Well, it is very evident that BA are not only downsizing to a full jet fleet, with the J-41's disappearing by April 31st, ATP's and Dash 8's all going in the next 2 years, they are also reducing their interest in domestic services. They will be left with the profitable routes - GLA, EDI, MAN to London. That is all they want. They are busy now asset stripping BACX and anyone else they can get their hands on and to hell with the people affected.
I imagine that, once they have no turbo-props at all, it will not only be GCI and JER that suffers. IOM and other outstations too will lose a decent, regular service. Unless, of course, someone steps in. Can anyone imagine Eastern or any other operator (Euromanx - joke!!!) running an ATP fleet or similar to fill the gap?
