No one is going to ever change BALHR's mind and I honestly think engaging him is a waste of effort as he is one of these guys who just doesn't get it.
He's the one and only person on my ignore list (!) Except people keep quoting back the garbage he is spouting so there's no escape from such drivel!
On what basis do you seem to think that I am “one of these guys who just doesn't get it” and why I am I in your ignore list?
Firstly I am more than happy to listen to other user’s advice, after all the vast majority of you have more experience than I do in this sector
What I have a problem is that people don’t read the entirety of my posts and then comment about them
He does NOT work for BA!!! Just imagine if he did (!)
If I did I would not be making much of a difference (I would not be in a job deciding strategy with my age and experience)
No it will wither and die over the summer as the schedule is designed to run at a loss and be unattractive to business. Unless they give it a night stopper and an early into LHR, making use of a prime time slot, it's not useful for P2P. Without a good P2P mix to balance out connections, it will bleed red. The summer sees a first Southbound at 1135. Unless that changes, they're not serious about serving LBA.
Well look its early days for a start, also I don’t think BA would launch a service to a new destination if they thought it was unprofitable (or did not contribute to profitable routes) and would be scrapped (after paying for slots at that new destination) before long
BA wants more connecting flights to the regions, but they cannot find space at LHR without compromising the number of medium/long-haul flights…
