Thanks for that concise rant Mr Mixture, but where does all that out of season Fruit and Veg come from - certainly not the UK.
How does the British public get such a wide variety of products all the year around, certainly not by executives banging around the UK on a low cost airline.
What on earth is the point of selling all those aircraft at a loss, just to appease the masses??
Get the aircraft on an AOC, Charter the backside out of them, get a good
PR Team in, do a bit for charity, do a bit for the UN, use them for Aeromed and then use them when you need them. But just to ground the aircraft and not use them and rack up penalty costs is ludicrous.
The aircraft should be used more, not less, because the costs can be written off against TAX. Now Mr Tyler, march to the Capital!
