Jeez, talk about people looking for conspiracies or complications!!! The a/c went tech last night and is therefore going to SHJ/ISB this afternoon - apparently 189 punters on the flight (with only 190 seats I guess that's close to a 99.5% load factor). No way will it get back by tonight - presumably they haven't filed a delay for the return yet so the airport system is still showing the normal arrival tonight as if last night's flight went on time.

The second a/c isn't going to be here until the new year - if, indeed, it comes at all after this week's shenanigans!

Should have stuck to selling furniture
At least they're having a good go at it now, and whilst I appreciate load factors aren't everything, if recent loads are anything to go by are starting to make it move in the right direction. Better to have tried and failed than be an arm-chair airline CEO IMHO
