True - but I'm thinking about the new combined CityJet/Stobart fleet including the ATRs and the now lack of competition from LCY,(or in fact, anywhere) to ANR. All of the above is true Avnu, I'm just idly speculating on best use of slots at a busy and expensive LCY when you now have a second cheaper hub to play with down the road.
