A little bit more then....
Consider the baggage situation today at GCI. A much stricter approach with pax being advised how much (in £) extra baggage will cost them. This is only fair when terms and conditions have already been stated that "Free Baggage" is 20kgs. Trying to get 26kgs through aint gonna work!
Another complication arose with baggage when GR604 reached LGW. Cases stowed in the forward hold of G-NSEY could not be retrieved as the hold would not open. After unsuccessful attempts to open it, the capt. elected to get the a/c back to GCI for repair. The EMB195 seems to have had its fair share of tech delays or instances of damage at LGW recently. This accounts for GR605/6 being behind schedule.
What is it going to cost AUR getting cases delivered to disgruntled pax - some of whom had onward flights from LGW? None of this is going to return AUR to profitability.
