Firstly, sorry if my comment rubbed people up the wrong way. I was just genuinly confused to the LPL statement as it didnt add anything to the previous posts, and apart from a small amount of hoo-ha, it wasnt going to add anything to later posts.
Anyway, it seems MAD will saty at LPL due EZY being happy with the loads from there and may not want to dilute them. BA/IB will be adding MAN-MAD soon enough anyway so all is not lost.
MAN also seems to get a new unit and 3 new routes for every winter/summer season, so we can expect more of the same.
For a levelled expansion to 10 units by summer 2012, maybe 2 units for summer 2011, one for winter 11/12 and 2 for summer 2012?
