I think there is potential at baby, but they need to get their act seriously together. This summer has been an awful one for their customers on MAN-ORK and MAN-NOC with frequent delays, poor schedules and from what I have seen the rest of the MAN network was no better.

Baby need to get their act together because at the minute they are handing their market to EI on a plate. The number of frequent travellers I've sat next to on my flights who have given up on baby due to delays, which are made seem even longer by the already late-night departure times is worrying. The state of the aircraft is also a common complaint. Like them, I've given up on baby whenever possible, which is a shame because the airline is fundamentally a good one, I think a fleet of new, reliable A319/73G would do a lot for baby. But WW is a fantastic example of why FR and U2 swear by new fleets - they are less likely to break down.

Brian.
