised this is the FlyeBe thread. Mods please move if appropriate.

Arrived at LBA at just after 4 this morning. Busy but orderly. Jet2 check in was very swift and then had fast track booked which worked fine. We were through by 0430. There were 3 scanners open with 1 for manly fast track. There were no hysterics and the queues were moving!
