Indeed. Disregarding the new temporary 0630 "slotholder" from Heathrow (which you have to get up in the middle of the night to use), the first departure from Heathrow gets to MME at 1100, which means by the time you get to an office the working day is half gone.
The train from Kings Cross get you to Darlington (especially) or industrial Teesside notably earlier.
As one who has used DC9s (five times a day), F100s, A319s, and now apparently downsizing to Embraers, the current schedule is as useless as can be. Two of the four southbound flights are now after 7pm in the evening.
