ncleflights, it is not I who is "slightly" inaccurate, moreso that you are "slightly" too pedantic. Statistics can easily be misrepresented. You choose to refer only to those that are only in full time employment, thus excluding all others...
Totally endorse your point re EDI, which draws to attention that in NCL's case they have suffered a demograpghic shift of pax back over the scottish border.
Where to now? my view is also that perhaps too much attention has been expended on NYC, and that in Jet2 as opposed to EZY / RYR then time may show that perhaps NCL has backed the "wrong horse!".
