Default Utrolig bra av AirTran

Fra airliners.net:

British Airways was in a precarious spot today in ATL when their 777 that was to operate Flight 2226 to LGW went tech. The plane would have to be ferried out of ATL leaving 160 pax behind. Looking for any kind of relief, British Airways customer service contacted AirTran to check on availability out of ATL to one of the other cities that British serves in the US. Rather than offer them seats, we did one better....we offered them an airplane. AirTran Flight 6206 will operate ATL-IAD with a 717 carrying 117 pax and their bags to connect with a British Airways flight to LHR. AirTran staff in IAD was able to secure Gate D-25 in IAD which I believe is right next to where British Airways departs from. This is the first time in recent memory that we have had another airline charter one of our aircraft.

Så det eksisterer fortsatt litt spirit i bransjen. Antar at de tar seg godt betalt, men likevel neppe noe Ryanair hadde gjort. På den annen side, hvem ville egentlig spurt Ryanair..? :

Vi ble spurt om det samme for et halvt aars tid siden da BA hadde teknisk her .. den gangen var det snakk om aa faa 150-200 pax opp til Vancouver. Desverre hadde vi ikke fly i omraadet som kunne ta jobben ... tror de endte opp med busser ...

Buss til Vancouver er ikke morsomt... Positivt at de prøver slik som dette... Tror pax`n blir veldig fornøyd - alternativet er jo å vente på tekniker, ny del eller begge deler...

ikke så ofte Ryanair har fly på flyplasser hvor store operatører befinner seg så det skjer nok ikke

Pluss at i BA`s tilfelle var jo ikke AirTran eller ATA noen konkurrent... Da kan man godt la disse selskapene tjene litt penger...
