Further to the last two postings from stab3.5up and Flightrider:-
I am starting to wonder whether Messrs' French and Rutter ever went away, perhaps operating the new management by remote control. Putting aside the LCY operation (if one can) I really cannot understand the majority of the recent decisions being made. As an example - assuming a highly persuasive offer by MAG to entice the Newquay - Southend summer route to Stansted, I wonder how much thought was given to passenger preference. Those using Newquay have a frequent service to Gatwick already, so why would anyone wish to use a second large slow shopping centre, I mean airport, rather than an ultra quick and more convenient smaller airport? Surely they have deprived the passenger of choice and an attractive alternative.
As someone who was once seriously considering purchasing their shares, I am very pleased I did not. Near miss!
