Overheard today at work from an Islandsflug Engineer at PIK (Globespan Maintenance Engineer): "Air Atlanta are planning to create a maintenance base at PIK to complement Polar and Ryanair in 2004". Does anyone have any more news on this?? This is horse's mouth stuff as I personally handed over an AOG aircraft part to said engineer for a downed aircraft in Liege. By the way: Said Icelandic engineer remarked on his quality of life working at Prestwick and was not looking forward to his new tenure at claustrophobic Paisley/Glasgow. "What a shame" was his words!! Back to top eurogen Guest Posted: Sat Sep 13, 2003 7:47 am    Post subject: Re: Air Atlanta PIK Base? Said Icelandic engineer remarked on his quality of life working at Prestwick and was not looking forward to his new tenure at claustrophobic Paisley/Glasgow. "What a shame" was his words!! Obviously he is a lover of wide open spaces, peace and tranquility, all available at PIK in abundance.Or maybe hes a bit nervy about working at a real airport! What was the full quote from him anyway? Something like " What a shame that the North American a/l, which is tieing in with FlyGlobespan at GLA, think PIK is an outdated, pre-historic airport" ?

"What a shame" was his words!! Well Prestwick itself is a nice place and the coastline is really nice in the summer. Quote: Obviously he is a lover of wide open spaces, peace and tranquility, all available at PIK in abundance. Yes lots of space. I remember going too some of the airshows at PIK, it certainly was a good day out. Quote: Or maybe hes a bit nervy about working at a real airport! I have seen this sort of thing before and maybe he is going too work harder/be watched over more. Quote: What was the full quote from him anyway?

Well PIK is needing money spent on it and I believe that they are planning too sort it out and at the same time sell off their railway station as Mr Wilson does not want to pay for the £50,000 pounds of improvements which are needed for the pax.
