Hi Bigpants
I think I see where you are coming from. But I was in BHX when the Scarebus arrived, and I don't remember it's reliability being too fantastic at the time!
As far as heavy landings are concerned, I guess you are referring to 'tail scrapes' which I believe involve mostly LCY.
Can't remember the last time I saw an airbus on the ramp there!
As I said, I think I see where you are coming from, just try to rise above it!
Incidentally Pontiuspilot, if BACX doesn't make money, how can it be cheaper OR more profitable than Mainline??!
