BA Cityflyer
Possibly gone under the radar is the great increase in holiday flights Cityflyer's Embraer fleet are making this summer. I reckon they did 130 such round trips last week, a combination of schedules and charters, some from unlikely starting points such as Humberside or Isle of Man. Over 30 round trips to Ibiza, the most popular point, in a week, almost as many to Palma. There's even a classic overnighter late Friday departure from LCY to Malaga that rolls back just as they reopen on Saturday morning. It's a lot more extensive than just covering the weekend LCY closure time.
Not particularly what the crews (especially cabin) signed up for, is it ?

I recall being on a CityJet 146 which surprisingly departed for LCY from Dublin from the old short northern runway 29, now closed, which I had always regarded as just for small GA. When I looked it up, it was actually longer than LCY ...
