Re: British Airways Citiexpress
Porky, yes, I freely admit that I am no fan of the ba management who were responsible for the despicable 'Dirty Tricks' era.
But Brymon deserved considerable praise.
ba ConAir will need to have some USP to attract Business Class pax, although you're probably right that the ERJ-145 is less cramped than Lufthansa's horrid little CRJ-200s with their 2 seats per side. But the ConAir BAe146 will have the unpopular middle seat for Business Class passengers, whereas Lufthansa Regional keep the middle seat empty for Business Class travellers....and provide free catering, of course. At a price - but probably a price that someone else will be paying?
I was considering switching to BACX after the latest Lufthansa imetable fiasco, but not now that the 'product' is being dumbed-down.
