Go easy on Vickers. You know what he/she means about Easyjet possibly reducing frequency to the south coast of England now that Loganair have decided they want to reduce SOU flying

Could see LM reducing flights between GLA & SOU etc when EZY launched the route. There is no way they can complete with easyJet fares. LM could provide the multiple daily frequency but not at the sort of fares EZY can deliver with a larger aircraft.
They're not complimentary, easyJet can take just enough volume off Loganair to kill yields, and hence no multiple daily frequency. On these niche routes with tight margins, it's not like one operator is for holidays and another solely for business. I don't see room for both.

Looking at the SOU-GLA schedule, LM have taken out the flights where easyJet were sitting right on top of them, but have left everything else. It's gone from 4pd to 3pd on weekdays up to Thursday then stayed where it was on Fri, Sat & Sun. So for example easyJet fly early afternoon on Mondays and the LM 1400 ex GLA and 1600 ex SOU have been taken out. easyJet fly early morning on Wednesday so the LM 0645 ex GLA and 0840 ex SOU have gone. Probably wise to avoid scheduling on top of each other.
SOU-EDI has gone back to a conventional 4pd with no nightstop.
In the current market it's hard to see where these EcoJet people believe that they can secure aircraft in time and recruit crews. They are starting to make visible moves but I just don't understand what they think they can do. It's shaping up to be Flybe Mk3, I think.

From the very little I hear, this was in train before that blew up. I am sure the immature acts of a departing pilot would not trigger this - most airlines would change CEO every week if they left office on the basis of a stupid social media post by an employee! The pilot concerned has some long overdue growing up to do. They take a very dim view of that sort of thing in Holiday House.
I suspect JH has a very good idea of what’s ahead.

Not enough passengers or pilots?
From SeanM1997 on twitter - Loganair are to drop their Glasgow to Exeter route from 29th March.
They seem to have quite a few cuts to routes across the network recently, most being ones without competition. Are we just seeing a fall off in demand, or is the pilot shortage mentioned on here taking its toll on the airline?

Luke Farajallah was in charge of Specialist Aviation Services which went into administration just after it was sold to Gama Aviation last year. Gama is also behind the new Bond helicopters which is Peter Bond, who is one of the shareholders in Loganair. Could it be that the shareholder want’s more influence over the running of Loganair? It strikes me as more than a coincidence that a new CEO has been announced only six weeks after the last one left, and who has also strong connections with the shareholder’.
Furthermore, Stephen and Peter Bond announced in October 2022 that Loganair was being offered for sale with a sale date completed by mid-2023. However, it was announced 06 Oct 2023 that Loganair was no longer for sale citing: “specific issues impacting the world-wide supply chain availability and costs”.
Could it be that the shareholders decided that a change of CEO to someone who is more malleable was the direction to go in? which appears to have been achieved. The fact that the previous CEO left so suddenly without any prior warning makes me wonder.
