Thanks Adrian. I've been called out to operate LGW-MAD-LGW as a subcharter for them this afternoon but hadn't got a clue what to call myself on the radio!

Subcharters are very common and also one of the reasons I love doing charter as they make our work very varied.
In the end it turned out that we were only carrying passengers (only 190 passengers) to Madrid and then bringing the aircraft back empty. It also transpired that Air Plus Comet do the flight for Aerolineas Argentinas as it ties up with a 747-200 ar Madrid which is then bound for Buenos Aires, so it is all completed under an 'Argentina' callsign. Thanks very much for your help though Saab.
Unfortunately once we got to Madrid we heard about a technical problem with one of our aircraft in Tenerife so we had to then go MAD-TFS and then TFS-LGW. Got home very tired at 0700 instead of 0030 and I'm in the sim at 0200 tonight. Yuck.

So Argentinas are not operating the MD-80 into LGW anymore? Shame.
