Why would anyone think there was demand to Amsterdam
2) And as that Darling man in No11 has decided that days of arrival and departure in the UK will count towards the 90 days average used to decide whether one is UK resident for tax purposes, avoiding LHR or indeed any UK airport will become more important next year. (I've been looking at DUB, but most connections don't work).

It is interesting to note that that there was none of the usual positive fantasy spin in JS's statement in the paper. Presumably it is the banks/accountants that are calling the shots now.
Surely they must have known this sort of news would eventually get out and would have an upbeat answer to give about what would replace the Dash's.
Maybe Aer Arann will operate all their services after April

Looks like its on a slow run down to avoid any nastiness with the IOM Gov. I have a friend who works there and she says the Finance Director (a consultant who has been there for a year and a half) is also working notice.

No doubt we will soon get the usual complaints about "open skies" policy causing all the problems from JS. It has a lot of truth in it, but he was quiet happy to take advantage of it to set up routes.
Perhaps the finance boys have seen that the successful model for the IOM is to run a "Ticket Agency" and charter in aircraft as necessary.

Building next
Manx Crab is on the nail
. Rumour in the Railway is that Head Office building is going next 
as the sell off continues. Once "outsorced" staff have gone the plan is to move whats left back into a leesed office in the airport No building, no planes, no sales director, no ticket staff.... if they dont tell the staff soon whats happening theyll soon have no nothing as people wont put up with not being told what theyre future is.

TP - they're not rumours, they're events that have been announced by the Company itself.

What people are wondering (quite rightly) is where it is all leading.
I don't understand how JS still involved with EM ??, I thought he'd relinquished his interests with the recent 'management buyout' ??.
I'm sure someone will be kind enough to explain.

Dash 8's for sale
Guv'nor was apparentley offered the 2 Dash8's for sale by Swiss broker a week ago. Asking price seems to have halved from £15m to $15m.OOps.. 3 nice J41's is whats needed there. Forget the lowish cost model and fly a business service into LCY and MAN with higher fares and full service = full planes. 7x a day to LPL with full loads = loadsamoney.

328's
and presumably their new owner who also owns club328 knows where to pick up (or lease more likely) three cheap ones. 
Seems the group also holds a lot of 328 spares. Would be a few expensive type ratings needed by crews unless they just go the ACMI route.

I remember when Eastern operated MAN-NWI route before BE announced it. When the dreaded announcement came, Eastern was straight off of the route as they could not compete with the on price and comfort.
If EMZ were to take this route, then that would be what would happen. If the airline reduced there aircraft size, especially on the LCY route, fares will increase dramatically and will give VLM a bigger market share.
Not a good idea.

Surely a cheaper option would be to simply replace the 300 series aircraft with another 200. Not as nice for the paying public but accountants do not look or care about that
Club 328 has been sold by the new owners to PlaneChartering Ltd so it is doubtful if they have access any more to 328's.
If EMX survive and continue independently then I think it will be what I have said before, the "Ticket Agency" route
