Oh, by the way we've pushed ahead with plans to launch a business only route, financed by the banking sector.
Partly true. The business only route is being launched to serve a single bank. One of our biggest, if not the biggest, customer. If we can deliver something they really want and which also ties them to us for a few more years it would be madness not to.
The Business week article rather sums up the thoughts I've had for sometime.
I really don't mean to be rude but I hope you've been thinking more than they have. That article is so brief, so superficial and so lacking in analysis and insight that it's borderline worthless.
This may explain why the polite and friendly Captain joined me for lunch in Cranebank recently, told me he had applied for VR and was ready to leave, then told me that I would have to earn less and work more, so he could take his cash and go
Evidently he was confused. The cash for his VR offer comes from the central budget of £78M set aside for VR, in common with all other VR payments. The productivty improvements which allow him to access VR funding come exclusively from the pilots.
