Some quotes attributed to Mr Carr re routes do seem strange and all
I can think he is using them as an illustration to keep the real destinations
quiet.

City routes are the buzz word but BHX are losing two more shortly with
Prague going in 9 days and Barcelona with no direct competition in June
unless they got wind of Spanair's plans.

They have made a total hash of the BHX April schedule with Easter upon
us and aircraft sitting around in the week despite a reduction in based
aircraft. True the aircraft work hard at weekends and from late May but Easter and May is not that bad at BHX.

I agree the points re the Med routes, ALC, AGP, MJV, PMI & FAO are
not bookable this winter - smart move with FR & ZB covering some.

The Ryanair four have almost a full schedule with BZG & OPO returning
tomorrow, PMI Tueday and Trieste operating today along with the new
Faro service. Ibiza starts in the week.

Monarch restarted Palma today, increased Larnaca and Mahon comes
on line again Tuesday. Both LPA & ACE also increase this week along
with AGP, FAO and ALC. Murcia hasd gone and Almeria reduced to weekly.
