I thought the rights/slots for the route to DND and EDI belonged to Scot Airways?. Does anyone know if CB's crews are all based in EDI or is there a small base in DND?.
For many years and until about a year ago, I travelled on a fortnightly basis from LCY-EDI using AF/WX's flights. From my experience the flights operated by the D328's where much more reliable, punctual and comfortable, not to mention offered a far more personal and friendly service compared to those flights operated using WX's cramped RJ85's.

Is there enough work out there for Scot Airways to run a profitable operation once the Cityjet flights to DND and EDI are taken over by the WX F50's??.
