I am quite easily pleased but if we want to see recovery (post Covid - post Flybe - post almost everything else) then some foresight has to be in the business plan surely?
I have tried again and again to use my local airport and to support it but to no avail.
Times have obviously changed since DC-9's were gracing the skies. Shouldn't you be taking your complaint up with the Hire Car companies rather than the Airline? What do you expect Eastern to do, change their flight times to suit Hire Car companies opening hours, making routes less business friendly? Or paying the hire companies to stay open just on the off chance that someone wants to hire a car in the middle of a global pandemic?
