BEE/ BRUSSELS etc.

It shows how tough it is to retain routes during the current climate....
Durham Tees are even clearing the snow using volunteers from what you read - I don't think this fills operators (or insurers) with confidence.
How does that work?

I don't know - but if Newcastle can't retain I think it's more about operators preference.
They've stayed open and available constantly in recent weeks.. I've flown in a few times whilst DTV has closed after a few flakes. .... why would Flybe or any BRU operator take them seriously? What's the score with snow clearance done by volunteers etc. What if there's an injury or damage? Where do they stand.. Frighten the life out of most commercial organisations?
