There is no comparable operation........
Thats my valid point.
The reason why the operations you refer to from the past no longer exist is that it was not economically viable.
To operate on the premise that 34 punters are going to turn up each flight for a third of the price is daft to say the least.
It has been said to you before, that model does not apply and it wasn't successful when costs were much, much less decades ago.
Much as I agree, who would enjoy paying that price, it is what it is.....
The alternative is no schedule service at all and don't think for one minute Loganair won't pull out if it starts costing money rather than making a small profit.
