I guess we're all agreed that discussing DSA and SZD simultaneously is inevitable. So a quick question about viability:

SZD is often labelled 'unviable' (evidence never seems to be offered) but was only available to airline traffic for 5 years (RFFS downgraded to Category 1 in 2002). But Robin Hood made a nett loss of £11.6m last year (its seventh year of operations). Passenger numbers continue to fall. The airlines seem to have little faith in it. So... surely Robin Hood is currently unviable?

How long will a company like Peel continue to accept this situation?
