We sat dumbfounded as David Evans told us how it was impossible to make money out of the BACX South West operation. This having been the mainstay and cash cow which nurtured and grew Brymon.
"Just because the seats are filled does not mean we are making money" he would shout at those of us who dared to question his commercial judgement. (It later transpired that the books had been cooked by adding overheads such as grounded aircraft to that operation!.so the decision was clearly political )
It is unbelievably ironic that this announcement should come now just as what is left (not much actualy) of BACON gets surrendered to FLYBE.
It is also particularly cruel on those who escaped from the likes of David Evans from BACX to take their chances with Air Southwest that, just as they were feeling secure, the ghost of BA now comes back to haunt them and create uncetainty for their futures once again.
A plague on all you discredited incompetent fat cat and downright beastly little BA managers......................
