the full year total looks like falling somewhere between
650k to 675k at best
With cost pressures already evident in dealing with snow & ice, the potential departure of GSM & many factors suggesting that 2009 is not going to be good year for the UK then presumably someone has amended the DTV business plan? If so what in real terms is the break even pax no.'s & can this figure feasibly be reduced by further cost cuts & if so where ?
To ask another pertinent question then are the girls capable of decision making, or alternatively then what are they doing ?
NB the brief isolated comments seeking some comfort from the 3 months Pax no.'s above relating to comparitive percentages with NCL, LBA or elsewhere, in isolation mean absolutely nothing. Many instances are merely a reflection of less flights & as such say nothing about pax revenue & load factors. In reality DTV has had clueless management over a number of years headed by owners who appear to have taken little interest. This downward spiral needs to be broken but with DTV's track record as bad as any then things appear bleak
