Copenhagen has it about right, IMHO. baby is just playing at being a LCC. It needs
considerably more expansion in the right places otherwise it can only end up one way.....absorbed by another operator or out of business.
The CWL reshuffle is a climb down/cut back.
EMA is crumbling as a baby base. Easyjet and Ryanair have just about won at EMA. The scrap is now between those two.
Whatever the reason for Baby's birth, it is still here and GO a fond memory.
Once again, Copenhagen has the correct reason for baby's birth. It was a "copy cat" reaction by a management which, up to that point, had been spouting on about falling passenger figures at EMA and a need to downsize from Fokker 100 and 70 types to Embraer "tiddlers"!!!!!! bmi Mainline pilots had already been warned, some years earlier, of a relocation to LHR, lock, stock and barrel.
GO is a "fond memory", because it was effectively Easyjet with a GO paint scheme when it turned up at EMA. GO did'nt fail as an operator at EMA, it was the same operator which just shed one paint scheme and put on another when hangar time and downtime was available. The beast under the skin was the same carnivore we see there today
To imply that GO failed at EMA is the
reverse of the truth, therefore. GO/Easyjet is currently seeing off baby at EMA.
