To be fair on Cityjet, when Flybe announced they were dropping the Cardiff routes, was there a possibility that Eastern were interested ? Even if they weren't, would Eastern flying CWL-GLA have been credible ?
I imagine CWL-GLA can support only 1 carrier. Perhaps therefore a need for Cityjet to stake their claim to the route before anyone else and avoid a subsequent fare war ?
Still, Cityjet don't look like they're ready yet and I imagine the first few weeks from 20 January will see some lighter-than-desirable passenger loads
