Eh????

Ryanair 1
Who rattled your cage?
"What makes me laugh is that an airline named after Scotland, with a Scottish tartan logo, flies between SOUTHampton and Amsterdam!!!"

Why does that make you laugh exactly? How about an Irish airline, Irish reg, American built aeroplanes, flown by non Irish crew who are based in LONDON Stansted, in and out of Prestwick or Edinburgh, which is in SCOTLAND by the way!!! That's called cabotage BTW.
As for ScotAirways, well as Scotland is part of the UK then ScotAirways is classed as a BRITISH company. The name or colour scheme is of no bearing on anything, so laugh or not, they can fly wherever they like. See "Air Scotland/Greece Airways!" Does "British" Airways make you laugh too when they only have bases in LHR and LGW?? Shouldn't it be London Airways?
Personally I'd love to see Scotland as a seperate country with our own reg and all our aeroplanes painted in tartan. Then we could be left alone to our Haggis and Irn Bru! (But that is for another thread!)
