They are now paying for their incompetence and unfortunately it is not looking good for Stansted as well. I am surprised that the CAA have not got involved, but maybe they have.
And if they'd put back the start, what then? The same "social media warriors" whinging bitterly; frankly having made the decision to start when they did they were / are damned if they do, and damned if they don't.
With 20 / 20 hindsight (a talent in abundance on these threads) they'd have hit the ground running from STN and BHX in June, but they didn't.
