Why don't you all wake up and smell the coffee. Bacon is a 2006 version of the Titanic! The whole operation is holed beneath the waterline, the rudder is jammed and the crews are jumping into the lifeboats- BACON is doomed and the sooner you nice chaps see the future the better.
The business model does not work and W.W. knows this very well- he has thrown it a lifeline but only one that is to short.
It amazes me that Professional pilots are by definition clever people however at BACON so many stick their neck in the sand hoping the storm will pass! BALPA will save you in the nick of time, wont it?
Making money as a traditional regional airline in Europe is no longer possible- Look how FlyBe realized this in 2003 and made the leap.
I have said this before but not to labor my point I will say it all again, had Cassini been allowed to move ahead with GO then a packaged GO/BA Regional/Brymon and even those hat wearing Muppet's from IOM could have made an invincible 737 LoCo package in the UK. Instead it has not happened, No way can the current fleet/management/culture stay afloat for much longer. If INV closes then more are sure to follow.
