Would that work? Hardly any BACF aircraft do not overnight at LCY. While the issue with the time difference between the UK and the continent is an explanation for that, making morning services starting at the UK end somewhat impractica, it is mostly down to the lack of demand for early morning flights from LCY to most destinations. Is the IOM market that different? If not, it might be more sensible to have the aircraft overnighting at IOM instead of shuttling a lot of hot air from LCY to IOM in the mornings. The other question for me is what the future holds for the Embraer 170 at BACF. Can't we expect that BACF will have a standardized Embraer 190 fleet sooner than later? (which would not rule out bringing in another operator with an Embraer 170 just like Eastern before)
