Hmmmm.

1. So are they not serious about becoming a major low cost carrier then?

2. So why open new bases that you know (from point 1. above) that you can't support?

3. Loads mean diddly - what the yield? Oh, we don't know because Baby is a part of a private group and the figures just aren't there.

4. Umm, hello - £9.99 for the first 5 seats but £399.00 for the last 5...

There were no role models in Bristol either. Cardiff is just a Baby copy of EMA which in turn is a copy of Go. Go started then dropped Rome and Ibiza out of Bristol. Everything else they have kept or expanded or added:

Dropped, Ibiza and Rome. Kept, expanded or added EDI, GLA, BFS, NCL, FAO, BIL, AGP, ALC, BCN, NCE, VCE, PRG, CPH, AMS, PRG.

5. Thats because it will never be built. The airport is only a few miles from the capital - it doesn't need transport links. It needs people with the money and inclination to travel on weekend breaks and own second homes. It doesn't have that.

6. Missing.

7. If your aircraft are making money then why place artificial limits on them? Oh I know - because you are not really serious about becoming a major player.

8. Tony D can be a mafia Boss for all the use it will be in getting Joe Punter into your B737 - which at the end of day - is what is needed when it comes to creating and maintaining a viable route.

So Twin Aisle, how do you like them facts?

Cheers
