It's just a pity councillors can't be made to pay from their own pockets when they make perverse decisions.
Back to Ryanair, a look at next week's web Mayfly (on the BRS apron website) makes intriguing reading.
Daily FR flights are shown to ALC, AGP, MJV, FAO and ORK.
If they operate they will have no fare-paying passengers because these destinations don't appear on the FR website or on their booking engine from BRS.
These destinations, along with the established routes that will operate, call for 3 based aircraft.
Could it be that FR originally planned these routes for this winter and through some sort of admin c*ck-up they still found their way into Mayfly? If so, it would mark a battle royal with easyJet.
I can't think that Mayfly would just make them up for fun.
