Let's give Fly Globespan the benefit of the doubt after last summer's long haul fiasco. The dud planes have gone, their own planes are back from sub lease and experienced staff have been appointed to run the operation, let alone the new recruits at 'ground' level.
I believe Tom Dalrymple will be spending more time with the wife and letting the new guys turn the airline around. I expect they'll merge or be taken over by another airline before too much longer.

A merger is more than likely I'd think. Probably about time - however, it'll more than likely take the headquarters out of Scotland!

one wonders if it would generate enough passengers to fill a Globespan flight?
Todays March figures from BAA make grim reading indeed. :(

A retired travel industry operative who spends his time on many an internet forum doing his best to downplay any efforts by Glasgow Airport or associated airlines and businesses to promote or improve services and facilities for air travellers in the west of Scotland. He spends a lot of his days analysing BAA passenger statistics looking for little downturns at Glasgow to exploit and the rest of his time promoting all things 'Edinburgh or 'Edinburgh Airport', which in case you didn't know is apparently the centre of the known universe and the rightful, much maligned epi-centre of the Scottish aviation industry. Eh Joe ?

The guys over in the east can't stand the ground he walks on and The Scotsman newspaper is full of his garbage about hom much he hates Glasgow and how much he loves Edinburgh. He uses various guises in many forums but nowadays everyone knows who it is and ignores him. Chokingly childish and utterly pathetic!

/3HP[/quote] There was not a downturn on the flights my wife and I took to Malaga recently, the occupancy was about 98%. Crew were good and efficient.
Now I understand their long haul flights are atrocious, also no one will answer any e-mails,letters about complaints.
Airline forums crucify this airline and not without good reason
