The Best possible thing that could happen to BA CitiExpress would be to have broken up and completely scrapped! After all, its been doomed since day one!
Lets face it people, when BRAL/MANX/BRYMON were all separate companies, they all made a reasonable profit and the staff were reasonably happy (cant please all i know).
I personally think that the above companies operated perfectly well as separate enterties, till BA decided they wanted a bigger input to them and decided to buy them.
Please BA, do not take over any more airlines! unless u make them more profitable, rather than the reverse!
