BACX @ BRS
"(while) Bristol may suffer a disproportionate number of cancellations the rest of network operates generally with no problems to Cat II standards"
Of course that begs the question whether the rest of network can ever function effectively with aircraft locked in or out of BRS.
I regret to say that my experience is that when BRS is shut down due to weather conditions the whole network sustains irrecoverable damage. Aircraft and passengers are misplaced and the operations department reverts to low-grade fire-fighting tactics. I now avoid BRS like the plague in winter, at £500+ for a fully flexible ticket BRS/CDG/BRS one doesn't exactly relish a 2 hour coach journey from Birmingham at the end of a long day!
