logic????

Also some forum members seem a little coy over their info sources???

When taken in context my comment stands on its own. As for sources and being coy..... you dont spend 36 years and counting in the forwarding industry without making good contacts. You keep those contacts by not revealing them. I am not the only one on this forum with this sort of contacts and I have no problems or issues in keeping people's confidences.
 
Might’ve been jumping the gun as the original post i saw that suggested the reduction on a certain social media page has been edited now, but its certainly put me on edge

Yield's are not good. Fill the evening A380 then save 30t or so on fuel per trip and make extra money on freight by going back to the 777 on the afternoon.

That would certainly explain it.

Can't argue with that. However someone said they'd seen this information too, suggesting it is out there in the public domain. Reminds me of a time a while back when everyone was kept guessing about a new development (might have been Primera's arrival) by two or three people in the know. A member called something like user002 appeared declaring that that info too was public domain if you knew where to look. So it does appear there are public sources which some people don't want to mention for whatever reason. Perhaps it's a porno site ;)

I saw a post on one site (and answered the comment in the same vein as shown on this site), and the post has now vanished! I do not know what contacts other people have (nor do I wish to). All I know is that there are certain things said to me by various people which I keep under my hat until it has become public knowledge and then I will make my thoughts known. I am firmly of the belief that whilst yes the 039 / 040 has been downgraded from an A388 to a B773, that this is something which can be considered to be a good thing for both BHX and freight agents in particular. Cargo does not mind which aircraft type carries it to final destination as long as it gets there when required. The change in aircraft type means that we can get a lot more away each day than we can at the moment.

I'm sorry if it seemed I was accepting Big Vern's explanation and not yours. I'm sure you both know far more about the airline industry than me, so as far as I'm concerned what you both said is equally valid.

survived a redundancy scenario where I work for the 3rd time. Now it looks likely I will get to cover work for 2 other teams.. Pretty please for a payrise? That would be a no and so stay on the min wage.

Well it looks like I'm off to Australia and New Zealand next year! Booked with BA from Manchester via Heathrow with a stop in Singapore and returning with Air New Zealand and BA via LAX to Heathrow. Will circumnavigate the globe and be my first trans-Pacific flight. First long haul flight with BA as well and of course Air NZ.

15 years at the same company was reached the weekend before last. Not sure how they will mark the occasion apart from the compulsory payirse to minimum wage (1st rise for 2 years; i was 15% above it back then!)
