Angry Lights go out on Fraggle Rock

Company meeting tomorrow night on the Rock to confirm the last person to leave the IOM to remember to switch off the lights.
The latest masterplan from de la Fosse and his minions involves closing the IOM as a base, making around thirty pilots - if not redundant (all fairly senior) - then at least facing mainland relocation. The real joke comes with the service continuity.
The Manchester routes will still be operated, albeit from Manchester WITH NIGHTSTOPPING CREWS!!! Lots of cost savings there then!
The London route to LGW will be operated in reverse by an EOG 737, again with nightstopping crews. Meanwhile the 146 boys have to move across as well.

Tragedy, shameful. These fly by night management types, no commitment to the Company, here today gone (back to mainline) tomorrow, no responsibility, just a desire to make their hard man management marks prior to their next little niche
