Spot on BAe146 and Barbarossa
I agree with many others here that something is smelly about this new start-up.
In my opinion (as well as many others) Mr Stoddart hasnt got the formula right at all.
Firstly old B737's that are not fuel efficient at all when compared to the B737-800.
This will deter many an astute business person.
Secondly, lack of flexibility in timetables - businesspeople both want and need this!
Thirdly, no seamless capability for connections.
Fourth, no lounges such as the Qantas club for the travelling businessman.
Lastly to top it all off, if there is a breakdown they just cant get you on the next flight and your day will become very long and unenjoyable.
Reading about how the staff are treated overseas and owed alot of money (shafted was one word used by an employee) then I cant believe there are people waiting to queue up, only to be rogered royally!
I just hope it doesnt all end in tears.
