Don't always see eye to eye with Skipness but I agree with him on this one. FR left the STN route because it wasn't performing, that's the kind of decisions that commercial businesses make.

If it didn't make money for FR, with their low cost base, however it's going to make BE a profit, especially to LCY I simply don't know.

That may not stop them trying. The new BE model is extremely short termist. They seem to be happy to try anything but are ruthless in culling a route after less than 6 months if it doesn't perform. Not my favourite business model but a fact I'm afraid. see their record at BHX if you want proof of that strategy.
