Maybe I'm missing sonething here, but why are BA suspending jet routes rather than reverting back to using ATR's? In the days when I worked for CFE we flew ATR 42's & 72's with quite reasonable load factors to places like Cork. Surely it makes sense to keep a route open, use the slot and make a small profit than have a/c and crews sitting on the ground doing nothing. Sorry to hear things aren't quite what you all expected, regards to all ex CFE staff.
