DC9 10...great name....fond memories of OH-LYB doing five Liverpool Heathrow returns per day. Talk about pocket rocket!!! Anyway, just finished 44 years 11 and a half months as a Controller, and I've seen an unbelievable change in aviation during four decades.
Southampton-Munich, I wish the airline all the very best. Watch out for a vulture sitting in a tree at Southampton; lets give it a made-up name purely at random such as Befly; lets remember that the West Country almost became an aviation desert, lets remember the old Plymouth operation, lets remember the operator diversity that Southampton once had. How come Southampton-Munich has become the flavour-of-the-month route all of a sudden? Why has another operator suddenly decided to jump on board at rock bottom prices, and will the route collapse and disappear if BMI give it up?
Just a discussion topic really......maybe I've seen it all before!
