Anyway im off to bed, im shattered.

Good night to all those Primera Air passengers and all on FFA

 

[GliderPilot]

Ahh i dont know who to point the finger at anymore. Seems all that could've gone wrong has gone wrong

 

[Creguk]

Has it been cancelled?! Its gone from the departure board on the BHX website!

Gate closed so should (hopefully) be departing soon.

 

[Creguk]

Fair play!!

 

[GliderPilot]

Well a water arch is no good when you cant see it!

[mullion]

It`s on the move even if it is still on the ground

 

[mullion]

On its way

 

[GliderPilot]

Its in the air! Goodnight all

 

[Kevin Farnell]

Airborne 23.45

I guess the pax will arrive in daylight now.

[Ray Finkle]

Its in the air! Goodnight all

We've still got the return flight

In all seriousness I really hope that Primera can weather the storm for the next couple of months until the A321 arrives. If the early reviews are anything to go by things should improve dramatically

A couple of hours or so out of EWR -

Surprising how few westbound TATL flights there are at this time. I assume this would give Primera Air whatever favoured routing that they desire.

Just landed

Except that they are head on to all the e/b traffic which hopefully will have taken the favoured
route for them which won`t be the same as w/b

route for them which won`t be the same as w/b

The favoured routes for w/b and e/b will be different as the latter would try to take advantage of the jet stream, and the former will want to stay well clear.

 

[mullion]

I know that but if favourable routes are full other options have to be taken to avoid delays and if you look
at the route he took he was north of the east bound traffic but that doesn`t mean nothing else won`t be using
or crossing his planned route

Seems the return flight has just taken off from EWR so it appears to have had a smooth turn around state-side!
