145's

Ringwayman

If the 145's are staying, who is going to pay for the losses?

No LCC to date has made money on 145's and even BACON management
have been quoted as claiming that losses have continued (okay the 145
is only part of the factor) since the "new concept" began last March.

It just sounds like financial suicide for anyone to to agree to keep such a plane on routes that the previous owner has allegedly stated does not work, especially if some of the figures mentioned are correct. Also I assume that flybe will be paying the crew "BACON wages" but trying to charge flybe prices from April?

Somebody explain how this works
