eddie,
sounds like you have the business plan i wrote for MSE 7 years ago - j41 or atr-42 is the perfect a/c for mse, first year pax numbers 30,000 rising to peak of 80-100,000 after 4/5 years - primarily business routes, with avg sector times of 75 mins, avg fare price of 99 each way.
not all your routes i would fly, but some certainly
i had contract negotiations with pfizer and cummins and saga as well as several others.
Eastern would fly any route i wanted as long as we underwrote them and basically guaranteed the route financially, the fat controller denied.......
KLM came to table - the fat controller denied..... VLM said no due to dilution of LCY pax base.
if your serious about operating from mse then i will stop what im doing, as i have started revisiting my original plans - to set this up....
great minds think alike.....
cheers
