BA to Leeds Bradford
12/05/12 | Forum post in reply to TominScotland

On behalf of all the "miserable complainers in the regions" who respond to "London Airways" mouthpiece, we must put a stop to the 'react' mode business model of IAG/BA. I know it makes 'business sense' to be short-term-ist, especially when...

The Inflight Magazine...Gift or Theft?
12/05/12 | Forum post in reply to skyguy79

The inflight mag is a freebie, and if not a self-funding profit-contributor, it should be purged out immediately. Those who want should pay journalists their earned wages. . To max the advertising revenue, multiple reads are best. So MUST...

bmibaby being shut down, starting 11th June
05/05/12 | Forum post in reply to scotnut2407

I would guess that if it's just a paint job then bulgarian rates at Luftytek would undercut BA at LHR, plus there could be unused Star-Alliance credit, or residual preferentials to use up, and its service history as a Star-Alliance unit, with...
