Can anyone explain what on earth is happening in this airline and whether they have proper control over their schedule?
I was looking at a trip from Bristol up to Glasgow in November. Schedules are - as you'd expect - heavily cut back but the flights left make no sense whatsoever. Returning from Glasgow to Bristol on Fridays, there are two flights in the day. That's fine, but the first one is at 1620 and the second is at 1640. WTF? The winter schedules between Birmingham to Glasgow are equally atrocious. A little bit of digging and you then find that the fourth of what look to be four Glasgow-based aircraft is flying to Malaga at 1630 on Fridays and looks to have sat around all day before it does so. The dire schedules on the domestic trunk routes are simply inexplicable.
This has all the hallmarks of the commercial equivalent of an impending CFIT. Reductions in schedules are absolutely right and commercially prudent, but leaving a schedule in place which then will be useless to the average punter is surely going to make a bad situation even worse. I'd be selling my shares if I had any!
