Thanks for a great report.

I have seen the new aircraft at Manchester when passing through recently and i think they look great.

I noted your comments on T1 security which reminds me of a similar experience to yours in April this Year. My thoughts were "Oh no the Charter season has started" To make matters worse over 14 "Airline Staff" pushed directly in front of me at the "fast trach Business and First X ray machine. Well that was it I lost my patience!! One airline employee of JMC explained he had a flight to go to!!!! Did he think I was standing there for my health.

I spoke to the person in charge of security and said you either have aprioirity channel or not and if so then have one for staff as I do not wish to arrive with 2 hours to go before a flight due to the holidaymakers etc.

I think *A carriers should het together in that terminal and re instate the fast track line or they will simply loose business! can you imagine what it was like this weekend!

Anyway, thanks again for the report! I hope the bacon butties are nicer than the BA shuttle ones.
