I know that sometimes we all get fed up with our bosses and companies we work for, but this thread

Scares me a little!
How much is true I do not know.

Wow, don't think I will be flying with them anytime soon!:scared: The unsafe plane bit is very worrying.

[Susan Veness]

I don't quite know what to think about that. Obviously there is a serious problem with cabin crew, but I do also wonder if 'Fire Ball One' and 'Fire Ball Two' is a bit of mechanics humour, or if it's really that serious. I wouldn't think ANY airline would send up planes that are known to be unsafe. I wonder if it's a bit of cabin crew venting for dramatic effect. If it isn't, they shouldn't just be posting it on an internet board, they should be contacting the TSA. Not to do so would be criminal. Lives are at stake, and if the crew KNOW the planes are unsafe, they're every bit as much at fault if something (god forbid) happens.

It seems that FlyGlobespan are drawing in their flights and bases. Liverpool, Aberseen and stansted have been closed, now Manchester has been added to the list. very sad for the crews being laid off.

[Simon Veness]

Very poor management, by the sounds of it. You really fear for their other operations, including the Glasgow-Sanford route, if they don't get their act together soon.

Wow!! dont know what to make of this ,are Globespan safe? find it hard to believe that people actually think this about an airline if this is true this is an accident of huge proportions waiting to happen:angry: i just hope this is a case of a crew member being unhappy ,dont know what to make of it, have been looking to book a return visit to Orlando with Globespan next year and have recommended them to friends all because of the price they offer :eek:

I really feel for the crews who are possibly losing there jobs as I would for anyone losing there jobs but I would like not to think that there is a problem with there aircraft.They will have fully trained professional engineers and pilots who will certainly not be flying a plane if they think they will not be getting off at the other end to see there nearest and dearest.
Flyglobespan do have there troubles,they work to a low cost model and if one planes go tech that model would not allow a leased aircraft to be brought in for one off flights so they will always have delays as aircraft and airlines work under strict regulations an if the aircraft goes tech for whatever reason it cannot fly.
There flight from Scotland to the costas and beyond are very popular and generally you here nothing but good things about them.I had slight problems with my flights in May which as you all know I cancelled and got a full refund with no hassle:happy-smi .They have been so far a kick up the behind that the big boys needed and it is definately the reason why Virgin have started scheduled flights from Glasgow during the peak season and Thomson are offering nothing at all for Summer 2008.
The routes from Airports south of the border could not have been profitable so therfore they have to tighten there belts which unfortunately leaves people out of a job and quite rightly with a bitter taste in there mouth

shocking really isnt it.

BUT exactly how much of this is actually true.


On the airline subject - read this - quite funny i think

My flight was being served by an obviously gay flight attendant, who
seemed to put everyone in a good mood as he served passengers food and drinks.

As the plane prepared to descend, he came swishing down the aisle and
told em that "Captain Marvey has asked me to announce that he'll be landing
the big scary plane shortly, so lovely people, if you could just put your
trays up, that would be super."

On his trip back up the aisle, he noticed this well-dressed and rather
Arabic looking woman hadn't moved a muscle. "Perhaps you didn't hear me
over those big brute engines but I asked you to raise your trazy-poo, so
the
main man can pitty-pat us on the ground."

She calmly turned her head and said, "In my country, I am called a
Princess and I take orders from no one."

To which (I swear) the flight attendant replied, without missing a beat,

''Well, sweet-cheeks, in my country I'm called a Queen, so I outrank you.
Tray-up, *****."
