Anyone heard whats happening with the Man-Jfk yet ? Are the Man based cabin crew staying on it or will Edi/Lcy be operating it or will it be Lhr crews ? The 76 rumours are v quiet...any news out there ?

Talk around Waterside is that BACF are pushing for a LCY-MAN route. After all, the management will need a taxi service from the office to the 'operation'! Otherwise, how can they be expected to even recognise an RJ100?
LCY-GLA is a goer, (possibly linked to an Iberian destination) as is a number of aircraft nightstopping in 'The Smoke'.
There are however, serious problems with the timescales for the start of the new venture. Apparently it's one hell of a mess! Wonder if that's a sign of things to come!

In fairness was there not the opportunity to make MORE on LCY-EDI and focus ops there at the time? Remember the whole RBS block buying deal? Seems to have worked, good luck for GLA-LCY.
By God they really are London Airways now......hope this doesn't impact on LGW as easyJet are now on the route their.

Operator - BAConnect
Meant to add to the above post, the operator still says BAConnect on the BA website.
Wonder when BA will officially announce the launch of BACityflyer

Not Cardiff yet!
But this bunch have more aircraft than they know what to do with, so ANYWHERE is possible. Don't forget, this time, it doesn't even have to make a profit!!
Zurich's looking good too!
