DUB PIK Apr
I wanted to try the new Business focused FR to GLA out tue back Thursday in April, no FR flights? 5 EIR options each day, where did FR go? Used to be 3 a day on this route, or is a timetable change due ?

Latest rumour is for a once daily service to DUB but it is not set in stone yet. Apparently this lack of airframes problem is causing large headaches all over RYR.

You must be higher up than me as this place loves the 'Mushroom' method of management!

My info tells me that they have tried to increase the rent on both the hangar and an on-site warehouse to rather more than you'd expect to pay at Heathrow, as well as a bunch of other highly suspect decisions.
I guess there must be a huge queue of companies waiting to come in there - enough that they can afford to turn away business. Either that, or the existing management are simply demonstrating that they are as good at pissing Scots taxpayers' money up the wall as they are Infratil's...

Sadly, there's previous - remember Highland Express? BAA devoted substantial marketing largesse to buying-in that short lived airline; what funding might be derived from the Scottish taxpayer? Ah PIK, the howl of Cf104s, asymmetric 1-11/500s off 21, boot heels echoing thro a deserted concourse - -

Okay, so let`s say they do go. PIK are not making money from them as the deal stands. It would leave no carrier, but have others been scared off in the past because Ryanair are at PIK?
If Glasgow are welcoming them, then god help them, because it will end with a war with Easyjet, Jet2 and also the main charter companies.
If it didn`t mean that I`d more than likely have to relocate job as a result of them leaving and some of my colleagues losing there jobs, i`d say fe*k off to them!

FR have established themselves at EDI without the 'war' with EZY etc. It's a possibility that they may have negotiated a couple of non-EZY / JET2 destinations and aim to service these with non-based aircraft whilst keeping their 'sun' destinations at PIK - CabinCrewe will let us know the exact details as he/she seems to in the know and has been for some time so he/she tells us.
