WX or AF

Well long story and very odd history

Dublin HQ
High number ROI based pilots

BUT

Most ops are ex CDG so high levels of ineffeicencies, overnites, long layovers

Aircraft are high cost , low powered , heavy maintaince 95 seaters, dont do well in bad weather.

Many failed attempts at getting good utilization on each hull per day, good yield for business traffic but loads aircraft sit around all day 10am-4pm not earning money waiting for bankers to go home ...

This airline is a goldmine,no other carrier can get away with GBP500 for rtrip londub lonpar lonrtm.....but they can , problem is crap fleet, under utilized and no partners other than a weak AF KLM m they wont survive
