But LHR27C I thought the big LOCO's were also posting a profit at the moment?? They are expecting to lose money next year but then so are BA. Both totally different business models are struggling at the moment! Like all others BA are doing what they need to do to survive and as you say, you certainly can’t blame them. Batten down the hatches, go to were you make the most money (LHR for LH) or in this environment lose the least. Wait for the other airlines to haemorrhage money quicker, go bust and then expand out afterwards.
Do you ever think MAN could in the future be a big base for a couple of big loco's, the remaining charters and then find some (British registered) LH returning? Or do you think that the withdrawal to LHR will be so complete they will never move back?
