WW schedule

Twinaisle has shown that the schedule bears no sense. The Loco policy is maximum aircraft utilisation and for Loco this is between 0700 and 2300. Most Loco do not operate night flights beacuse it burns crew avaliability. Do we see a crew numbers issue at CWL. Also if you look at some of the times are baby on self destruct BFS could be a buisness day GLA once a day when 6G where doing it twice a day loads where very high. There is something going on with baby we will all have to wait and see.

As to routes out of CWL you either use the scientific approach CAA origin and dest data or you use the Ryanair version if you have two lots of population with either water or grater than 500 miles apart and you sell at the best price you will get passengers to travel. This does open up all kinds of potential route oportunitys. Put all the routes now operated out of cwl on a map and see where the holes are thats where routes can do best. The first that come to mind are Germany and Scandinavia home to Lufthansa and SAS both major owners of Bmi!!!!! Eastern Europe, North Africa. However the sunspots already served are according to info i have seen at maximum and need more services to supply the demand. Do not build your hopes up that Flybe will come in as the night in shinning arm. All cwl is getting is a dash 8 400 best you can hope is Uk domestic and Northen France you wont see a Flybe jet for a long long time.
