I can't help but feel that following the change from CitiExpress to Connect, BA's yield management team took a holiday.
More 'bums on seats' maybe.....but at what yield.
I guess the main difference now, is that many of the BACon routes under Flybe's high ancilliary revenue model are making money even with fewer passengers.
As 'uncovered' has said, Flybe's market share on the ex BACon routes has increased which points towards better times ahead.
