Just a few points...only major lh presence is at fra and muc.. allothers such as txl.dus, cgn etc are operated by limited lh mainline and primarily franchises like cirrus/cityline/augsberg etc.
(which work)
AF..only presence is at cdg, marginal elsewhere, considerable presence of codeshare and franchise (britair, flybe etc). which work.
IB only major presence at mad, with touristic value presence in bcn. many t/a services ex bcn are ops via mad with aircarft change involved...a la edi.
OS.. no presence in the regions.. all done by franchise and codeshare with alliance franchise to boot. which work
SK allegedly major presence in osl/arn and cph... but in effect major resources focused at cph.. hence why thay have/are gobbling the majority of small competitor airlines.
Interesting to note that all of the above still have to see real competition from locos in their own territory, although this is changing with fr in stockholm and ezy/virgin xpress in ory.
Why should ba operate routes that are not profitable from these regional airports? Just so that you can wipe a nationalistic tear at the sight of that wavy British flagfrom your eye as you clamber onboard cheap 'n' greasy air service to nowhereville (airport 70kms from city centre), which is owned by alexis or paddy your local marketcaller?
If you all loved BA that much why didn't you fly with them before now?
it appears BA does not have a problem..just business sense.. and you??
