Well, at least Teeside is getting some good news. Ha! Famous for the soggy cheese sandwich on a rainy day sitting on the flight deck. I bet those Ryanair pilots just can't wait. Double Gloucester or Cheddar c'tain?

Relatives of yours Benji Boy?

""With air travel at other major European airports recovering faster, ministers should reassess testing requirements for fully vaccinated passengers and the passenger locator form at the next Global Travel Taskforce review to ensure the UK is aligned with its European competitors," it said."

This is my opinion, the testing is holding back many travellers. Until it is gone, restoration of pax numbers will not happen.

Good or bad? Do I dare even read the story?

Hexam, brokers have private meetings with the companies where more intimate and detailed information is given that allows them to formulate commentaries to be shared through news services. It is a fundamental part of the system and the role of brokers and the private briefings is referred to in the LSE rules on disclosure. iis always have better information and earlier than pis. Yes, it is speculation, but given how the decline continues it can hardly be scaremongering to consider the point. Something is pulling the sector down. So what is it? Is it something within the broker briefings? Is it something to do with the economy? Could it be that the airlines expect limited growth due to staffing and pilot issues?

It is now under 169 as I type. I suppose that is thanks to my 'scaremongering' then?

Although this US news, I wonder if the US news is leading to iis extrapolating to the UK/EU market. The problem holding back airlines being a staffing issue. It seems across the board huge chunks of the workforce have simply disappeared and can't even be re-hired having vanished into thin air! This wasn't expected post pandemic. Is this the issue which is keeping the iis algorithms sitting on the sp?

There is some piece of information out there which is not getting through to pi level. Brokers keeping something close to their chest form the private meetings. It is sector wide. Green end today on the back of GDP not having crashed but still having legs has not been responded to much.

What predictions? I have cited possible issues. I never predicted a RI, I simply quoted those with standing who said there needed to be one or it was likely, and a 95% probability rating based on that and the fact all other airlines were doing that. And I kept saying until otherwise stated form the company the probability remained. That is not 'getting it wrong' that is laying down my own criteria and sticking to it until things fall within my criteria, speaking of which not far to go for a 170 punt. Seems market not interested in GDP or T5 pax data. SOmething much larger weighing on the share.
And cop26 was a very real worry, there are extremist groups make very draconian proposals to restrict air travel with individual quotas. They haven't succeeded this time around, as far as we know. It is my criteria to be risk averse around that kind of talk.

Now I'm going to have to put you on filter too sundenza. You perpetually twist, lie, redraft and generally post highly deceptive posts about what I may or may not have said, predicted or otherwise. Your whole tone is that of a child and there have been a number of moments based on your posts where I have wondered if I am talking to a child. On that basis I am not sure it is correct to have any further dialogue with you. Otherwise you are a very immature person and not worth my time.

And on and on you go with the pigeon holing and false caricature. I have little interest in Easy J prospects, except one single item. Will it be the subject of a takeover in the next few months leading to a sudden spike and very decent profit. Nothing else. Meanwhile I keep my eye on IAG for signs of BA being spun off or volatility for some quick day trading. I continue to call out all the mad crazy over the top hysterical ramping and give qualified responses. Otherwise I comment on factors in the 360 that can affect the sp in sometimes discounted ways. That 360 strategy has served me well in the past.

That little crumb of comfort you hang on to. That the Easy J sp dips lower or faster. Why the focus on Easy J? Exactly, your whole orientation is against a person and nothing to do with commenting on a share or company performance.

I will reiterate, The Easy J share price is completely irrelevant, whether it goes, or goes down for the time being. I hold a large wadge for one purpose only, and that is to be in position ahead of potential takeover rumours or announcement. Qantas is an airline!!!! Can't remember what price I added but it hasn't moved much since so it is of no consequence. It is being traded along with the rest of the airlines as a block and some days it will outstrip the others and some it won't. Qantas is an airline just in case you were wondering!!!!

I think the rhetoric leading up to cop26 became so extreme it over played the hand trying to bounce everybody into a panic response and has resulted in more pushback than panic forward. The more zealous and extreme ideas have thankfully not got onto the public agendas, this time! This cop process was a real danger so far averted. But a lot of very serious impositions remain including the disastrous forced ending of fossil fuel cars within only 8 years. That will destroy our society and so will the huge transfer of wealth payments from western to third world. Pure socialism has been implemented with no consent by any electorate. Long term prospects are looking very bleak for all sectors of the economy unless this one-sided hysteria is confronted.

That's interesting Glennhoss, you mark those who are not a part of the ramp fest as 'ruining' the bb. That is a biased opinion.

Again, for those that just want a one sided echo chamber go and set up on ADVFN where you will have the power, without subscription, to set up a chat room where YOU are the moderator and can exclude to your heart's content anybody that doesn't agree with you.

LSE is an open chat room, one per listed share. If you can not tolerate people not agreeing with you, it is not for you.

You may get your first green/blue day for a while. GDP figures not bad, ambush on airlines avoided at cop26. I expect a 'sigh of relief' form the market. Still not the range or volatility to qualify day trading yet for me.

Northscot Definitely working to cause trouble. Was he drafted in? Just a baiting troll, I'm going to filter.
Arguing over RNS or financial interpretation is one thing. But just setting out to wind up people up is a waste of time.

The mask debate is an interesting one, some interesting revelations when stones are over turned.

I'm not sure about Trump fighting for freedom form a soviet invasion. Not sure I said that. I meant that we have a new world order, very much like the old soviet system where instead of debate, we have very one sided narratives imposed by mass media certainly not by politicians. In fact one of my gripes is the way politicians have given up setting the narrative and just play to the gallery, the gods of TV as I call them. Covid gave them a new god to play to, 'the science' as if there is an absolutist answer there. Couple of days ago a BCC senior correspondent was marking the removal of balanced reporting on the climate change debate as a victory. Now they have backed themselves into a corner and are obliged to keep repeating claims that don't even stand up to the most elementary challenge form real science. Rather like this bb where contrary opinion is forbidden and constant efforts to exclude it are underway. A mirror on a number of mainstream debates. We are living through an age of mass hysteria mostly mass media led because there is no checks and balance against mass media in the same way we have in the democratic institutions. If mass media says up is down, then that is the new way of things and there is no debate on the matter.

Wobbly, https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/do-masks-stop-the-spread-of-covid-19-

Singapore had a track and trace app already in existence due to previous SARS outbreaks. It was that that helped and of course, total border closure.

What has been interesting, in looking for the reference again, I have posted a reference as the study was just published. The amount of so called 'fact checking' articles since is a real eye opener with many of them completely changing the whole basis of the research. A lot of distinguished people jumped on the mask lobby bus and put their names to it as a fundamental fact for pandemic control. The extent of the kick back by the mask lobby is quite a lesson in being very careful about accepting what appear to be authoritative answers. The Danish study very clearly rattled a few cages. This helps understand why it has been such an uphill struggle to get the real truth of the mask in the public domain and policy changed. Remember, at the very start of the pandemic, the immediate advise was not to use them as they would be potential spreaders of the virus. The mask became an anti-Trump statement and then the WHO kicked back at Trump's attacks on their poor handling of the pandemic and defence of China, so mask wearing became WHO policy and that was used to impose it around the world. For it to be shown that mask wearing was a bad negative thing, well that would prove Trump was originally correct to oppose it, and in the new soviet world order, that is just not allowable. So we end up with the narrative on masks as it has been, with the slow quiet partial backpedaling as to not raise to many questions.

Yes, for many mask wearing is an imposition. And there is a widespread understanding that not only are most designs ineffective, there is a significant issue they may have been the 'superspreaders' where heavily contaminated masks were touched by hand, then surface and then another touches surface and their own face. A great comment was made on the back of a significant Danish study earlier in the year. People needed a comfort blanket, so they were given one. The mask then turned out to be not as innocent a comfort blanket but it took many months before the decision to backpedal was taken in June. Those losing their comfort blanket and the established busy body mask lobby went into overdrive and still keep trying to wrestle back control. If there is ever a true honest review of the mask wearing, it will probably recommend not to deploy them amongst the general public next pandemic. Giving way to th comfort blanket was an error.
