And if it had got subbed with a dash it would have taken 5 minutes longer rather than nordicas 45 minutes longer.

I thought subbing a crj with an atr was an odd choice

In the past i have known lot to sub a nordica crj with a lot 737 to tallinn

It seems to be a general thing, not just your embraer had a tech.

Also subbing a turboprop for a jet aircraft increases the time based on the distance. A short distance = roughly the same time, longer distance = longer journey time.

I believe they have been counting on adding some 73MAX to their fleet this year, which, of course, has not yet happened.

Makes sense, I notice it’s mainly E70/75 routes that either have wet leases on them or are temporarily suspended.

More Embraer's in a non-LCC config would be most welcome. The E70/E75 are some of their most comfortable aircraft.

It's despicable that a B737 has less legroom and narrower seats than a Crashy Dash. I endured row 1 this past weekend on SP-LWA and I have to declare those cabins as firmly LEGACY.

Perhaps the "premium" Dash that worldclubber referred to is convincingly legit.

Big black hair on the KRK lounge pasta salad. I suspect it came out of the kitchen with the foreign object in it as the bowl looked freshly prepared.

No ex-PM's were spotted today.

I get the feeling LOT agents come up with new excuses for not selling a valid connection with price, if it’s not all LO.

Talking of the crashy Dash. SP-EQF went tech in KRK yesterday with UC issues and ferried to WAW this morning. She hasn’t flown since.

This one has a very smelly toilet, it’s a got a weird metal panel they installed to try to mitigate the stink.

Last issue is on AVH

I’ve enjoyed a lovely dinner tonight, the Lallier has slipped down a treat. And I love a fancy. Who doesn’t love a fancy...

Talking of those delicious fancies, a legacy pax came into the premium zone, give a good gander over to the dragons desk to make sure it was clear and then scuttled off with unauthorised fancies back to the entry level lounge.

Fancy Theft.

Not sure why as those fancies are also available in the entry level lounge.

I sampled the chocolate pastry one in the entry lounge on Tuesday this week.

Unfortunately on this visit there was no beef cheek at either if the stations
