bottom line is that this is a good deal for Aurigny. Just because skycruiser's had a bit of bad luck recently doesn't mean he should knock the company that gave him quite a good break. Name one airline that doesn't have the critics and the supporters.
Aurigny has not 'lost' any routes, in fact they have expanded considerably in the last 3 years, and here they go again. Amsterdam was dropped due to sound financial forecasting, it wasn't taken away

Gurnzee,

I am quite interested in what bad luck you think I have had recently, as this is news to me.

For you info I currently work for one of the best airlines in the world, they have bought me a flat and are paying me 3 times what my former company did I, I am flying a heavy jet around the world. So please tell me what bad luck you think I am having.

I am having the time of my life pal.

Now you should know better that to listen to rumours gurn. I know what it's like over there for nasty little rumours.........Enjoy the winds and cold of Guernsey, it's 30c here and the tan is coming on well.

see ya

It's no surprise BA can't make money on this route - the cost of the feng shui in waterworld has to come from somewhere!!
I've flown ATR 42's and 72's and RJ100's on the LGW - GCI routes under the "BA" banner and have probably had load factors averaging 90% plus. Don't tell me that these tickets were given away.
BA management couldn't organise a shag in a whorehouse.
Being also ex-Aurigny (trislanders) I'm pleased to see the chances for expansion there. One of the best companies I've ever worked for

flyBe, along with Msr le Cocq, are still not happy with the result of the 'take over' but they realise they are farting against thunder. le Cocq want a cast iron guarantee that competition won't be compromised - like that'll happen - and may withdraw their licence to fly ACI - JER. flyBe are threatening to 'look into' their LGW - GCI operation as they 'won't compete against a state run monopoly' - like anything will change there. Won't it be a pleasure for AAS if they have a monopoly to London!!

WK - you will be sad to hear the tri's ops are being scaled back this year. The shed(s) are doing most of the inter-islands now but less frequently.
SC - case of 'mistaken identity' it seems, apologies naturellement!

BA Management

With due respect in regard to this route BA has made a perfectly sound decision, this is reflected in the intrigue that has been generated from there pull out.

Clearly monies made on this route are minimal and this is reflected in the lack of interest shown bvy other Uk carriers. Clearly the States government realise this to which is why they made a generous offer to ensure it retains an airlink to the mainland.
