Fairdealfrank the only way to stop the floods of drivel is not to engage this chap. It is most evidently futile and I even though I am ignoring him, I keep seeing his nonsense quoted back by other more sensible posters.

Should he send his views to the House of Commons Transport Select Committee instead? Its members, at least, would be paid to read them, as part of their day job.

But BALHR posts are so drawn out and to be honest rather boring to read if only they were shorter perhaps they would make for better reading!

Because your posts are generally boring, ridiculous, annoying, persistent, long winded, without any clear knowledge of the aviation industry and to be totally honest just pure pipe dreams to suit your own interest and nothing to do with reality!

You use the excuse that you don't have much time, so when you do have some spare time, you make the most of it and post as much as possible.
I can guarantee, that most of the readers of this forum work full time and will have even less of that precious time to read and perhaps post something on these pages. However, we don't feel the need to completely monopolize pprune.
Please stop doing it. Give others a chance.
You may want to spend some of your time learning a bit more about aviation. That means reading, without posting so often.

Maybe he's sent them to the Davies commission. Perhaps that's why they've been given till 2015...........

How is the 'little red' product performing?
I was rather intrigued that they decided to enter the domestic market, and have always thought it was something virgin could always crack. I assume GLA is the next route, I was surprised to see ABZ over GLA. Seeing as it was set up in protest for losing the rail franchise, is the future secure now they retained the franchise for few more years.
Assume NCL, BFS and GLA are future markets.
Edit, oh found this quote. Does this mean they can never fly to glasgow,
Why only glasgow?

Speaking yesterday, Mr Branson said that while he was ‘thrilled’ that Virgin had finally been allowed to expand services to Edinburgh and Aberdeen, he was unhappy that they had been prevented from operating out of Glasgow.
‘I would love to be flying to Glasgow as well, but for some bizarre reason the competition authorities, who bequeathed us these slots, didn’t allow us to have the slots to compete with British airways out of Glasgow’, added the millionaire businessman.

The reason it was ABZ and EDI ,is that it was those routes where overlap occurred between BMI and BA. BA was already the sole operator on GLA so the takeover of BMI by BA did not change the competitive position.
IF SRB is so keen to serve GLA as well he needs to fork out to acquire the slots or substitute GLA for other VS routes .He wants the slots given to him.
The spare slots VS had themselves were used for MAN which was obviously preferred over GLA.
There's no chance of NCL , BFS etc unless VS can get slots FOC and even then they would probably use the slots elsewhere unless a condition of being given them was they had to used on BFS or NCL.

Little Red seems to be doing OK for what is essentially a start up.
I have flown with them three times now and the thing that stands out is the EI crew in VS uniforms - they have all been really excellent - I am not sure what I was expecting but they seem to have a winning way.
Last flight was about 85% full on a Thursday from EDI.

I reiterate what SealinkBF says, I flew Little Red a few weeks ago, the service from the crew was brilliant. It's a great offering from VS and I do think BA may need to up their game on Domestic.
