It was nice of the BBC this morning to let us know that all BA international flights from MAN will be unaffected.
indeed...!
....but God preserve us, at least we didn't see the stock selection of
B737/757s rolling off 24,(yes thats 24 not 23, they are that old.)

As Sport Relief are running the "Shirt of Hurt Campaign" where you wear an opposing teams shirt to raise money for charity maybe we could start a campaign related to BAs use of RYR...
The Planes Of Shame come to mind !

On a more serious note Spanairs announcement of Madrid /Barcelona from BHX and their rationale for choosing BHX underlines exactly what I have been saying.....!
Whilst there "might" be a return/increase of pax on current services as the economy "hopefully" improves, its difficult to see where expansion will come from in the future. I assumed that when RYR set up at Manchester it would stem expansion at Liverpool in favour of Manchester. Now they are even more firmly entrenched it makes the situation even more precarious!
