Day 3 in the Flightglobal editor's chair

Well today was kind of half in the chair and half in my "normal" Airline Business chair as there has been a lot of preparation going on for next week's ALTA Latin American Airline Leaders Forum, writes stand-in Flightglobal editor Mark Pilling.

In a couple of days we will put up a landing page full of Latin airline material plus the Airline Business Dailies that we will produce for the forum.

The half of the Flightglobal chair I occupied today was dominated by metal news. By that I mean stories that feature new aircraft metal:

* The continuation of Boeing's 747-8 delay news

* The roll out of Gulfstream's G250

* The first flight of Lufthansa's first Airbus A380.

I think the picture I found to illustrate Mike Targett's chair is from Big Brother. Pretty cool isn't it. Shame it isn't really the Flightglobal editor's chair - now there's a thought.
