Skyman771
Sorry not getting off the box at the moment as it is a subject I believe in! I have worked in Aviation for the last thirty years and whilst not in marketing I 'believe' I have a good grasp of the area. As for "prejudice" against Manchester I have no prejudice! I do have a aversion against the 2-3hr, on a good day, drive down the A1/M62/M60!! Or the near 5hr return to the NE I had a few years ago after a transatlantic night flight in ice and snow!!
Whats wrong with the seat pitch on a 3-3 170-180 seat B757?? Much better to the 3-3-3/2-5-2 of a 300-400 seat B777!!
Dilution? Whilst yes they will be some dilution of pax's from other hubs, as we have found on the DXB it comes back to other destinations. Plus the percentage that decide not to make that drive!!
As a final point why don't we let the
interested parties, the airlines and they ARE some, make the decision instead of us!!
