Well just as I said no new aircraft, it seems we have 2 coming to replace 2 going off lease the end of the year. But here is the strange bit. The company say they won't be coming until the last quarter of the year but they are taking responsibility for them earlier so we may see them on the network.
My take is that they don't want to recruit while trying to threaten redundancy if we force them to pay the last year of the pay deal. But they need the extra aircraft for the Airbus gig so.... watch this space I guess.
