Ha Ha, you're right about the beginning of the operation. We can say that a few big busses didn't have much of an affect on us....but once into double figures. Only time will tell. Since you, WK, seem to be all knowing, perhaps you can help us with the Seat KMs cost of the two aircraft and the reliability rate of the two. Honestly, I would love to know. Maybe it's a closely held secret. Since the investment and "face" have already been made, it really doesn't matter except in the financial future of the airline. Hell, it only took 20 years for airlines to realise the inefficiency of the RJ operation.
