It was explained clearly to you why Loganair would leave SOU if easyJet came in. You demonstate that you literally do not comprehend how this airline has survived 61 years. Please stop rantiing.

There's no big opportunity. No one even makes western commercial turboprops anymore other than the ATR in small numbers. Loganair were realistic and rolled over 40 year old Saabs for 20 year old...

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...

That's intetesting, can you expand a bit? Was it an additional expense in the move to ATRs?

It's more that the offering to market changed. With no Ryanair or easyJet offerings, BACON may well be around today offering high frequency high fare business type service. But that old world died...

Wow! Is this for real? What a ludicrous thing to say. Aside from a morning and evening day return option, what exactly more do you want? If "lower fares" then you cannot get that from Loganair on...

Surely it would have landed only if the RVR improved OR their landing CAT was higher than the diverting Loganair. If easyJet did knock Loganair out of SOU, do you think they'd offer business friendly...

Everything BA touches outside of London they FUBAR, not intentionally, but they do. I have no idea how any venture capitalist would justify any ROI on Loganair's margins. It is what it is, but highly...

I don't remember flybe going against BA on GLA-SOU, they were however competing on GLA-BHX with the 146 from 1997. I think flybe inherited GLA-SOU in the BA sale? I thought Loganair lauched the...
