basically the staff are now backing up reports that the airlind like to push the boundaries with regard to passenger safety

The programme certainly made for interesting viewing.

According to Flyglobespan all of the problems have now been righted. So hopfully you should be ok.

not very reassuring.i cant believe they would fly across the atlantic without all safety equipment.this has made us feel very concerned indeed.did it mention flights to florida or was it canada/boston.if i recall florida flights particulary from glasgow were ok.

I'm flying with them next year, this makes me feel just peachy!! I'm a nervous flyer at the best of times

wish they were a bit more upfront about stories like these.a positive statement from them on their website for instance would be a litlle more reassuring.but you get silence.lets just hope that no news is good news.

You really need to check out thedibb.com pprune.com and cabincrew.com for Globespan. some of the posts are extremely worrying.

Apparently the majority of the florida flights this year were done using leased aircraft and crews from Neos. Only this month did they go back to their own planes and crew which are supposed to be running next year as well... Hmmm.

cabincrew.com have some interesting staff quotes. As do other forums... Watchdog have only scratched the surfcae by the looks of it.

my god.its enough to make you want to cancel your holiday.i cant believe its thats bad.would they be allowed to continue in business otherwise.surely customers would be protected from this.
