A once 7 aircraft base which will end up at 3 is every justification for paranoia
If you applied that logic to every airline that reduced based a/c in the last 2 years or so of a recession at each airport then the whole world would have ground to a halt.
The level of summation and paranoia displayed on this thread recently is barmy.
Can't we get back to normality, i.e. flights to NYC, Emirates putting on 777 thrice daily and say an all business 320 hourly to MME ?
