Just wondering if BA were planning on replacing any of their aircraft operating with BACitiexpress out of Manchester (such as the RJ-100)?

Well the ATP fleet are supposed to be being disposed off from MAN in nearish future in BACX"s pledge to make itself an all jet fleet although all 10 DHC8 will be based there

G MABR does whatever route BACX wants it to do but typical routes would be Nice, Brussels, Belfast, CDG, and some german routes

I think you'll find a lot of the ex MAN ATP crews are moving to Luton !
As for the rest RJ 100s will not be replaced until BACX starts making money. With the RJ that means never ! Or until BA has another type of aircraft they don't want lowering the tone in London. (LCY doesn't count !). DHC 8s at MAN until they can be got rid of and all ATPs in Scotland or IOM probably for disposal to the lowest bidder.
Happy Days.

Is this a spoof, the way or direction BACX is going I can't see what will be left to replace. If they target the main Euro routes only then they can use mainline A319 when they are replaced at LHR.

As one of 'the shafted'.. ATP crews have been F**ked around from A***hole to breakfast
1. IOM or GLA (enforced move).
2. "toured" from MAN, mostly IOM, in sub-standard hotels, 5 days on , 2 off, 5 days on.
3. Offered Dash courses, oh yeah, & there'll be a bond. (seen the pairings for DH3 winter prog - 4 nights in a row in different cities, mmmmmmm, where am I based again ???)
4. F**k this I'm off - The futures bright etc.. Alternatively Net Jets..
