this is for whoseurpaddy

I like ur style but u seem to lack an understanding of the differences between LCC and traditional carriers.

If LCC are leaving with even the odd flight at 25% loads, there is something wrong. The worst loads should hover around 45-55%. Even then they are bleeding badly. With a F100, this is only exaserbated.

Traditional carriers, yes they build up loads over time, very often loads are low, and profit in the first couple of years in unlikely.

The point of LCC's is quick returns, if a route isnt profitable within 6 months or at least contributing it will never grow to profit.

EUJet is a LCC but has a passenger flow of a traditonal carrier. This isn't sustainable. However if its true £30m is being oumped into them they will last a little longer, but how unreasonable! There is so much poverty in the world, and the only reason people want EUJet to survive is not based on economics, its based on ego and wanting to see planes at Manston.

Sorry if im a little harsh
