fra, str, mxp

Certainly the pax loads on BHX- FRA, STR, MXP would not justify
the 195 even if FRA & STR were reduced to twice daily. That was
my worry that they would just pull-off.

I have no idea of the yields on BHX-MXP but loads average about
55-60% but they have committed the 195 to the morning service
from September (the last time I looked).

Also there was a trend to not run the Q400 beyond 90 minute
flights and again with STR & FRA outside that flying time again
I was worried that it would be curtains once the 145 had gone.

I assume that there is nothing against the economics and
flying 90-120 minute sectors? I suppose some would complain
about their ears after two hours on a prop
