Ha the old argument about making money out of parking aircraft up rather than flying them! Whilst I agree that you lose less money by not flying unprofitable routes the idea that somehow it's good use of capital to buy aircraft that cost money whether you fly it or not and then claim the plan is not to fly it is absurd, other than biz jets of course.

The 757 fleet has seriously long legs and is wasted unless used, it's rare that these are full down to he med, no LoCo gets the near 100% load factor that the likes TCX gets.

Sharm & Tunisia was unfortunate in terms of timing let's hope that the next release of routes is more interesting
