Sadly I feel the writing is on the wall for Eastern as we know it...
Things will have to change.. and I'm sure RL has a cunning plan.. he's not daft when it comes to it...
Will he pull away from the scheduled side of things and concentrate on the ad hoc work... or cash in and start something else..
Flybe may be winning battles but will they have the endurance to win the war?
Lets hope Eastern stays strong, it would be a shame to loose another airline in this country, you never know some good may come of it.
