WWW,
on this occasion I am afraid Cardiff has lost out to Teeside and the word from all the crews says it is to do with staffing and the inability to have enough aircraft to supply all the routes.
I know Baby on many routes has almost if not an 100% load factor, OK as Merchant Venturer says that does not necessarily mean profitable but apart from a couple of routes which are being dropped they are apparently doing extremely well out of Cardiff and the hope before the entry of Teeside into the Equation was to introduce a 4th Aircraft into Cardiff .
We have been told that they hope to return the third aircraft and hopefully increase the Fleet further in the future, but this is really sending out all the wrong signals.
