Unhappy

NorthernSky.....

As far as I can see.. and I work with the passengers.. there has been little of no reaction to last week's events in terms of people not travelling...Load factors are pretty much unaffected ... but to be honest I do not know about future bookings.... but those people who have already bought tickets still want to fly.

At least in Europe, people are still very happy to fly, they are glad to see the security checks and for the moment do not complain (any more than usual!!! )

One thing which is clear is that the airlines are using the tragedy in the US as an excuse..... these job losses were on the cards they have possibly simply been pushed forward by a few months..... BA/AA/UAL and the like have been in trouble for some time and now is as good a time as any to cover up their inefficiencies and blame the losses on something outwith their control.
