Pete i wouldnt be part of the so called management team as long as I had a hole in my .... just a line pilot.
The cutting of routes from BHX last year was attributed to BHX development routes not working explained by management as the city destinations.
My point was that BHX has never achieved what the company set out to achieve, this is now reinforced by further cuts this year. When you look at the base reductions cardiff took the least hit folowed by Man, BHX was slaughted.
Union talk of possibly retaining a frame keep thirteen a/c, EMA or BHX bound we will see, thats even if it does stay.
EMA has always been quoted by management as the most profitable base. they themselves probably know the exact figures but they must have an idea of what makes what in order to steer the business(i use the word steer loosely)
When all said and done I wish all the bases were kept as they are, but reality is the business is failing in its current form, baby crews have had a bad two years.
