I wander now that it's been done if it would of raised a few eyebrows


Doubt it very much, bet what did though was the extra tonne or so fuel it burnt.

It’s all very good saying dedicated and not etc but that a load of rubbish, no airline is really dedicated to any airport, it's a business for good sake and if they don't like it they won’t do it. This TOM reduction is being made far worse than it is, there aren’t that many destinations dropped, and who knows with 10 months or so until the next summer season they might change things by then. There’s clearly some reason why they aren’t sending big jets to cwl (possibly the extortionate landing fees for a regional airport are one thing) that we don’t know about and probably never will, it's not all down to dedication and favouritism.

Ask yourself, how dedicated is CWL to the airlines?


Just about knock the nail on the head, although with XL they did have difficulties at the time and was part of the reason they pulled cwl, they'd only been there a year and hardly had an establishment there, hence they didn’t have much to lose.
