V-Flyer

Morning,

Couple of interesting rumours on http://www.airliners.net/discussions/ge ... n/2533229/

Man - jfk on a 346 [?] but more exciting is the prospect of gla - mco. [^]

Probably nothing in them, but brightened up my coffee break. [:w]

Yes, interesting.

Given the source, I would suggest a pinch of salt for the moment. However I have never let the reliability of the source get in the way of a good rumour before!

I only got a 3 day ban AFAIR, unlike some others I could mention[y]

Very interesting ... i wonder the likelyhood of all those extra MCO flights? and the MAN-JFK flight?

Although ... this tidbit is interesting ...

6 New A340-600s this year:
G-VYOU (eBay auction for name)
G-VBLU Soul Sister
G-VHIP TBA
G-VFIZ Bubbels
G-VWIN Lady Luck
G-VFIT Dancing Queen

Oooh i hope they are keeping VHIP for me!! Will be interesting to see what VYOU ends up being christened.

Doesn't matter about the Route - The Long Bird at MAN sounds like another dip in the back pocket!

I thought the Auction was to have your name at the front of the aircraft rather than actually have the name? Am I wrong? Also if I am wrong I also understand that the Auction was only to allow your name for 1 year, so that means that they will be changing the name of the Aircraft which I understand is incredibly bad luck.

The plane name is the name at the front of the aircraft, so whatever the winning bidder requested will go on the front of the plane, and will be what the plane is referred to

I also understand that the Auction was only to allow your name for 1 year

Yes, a year only. It would have been worth it if the christening were permanent. Still, im sure someone out there is a happy chappy to have their name on VYOU

As a side, i wonder what G-VYOU will be called when the year is up? With such an interesting registration the mind boggles.

I would love to see GLA-MCO, or any VS route from GLA.

I would of thought that VS would be more interested in starting a LHR-ORD route again before anything more to JFK

And that should go to show that no good can come from trolling a well run forum

For the naming competition, I think that not only should you get your chosen name, but also yourself (inside the aircraft, obviously!):D
UC travel all the while your name is up there?[:p]
