No I think it's quite possible FR could go to 7 based a/c. Since Liverpool is the only one in the UK which seems to have been reduced and schedules for Manchester support an extra a/c, my bet is that in this case there is simply one a/c switching from Liverpool to Manchester.
The UK generally seems to have escaped most of the cuts due to the shortage of a/c which of course seems very promising for us. It's mainly across Spain, Germany and Scandinavia where most of the cuts seem to be occurring, and of course the closure of the Maastricht base.
Ireland, Italy and the UK should be the main growers next year for FR, possibly Belgium too with the new Zaventem base.
