FR Put nothing back into the industry.
They make pilots pay to train, don't apprentice engineers, pay their cc virtually nothing and make their crew chase planes around Europe to work.
SO GOOD when it doesn't go all your own way and Airports mess you around.
Anybody who defends these guys is a fool, ten years ago a 737 FO could easily support a family, im not so sure now.

Interesting, the routes will already start this summer, while the runway lengthening will only be finished before next summer.
Until then they will have a (slight?) capacity restriction on the 5900ft runway of Groningen.

If you do work for them, leave and get a job elsewhere
For what it's worth, I know a couple of people who work for FR (flight deck and crew), yeah they say it's hard work but don't moan about pay and conditions

Flew FR today because EI to/from DUB times today weren't too convenient. I had a rather interesting experience. Ever seen a film called The Ugly Truth? The part where they go out on a date to the baseball and she spills the drink? I sure hope the FA on my return flight wasn't using it for inspiration. She decided to open a can of lemonade over me / my seat and as you will have guessed, all over my suit trousers. I ask for some tissues (surprised she didn't charge me for it hah), she brings them as asked, and decided to wipe/dry it up for me. Of course this caused great humour amongst the other gentlemen travel companions I had...
Thanks FR for such a memorable delay!

I'm afraid something with the fees at MAD. Eindhoven-Madrid was doing very well and got cancelled as well. Some story on the LGW-MAD route. Very very strange

Whatever the reason, such constant juggling with schedules including the cancellations of already scheduled flights would make any carrier simply unreliable. In practice, juggling with schedules equals to juggling with pax. At the cost of poorer LF's in the future, most likely.

I agree with pee - while in the short term chopping routes will maintain profitability (as new deals and marketing incentives are made) it does however in the long term drive a loyal passenger base away. A big focus now is finding the most profitable routes for the 300 aircraft, seeing as there will no longer be A/C growth, PAX and revenue growth has to come from the most sustainable and profitable routes, so expect a lot of network changes in the next 18 months.
