Next summer isn’t a given despite indications as In TUI land Scotland lags well behind the remainder of their U.K. operation. As previously stated it’s on record that aircraft may well be relocated elsewhere. Despite having booked a holiday for next June from GLA I’m under no illusions it could easily be cancelled, rerouted or deferred again to an alternative date.

That said I’m still supporting GLA with a MAH departure planned for late Sep.

In regards to my comment on the Virgin Atlantic Post on Facebook, someone who must be on here, has indicated I have a hatred of Scotlands East Coast and anything positive that comes of it and I'm well known for it, firstly, Glasgow is my airport, always has, always will be, so when things go east, of course I'm going to get angry, and secondly if you know me as well as you claim to, my aunt lives in the East Coast of the country, albeit further north.

At the end of the day, 99% of us are here for Glasgow and the surrounding area and get hurt when things like Thursdays news brought.

Bill, Clive, remove this post if you wish but I am standing my ground on this

No need to remove the post mate, you're quite right to stand your ground.

Best thing you can do, awwdabaaby, is to book a flight from GLA.

Looking forward to flying out of GLA again in a couple of weeks, currently scheduled to be a first A320Neo for me 😀

I know who the troll is. He’s a relic from the old days and still active in EGPH Forum and around the fence at EDI.

He is not in here so don’t worry about that, John.

He has a case of mistaken identity.

On the FB post, he thinks you are someone else, someone who was equally as notorious as himself back in the day. I can name names in private.

I directly responded to their CEO expressing my anger and disgust as a loyal passenger who used the service every year and saw it grow to four 747 flights a week at it’s peak (2000 seats a week) with about 70%-75% from the West of Scotland, this loyal customer felt insulted by their claim that this was a New Service and an exciting new chapter for the Scottish customers, I pointed out that they were in fact reducing the capacity by up to 75% and that had I proposed such a strategy to my employers I would have been dismissed. As an ex loyal passenger I also highlighted the Edinburgh IS NOT SCOTLAND!
There is an opportunity for other carriers to step in here, I have used Icelandair at times and been very satisfied with their service, of course Aer Lingus via Dublin provide pre customs clearance at Dublin and a domestic arrival at Orlando.
I see that Ferovial appointed Lysa Scully as a consultant, with her previously being the CEO of La Guardia perhaps we may be given the opportunity of using her many contacts in the aviation world.

I got a reply from them stating that my comments were submitted to the Executive committee and also was told that the move would provide Scotland with a great opportunity!!
I responded that the reply was as expected and that Edinburgh was not Scotland!
