To Essex Man
Please accept my apologies if my comments seem a little "off" to you. I have been interested and supportive of Southend since my first visit in the mid 70's.
My reference to Skyworks comes from another comment on this site, but another forum, which I found when first navigating the site.
I concur with the comment regarding seat costs and will be interested in the load factors achieved, I do feel the business traveller may not support this route. But let me end positively and hope it succeeds!
