Weather & Technical Diversions, Delays & Cancellations

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.

If DSA supporters continue to dish out the dirt on LBA at every opportunity you can't blame LBA supporters for hitting back . It's gone beyond a joke. Everything that happens at LBA would ' never have happened' at DSA. They have turned their 'Save DSA ' campaign into a ' Hate LBA' campaign, with apparently ex DSA staff who now work at LBA even making ridiculous claims.

If LBA are like most employers, they will have a social media policy, which if they follow normal standard wording, will have a statement about bad publicity for the company/reputational damage. I haven’t seen the comments, but if they are slanderous/bring the company’s reputation into question, then the individual may fall foul of disciplinary action.

They may not work for LBA but for Swissport, or Jet2. It was nothing that would breach such policies but allegedly questioning the number of bird strikes at LBA and suggesting they didn't have as many at DSA. As I've already pointed out, of course they didn't. LBA has considerably more aircraft movements than DSA ever had, so the risk of bird strikes is clearly greater. But it's just this 'It wouldn't have happened at DSA' nonsense that is getting people's backs up. Apparently DSA never had snow (they did), or fog (they did) or runway excursions ( they most certainly did!) or crosswinds ( they did) and various other events at LBA never would occur at DSA apparently. Making any money should perhaps be on their list!

I had every sympathy for the employees of DSA when it closed and they lost their jobs, and nobody likes to see an airport close, even if it was never needed in the first place. But, this anti LBA hate campaign is beyond ridiculous. The Save DSA lot should concentrate their efforts on their airport rather than constantly carping on about what goes on at LBA.

May I suggest we rise above the comments of DSA supporters and their claims and ignore them. As WH said, the saddest part of this is the number of people who lost their jobs. Hopefully, they have managed to find employment in aviation or other fields.
Please stick to LBA detail in this thread and may I suggest that if you want to discus DSA, then use the appropriate thread.

Thank you.

Or engage them on their own forum.

Swissport.

 

[Aviador]

They might not work for LBA but if they bring their own company into disrepute by saying silly things, then they still risk losing their job.

 

[White Heather]

Swissport.

Thought it would be. He or she will be itching to go back home to DSA where life will be far more leisurely .

Still out of service for the time being. After arriving from it’s test flight it was towed over to a remote stand where they’ve been working on it all day.

Also GDFO is again tech after arriving from Mahon which has caused a few delays this aft.

GDFO is having problem after problem, time to retire her I think.

Big delays on PMI and a Jet2 ALC today

Storms and Aircraft shortages due to some of the -300s being tech.

It could be a very challenging morning tomorrow at LBA if the latest TAF is anything to go by :

from 23 at 04 UTC to 23 at 07 UTC
Wind 43 kt from the West with gusts up to 53 kt

No doubt the local rag photographers will be up there as usual.
