"Bristol and Cardiff are going to be busy"

Er, no actually, not touching their traffic with the proverbial bargepole. They'll just have to find some staff from somewhere and do it themselves.

BTW, the one to Cardiff was set in motion long before this fiasco came along. The timing was purely coincidence.

How does that work then? I think I might refuse to work Cessnas and Cherokees on the circuit!!

So far I've been able to avoid 60% of their tfc, couldn't escape responsibility on the other 40%.

Big rumours of changes at Hook this week, major exasperation and audiable gasps that there is competitor on the Gibraltar contract, major failure to explain to the Serco board why there have been recent contract losses leads to much shuffling of top neddies and all that....

No, I think madam has survived with her usual consumate skill, but I think that other people who have the pleasure of reporting to her weren't quite so lucky....
