It seems that due to the amount of people leaving or working notice that there will be opportunities to move onto the RJ in EDI and become part of Baconrasher #2 if one so wants and has the right handshake.
1. What is the perception that this will work?
2. Who believes #2 will last, with or without eventual movement into mainline as a "bottom of the list FO"?
3. If the above answer is negative, why are BA not selling/disposing of it?
4. If no absorption into mainline is planned, how can such a small operation get to 'self sustaining' or 'critical mass' to be successful?
I am drawn to the idea of a small friendly operation, the appointment of NG as the FM is a step forward, (though CP is a huge drawback, and the fact that DD and PH are offski shows what they think of the prospects), and I like the idea of Scotland. However, reassurance on the endgame would be helpful, as there does not seem to be much of an investment taking place. This could be because:
1. BA have expansion plans for it, but don't want to show their hand while still attached to BACON #1.
2. BA are purely keeping it going to keep the LCY slots warm for eventual reversion to some mainline operation, and our demise.
What do we all think?
