Yup and anyone who knows the INV-London market should have been able to see that running this for a short window in winter would only end one way. You must know your market.

You suggest that an airline dedicate an aeroplane to peak time flying to a borderline UK regional airport from a high cost business friendly airport like LCY, but need to consider what that aeroplane...

As predicted, LCY is going to be "difficult". It's far from clever to launch a new route that doesn't even last a single season before getting axed. The whole LCY venture appears to be a licence to...

Why not use LCY for point to point? English domestic to London is a very tricky market. LBA got LHR but it's tenuous even with connections, MAN lost LCY when the West coast mainline was fixed, MME is...

The only think more commercially risky than going head to head with the BA Exec club flying a better product at the same price out of East London would be using an old RAF base in West London with no...

Nah it just makes the competitve route at LCY much busier. The Piccadilly Line from LHR is bad enough without having a go on the Central Line to Northolt. No one flies destinations split by p2p and...

Going onto the sun routes puts them into the EZY market out of Gatters and FR out of BOH, so niche out of SOU on an under utilised Embraer is different from leasing an Airbus to do similar. IMHO.

Aplogies. I just assumed you knew what I meant in terms of MAN, my bad. It was of course BA but the point is, it was a staff shuttle with little profitable revenue flowing in. Sorry about the head,...

No, the point is the runway is really short and you need the smaller aeroplane with the higher power to weight ratio if you want to fly out of there commercially. Hence ERJ170 and not 175 and ERJ190...

How do they plan on making any money with fares significantly lower? The DHC8-Q400 is not one for loco fares once you add up the taxes.

That's it, shout at the fifteen year old who dares to question. Loved the condescending use of "son", well done.

Now, back on point, who's going to be flying the Embraers if not flybe pilots?...
