It is quite clear that many of the contributors have little or no idea about the wonderful world of airlines and aviation. In principle the LCY operation is very sound the problrems start when we try to crew it and the unions kick off. I would hazard a guess that the operation will stay with BACX and good luck to those staff. It does not serve ex Man BA staff very well to be so bitter about the closure, they had been on the gravy train for decades and should have realised that all good things come to an end.
