LCY,
The CAA recently sent round a 'statement' regarding Vanguard. Long story short - In order to use it for Commercial Charters aircraft mass has to be reduced such that it can hover OEI OGE
That will seriously restrict the types that can use Vanguard legally
The price rise won't/ isn't the major problem at Batters
The present slot system is an ill thought out, poorly managed load of ar$e
Not only that, as 'we' found out recently, you still get hit with a cancellation fee even if the cancelled slot is sold again at full face value
Never did feel all the hype about trying to keep movements down was the real motivation. It is ALL about money. (without even suggesting that perhaps Premiair always find the daily slot limit hasn't been exceeded
)
This mess was never funny, but the sooner a second option is available the better
