There were some rumours sculling around a short while ago, that he was going to turn HUY into some sort of a charter/corporate hub. This would fit with his attempts to take on more charter-type work over the past couple of years. Supposedly there are major changes coming in the new year too. We shall see.
It is very sad what happened to ASW - and it must be a terrible shock to those who joined T3, to experience the 'Eastern Way' - but at least they are still employed. Given RL's business acumen, I would have thought that he would have covered the ASW routes if they were capable of making him money. He obviously thinks that he can make more money using the aircraft and crews elsewhere. This would seem to be confirmed by the lack of anyone else jumping in, to provide a regular service.
I have never met any member flight crew at Eastern who has anything other than sympathy and best wishes to all those at ASW.
