I would like to express my disappointment in baby for axing its LGW "base". Baby really missed its chance to operate a couple of niche markets out of LGW, if baby had gone twice daily to ORK it really might have been able to give EZY a run for its money. I'm sure NOC would have been a profitable market for baby also.
I do wonder however what possessed baby management to think they could really make a real go of it at LGW if they couldn't get the slots though? Well it all adds to the "failed destinations" bin at baby HQ. what next i wonder??
With BHX opening in January, i do wonder how much cannibalistion it will cause to EMA? I have heard that EMA will go down to 5 based a/c next summer. Some routes at BHX will work like AMS & PRG as theres no other loco competition but i do wonder how they can expect to compete with BA & BE on the domestic routes?

Thought not.
I've rarely seen such uncoordinated, haphazard, ill thought out, crisis management style policies.........
.........except in the parent company!
