James Thin is actually right about the horrendous situation with flight cancellations. The blame falls squarely with our MD on that one though. A while ago a letter was posted to all BACX employees from our MD apologising for all the disruptions caused by flight cancellations due in most part to a lack of forward planning on cabin crew recruitment. Things are getting back to "normal" again, slowly, but you still see the odd Titan/Flightline 146. Nowhere near as much as before though.

There was a little conspiracy theory being put about that the company was able to SAVE money by chartering out to Titan/Flightline, thats why it went on so long. It was good for engineering too to have the down time on the aircraft. I couldn't possibly comment...(well go on then) if that was the case then hey, why not sack all flight crew, sell all the aircraft and charter out every single flight, in fact, better still lets just liquidate everything and not run an airline at all.... Save a fortune!
