-Cutting the LGW shuttles (as it will save money for BA, especially with the new higher charges at LGW, making domestics more expensive to run)
-Bringing 1/2x 3 class B772 to MAN to operate MCO and a few carribean routes.
-The stored B744's could replace the B772 routes
It wouldn't impact too much on the MAN-LGW as that's not their purpose. Only the first Southbound has any use as a feeder, the rest is to link to business centres. De-coupling MAN feed with a dedicated aircraft would impact on the LGW operation but VS seem to manage this quite well but this based on a fleet charging a
LOT on a daily B744 to see Mickey Mouse.
Or why not build a stand alone specialist and focussed leisure company closely working with BA Holidays and call it, oh I don't know......something to make use of BA heavies on leisure routes..... *ponders* EUREKA! I have it, it shall be known as "British Air
tours" What a crazy, mad idea I just had!
