B772 operating domestic ex LGW again
I see that G-YMMF operated todays (15/4/2011) BA2964/2965 LGW-GLA-LGW rotation today, quite an upgrade !!
No doubt another tech issue with a 734 at LGW, im guessing that the 5W A320 is off on lease to someone else and the 772 was the only spare knocking around, but does beg the question as to why BA have not got a proper spare aircraft at Gatwick currently

The summer schedule is now running, so no spare aircraft, unfortunately. In any case, it costs a lot of money havin a spare sitting around in the hangar.

Sometimes we get an A319 once a day now! The A319 is nice in CE but not as good in ET as your view gets pushed back and there is a bit of a fight to get the CE style seating which is usually only from rows 6-9!

BA need to increase this trend and include LHR-GLA too!
Have you any idea how hard it is to get a flight on either rotation since BD dropped it?
