Ex Cargo Clown care to explain and substantiate your easily voiced allegations of rigging the numbers?
The JFK is just an example of the way LON distorted things to discredit services from stations other than LHR.
The aircraft was "leased" to BAR, at what was a completely ridiculous rate, the freight capacity for instance was factored in by mainline to be earning the TACT rate rather than the much lower commercial rates. Why, to make it look like it was running at a loss.
If you tried to book a NYC - MAN ticket through BA.com, guess what. It's preferred routing was always JFK - LHR - MAN. Ask yourself why..,. Again with the JFK, it arrived at 0620 and had fantastic European connections, AMS, BRU, DUS etc this is what T3BA was designed for, did London Airways ever market these routes ? No.
Going back a little further, the ISB flight. It used to come up from LHR with 80 pax sometimes, and then mysteriously leave MAN with a full load. Where did these Pax come from ?
London Airways have never been interested in the regions, isn't it strange how EK, QR, SQ and the rest can make a good go of it.....
As for the comment about MAN staff working 5 hours. Best joke I've heard all day. 90% of LHR staff are undoubtedly the laziest, useless entities in the entire universe.
