There is absolutely no way on earth BA Mainline will revert MAN back to one of their bases. The general idea is to try and save money! I can imagine the routes that will go will be along the lines of MAD/FCO or MXP as they're much better served by an A321 of GB than trying to flog the guts out of an RJ. Makes sense to me, although keeping the 146's doesn't make sense at all as they'll have to be replaced eventually but that will feature in Business Plan no. 342!!
If anyone in BACX management would like to enlighten it's staff of the future of the company and what direction it's supposed to be taking then be kind and tell people once and for all then individials can decide whether to go and work for one the many profitable competitors or stay and try and make it work......
XRJ . . . . pilots should be aware of what the management are thinking. Just ask those that are on their 3rd relocation package and also their 3rd type rating in 12 months. And you wonder why people get miffed.....
