No slots

Please do correct me if wrong, but I assume eastern are still holding the numerous daily LCY slot pairs for the 'phantom' LCY-AMS? Given the fact that T3 have now got the Shetlands oil contract which has soaked up Saab aircraft, plus current economic conditions, I don't think it would be too great a mental leap to come to the conclusion that it is probably less than likely that they'll actually do the LCY-AMS.

Notwithstanding the comments Cyrano makes above ref profitability (especially when operating LCY domestic routes with a small aircraft like D328 or J41), with which I agree entirely, there is still the question of whether Eastern (or someone else) might make use of these LCY slots, some of which are of course in peak hours.
