I'd rather have EI at BHD than the Harper's at BFS. Funny to watch the UTV waffle on this one. EI's cost base is actually not bad. The idea that this is the reason behind their decision is tenuous. This is a strategic change in direction from IAG and when they say boo, EI will jump.
Currently 2 airlines in the same group, flying to the same place within 40mins of each other and both will now night stop crews. How long do you think that'll last? The return of the 321 is in sight.
