Brain Fade
Iam on your side boss! Did you read the BA News that came out on Thursday? Only mention was by WW in his weekly column - about how bad the pension fund is - tell us something we dont know already... Then a small piece 2 pages further on in 'BA Connect Not A Part Of Our Strategy'. What is he all about? LHR will have a 'melt-down' when T5 opens. Already having to go cap-in-hand to the BAA at LHR to 'aquire' 38 aircraft parking stands at T3 due to lack of space at the 'Be all and end all of BAs empire - T5'. Aircraft going there include the B757 fleet as they are not containerised. Mind you, neither are the A319s...
I did also hear that the hangar in GLA was being 'checked out' recently to see if the Dash8-300 would fit inside which surprise surprise - IT DOES! SAAB were also over recently trying to off-load a few SAAB 2000s they cant get rid off... Very good rates and terms were being offered.
The flybe 'franchise' sounds good for LC, as they will get more work and more exposure to domestic and European routes on a more realistic scale. Think of the route network flybe would have!
PS - Next on flybes shopping list... bmi regional
