On the subject of CDR's is everyone aware that a certain Irish budget airline won't flight plan on CDR's as their ops department have, a) no link to receive NOTAM's and, b) too few staff to file individual plans!
Therefore, they decide to flight plan 10's, even 100's miles further than they need to to save staffing costs! and then rely on the goodwill of ATC to give them direct routes even though they're carrying excess fuel!
In these times of high fuel costs is it any wonder that they're now making a loss!
