'utilisation' is hard when you have short sectors and small bases with limited trip rostering options within a duty day.
This is exactly why I reckon we will see consolidation at the largest bases and maximum sweating of the assets (pilots and aircraft) at those locations.

There have already been rumours of more routes from SOU and overnight utilisation of a/c, which all adds credence to this being the way forward.

I could see some spokes on the network like NQY, NWI going completely.

Then there is the (mostly very seasonal, but significant) operations to the French regions, the Summer Ops around the UK from JER, I wonder how much of all of this will survive?
