I have also heard that they may be using their own 738

Something to do with Monarch and a cheeky Geordie Duo?

Won't this create a crewing issue as I'm sure the LBA crew can only operate on a c reg aircraft.

Yes that flight is a training flight for all the cabin crew, not sure if all the Sunwing pilots go though? The reason I think it is Sunwing flight deck is to do with the aircraft being C reg. Same reason for why the cabin crew all need re training.

Correct there Aviador, Thomson cabin crew, Sunwing flight deck

They do have their own engineers based at LBA but they had to get a couple of engineers up from Luton to do a temp fix on the aircraft until it can get to Manchester or Luton. Monarch don't have much of an engineering facility here yet. I've heard they are getting a cabin next to jet2 at stand...

Your right there white heather, and with the planned solution, passenger throughput is supposed to be quick and smooth but in my opinion, we are still going to see large queues for csz. I hope I'm wrong but with increased passengers figures for this summer compared to last, i dont see an...

Only what I have already said. We discussed it at work today and yesterday. The 6th scanner would be in place for may, the 5th for Easter. Like you say, the extra equipment will only be used during peak times, much like the existing equipment is. I have noticed the 4th machine has been needed a...

Only one additional scanner planned for Easter, and that is planned for a last minute install. I'll correct my earlier post as they are only working with 3 awtmd's at the moment. Extensions of the rollers on the scanners were put in today giving the security team even less room to work in.

At the moment security are still running with the same amount of x ray machines and awtmd's. I did get told today when the additional equipment will arrive but I've forgotten already....hard day haha. The current lay out looks to me like its reduced the work space for the security team to work...

3 different companies mentioned to me yesterday that they've been told that its been delayed!

As far as I was led to believe, the new lane will be for arrow taxi's only. No buses, coaches or other private hire vehicles. I would assume they would stick to what they do now

Ah my bad, I've read so much on here recently

I have been told today that from April next year, BA have canceled the 1st flight if the day. Source was reliable but I have not checked the booking system

Beat me to posting the link Aviador. It really gets my back up when people start to complain about the security staff. If you follow Aviador's link, you can see the "dimwit" was doing as he was trained.
