lookjng at flightstats for BA1/2 SNN-JFK legs it shows 3 cancellations and 11 'excessive' delays out of last 94 departures. Thought from here it would have had more cancellations for some reason

And now computer is saying no - although the number of bags and customers is correct, the system is falling to cope with the change in original destination and causing issues. New ETD is 20:00. I'm assuming most of you aren't that interested anymore but I'm going to carry on posting until we take off. So there! ;-)

And 178 from JFK this morning was cancelled, must be a jinx on the 170's today. Omba minor very glad of the silver partner card I gifted him, 7 hours in lounge so far, 7 to go.

This brings back memories of flying MaxJet to IAD. They had 2 old 757 out of STN, one to DC and one to NY. If anything went wrong with the aircraft, they were screwed.
I have long wondered how long BA could run 2 A318s seamlessly on that service.
We have a similar [nautical] problem with our new, larger, Condor Fast-Ferry from UK to JER [which replaced 2 slightly smaller ones] ... there is no backup when things go wrong. And, Boy, have they gone wrong since Condor Liberation entered service a fortnight ago >>> http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-euro...rnsey-32323935
