They haven't got their new F100s yet. They have cut routes. So I think the idea of them having an A320 and using it on X-Mass island where I believe the 146/RJ70 is already loss-making seems a little ridiculous. That and the fact its the other side of the country.
But I'd be happy to be proven wrong.
And where's this knight in shining armour (the blue and gold knight I presume)?
