Spot on Maverick, however we shouldn't be surprised at Jetstream's posts. His username backs up our theory that he works for the delightful Eastern and therefore always backs them up and slags off the competition. I do it too so I have no gripe with the fella.
However, (and this is a big however) facts do seem to fly out of the window again. IOM gave, and as far as I am concerned, still give BE a very hard time so they are not favoured - in fact I am sure IOM staff would have been hyperventillating in paper bags the day they found out BE were at IOM for the long run!
It is a shame that RL has shut down IOM as a base. Clearly he was unable to prove people wrong with their predictions - what is strange is that he has pulled all routes and not just a couple. It would be interesting to see if NCL is picked up by any other carrier.
Wish Eastern the best of luck, business pax are hard to get hold of these days.
