Come again? BAR was losing less money than BACX before the merger, and that was even with the huge shovel loads of dosh BACX was getting direct from BAR from the BHX wet-lease deal. How do you think BACX 'sorted out' BAR? The whole organisation hasn't turned a profit in years. It made even less money and lost all the passengers after the merger! Perhaps if you wised up to the fact that you'd backed the wrong horses/aircraft years ago this situation might be more understandable. Point to point regional operations only worked when you had similar competition. Once RYR and EZ moved in the writing was on the wall.
