Another thing about CE is they haven't really expanded that much in the last few years apart from say the LGW route.
I know they did once try the East London route but then shelved it and interesting to see 1-Time promoting that a lot.
A search of these forums will show that
VB has still some way to go with respect to the cutting of costs as per Ryanair. I'm not sure whether some these stories are true but they are quite interesting.......staff not being allowed to charge their mobile phones at work, no window blinds, no reclining seats in new aircraft etc.
I'm also amazed that customer service is so good considering how (allegedly) he treats his staff.
