0bserver Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Strange advert from Loganair. How are they checking their 'Manx' crew? Are they checking birth certificates for all parents and grandparents over 15 generations to make sure they're Manx to the Max? At least it would stop any misunderstanding due to having a non-Manx accent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamon Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Unlike SleazyJet, some crew employed are Manx residents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s more likely to be aimed at Flybe, who are now flying to Heathrow in competition. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give me some examples of how the bureaucracy and hierarchy stopped you doing things to improve the airport. A. Well look at the promenade, nsc flumes, mention any airport issues, hospital, dhsc etc...the list goes on. Then it becomes 'not me guv it's them CS' Edited October 3, 2022 by snowman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how much of the actions we're seeing now (such as the Sunday closing for incident training) are due to Cobb looking at the paperwork and seeing that all sorts of thing that should have been done or reported, haven't been done, possibly for years. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes because that should be his top priority FFS. The flower beds on Douglas Prom looked ace while the rest of it went to shit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are not far wide of the mark, however the new director probably has only a peripheral involvement in this particular shit show ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asitis Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 Not a great time of year to sabre rattle with 21 ......... S-SW 25-30, gusting 35-40, decreasing 20-25, occasionally 30 this afternoon, then backing S or SW this evening. Increasing 25-35, gusting 40-45 overnight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no logistical connection between the terminals in which Loganair arrives and BA departs, I was told it just isnt compatible with the BA baggage system at T5 (bulk vs containerised). I'm happy to stand corrected if it now works. But yes you can book a through ticket. Did the BA to loganair connection a few days ago at LHR It was a single ticket bought on BA website with the initial sector on BA landing at T5 and the second flight on Loganair to the IOM with a BA number At checkin for my initial flight the BA / contracted agent managed to check in my bags all the way to the IOM but was unable to generate a boarding pass for the LHR IOM sector So I landed in LHR and stayed airside and used the shuttle train to get to flight connections and then a airside bus to get to T2 At T2 you first need to go through security ( even if you don't have a boarding pass then will let you in if you show your itinerary (also don't forget the liquids rule ) After security follow signs to flight connection and security staff will give you a slip of paper that you cleared security. Then you pass through border control and enter T2 departures lounge . While most airlines have transfer desks where you can get a boarding pass loganair doesn't have one airside . There was no information desk at T2 either. So you need to wait till your gate is announced and collect your boarding pass at the gate. Also remember to show them the baggage receipts of the bags that you initially checked in so that they are all linked in loganair In summary 1.. keep a printout of your e ticket ( can show on mobile) but easier if its a printout as multiple people need to see it 2. If planning to stay airside then remember that the liquids rule still applies 3. Keep your baggage receipts from when you check in the bags at the start of the trip PS: one potential issue is whether you can shop / use the lounges at T2 departures as you are without a boarding pass till you get to the gates If you really want one you need to contact loganair who will give you a loganair reference number for fhe same trip This is different from the BA one . You can use the loganair reservation number and surname and manage your booking and generate a mobile boarding pass. This can be used for lounge access etc if you are eligible. I'm not 100% sure whether they insist on a boarding pass or whether an itinerary alone is fine . Edited October 4, 2022 by mad_manx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
