Is this how the airline plans to make money, cancelling schedules and giving priority to charter work which is probably more lucrative?
They surely made a commercial decision based on loads. Painful yes but have been on many a flight with single digit passenger numbers. Reputation wise it is not wise but I imagine they're on cut throat margins, like most domestic airlines these days (I surmise)
