I don't think that the likes of Leeds DSA CWL to name a few will feel "raped" at the hands of Loco's but rather the word "grateful" will come to mind. Sure some of the people who are flying on Loco's are Gods great unwashed, but most are down to earth folks, for who a couple of weeks in the sun(or a weekend) is very important in their lives, they earn't the dosh, paid the tax, how they spend it is up to them.not you, not me and certainly not the tossers in BRU.

The IT people (charter) were the people that took forgien holidays down market in the first place, Loco's just allow people to travel to Malaga on days other than change over days.

C02 emissions are rising and airlines play their part, but this type of hike in costs is just plain stupid, it will hit low income groups hardest and that in turn will decimate airlines, pilots,airports and oveseas resorts.
