Baby

Is this the final schedule for winter?

I have not gone through the schedule totally but BHX goes from 8 based
to five departures some mornings but seem to need six at night.

Also if fuel is the only problem why are they operating half empty 733's
to BFS and continuing with long flights (long for baby) to AGP, KRK
MJV and ALC with FR and ZB on some of these routes.

I suspected BHX would go down to 6 based but FCO, LIS & MAD
averaged over 100 per flight even in winter. I understand with
winter fares and the price of fuel that these flights would be under pressure (despite no competition) but I just find it difficult to believe
that Belfast, Malaga & Alicante yield more in the winter with the
amount of competition. I suppose saying that it could have been worse.
