FougaMagister, thats my point, home grown companies can't compete because they are not on a level playing field.
Chartering in aircraft from iceland etc does nothing for the economy of this country and lets face it, it is all one sided, gatwick is full of 'tf' registrations, take excel , competing in the same markets as the established uk carriers who all have pension schemes, taxes to pay etc etc, by all accounts a very good company to work for but shrink to nought in the winter !
Balpa and caa should be onto this one before we are all on the dss.
just a thought.
